Peterpools Posted March 19 Posted March 19 With all the modern technology, not creating an accurate model is close to a crime. Unfortunately, it all seems to come at a price these days, as we demand so much and that just fuel to the price elevator. The Beaufighter will be awesome for sure. 5

Saw that...here's the video. Not at all what I was guessing! An interesting subject.. The ubiquitous little M113 used by just about everyone for years! 4
BlrwestSiR Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Paul, there's going to be so much potential for the kit. Like you said, a lot of users and a lot of variants. I wouldn't mind an M163 one myself. 3

I wouldn't mind an M163 one myself. I'm pretty sure I'll go for this one....just imagine the aftermarket stuff that Will pop up! I remember one of these was in the movie The Killing Fields . I have the ancient Tamiya kit that I bought as a nostalgia thing....I built it as a kid and I thought I'd build it again....but this thing! That old 1/35 Tamiya kit will probably fit inside it! Here's a scene from that movie. 4
Artful69 Posted April 29 Posted April 29 The next ZM kit has been announced: There should be an Fw.190A-3 in “basic” format after this one I suspect … Aren’t we supposed to be getting another Hs.129 at some point? … with a different 37mm gun and was produced more than the others. Rog 6 1
