I've just been sent images of the relevant pages from Hobby Boss' 2010 Catalogue. Modern Enthusiasts take note!
Perhaps too much to list individually, but it's worth focussing on the 'core' theme of the company's release schedule. The Chinese PLA, as never before, are going to be a seriously-covered subject. This is encouraging on two fronts - firstly, it's becoming obvious that the Chinese domestic model market is increasing. Secondly, vehicles which previously were only seen as images on the 'Net or in specialist publications, are now going to be produced in model form - offering an exciting range of possibilities.

WWII is NOT figuring highly within the company's plans. The Sd.Kfz 222 and the 223 will both be kitted-out in 1/35th scale. Enthusiasts of NATO vehicles will also be seeing a few new releases - most notable the Canadian Leopard 2A6M.

Also, on the pages of the catalogue, are some interesting releases in 1/72nd - both with a railroad theme. Most spectacular will be the Dora RailGun. Just about 'do-able' in this scale!

Finally, my thanks to Hobby Boss for the images!

Yes, I also read it somewhere on the net and itīs a plausible solution. Iīve wondered about the BR-52 steam-loco and other "scaled-down" products... Thanks and greetings. Soeren
