HubertB Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Well, when I thought my year was made with the Lukgraph J2F-5 and the release of the Draken by Jetmads, it seems there will be more to the attack on my wallet … Technikit have announced they will release a 3D-printed 1/32 Mirage IV ! https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en Hubert 3 2
Administrators Fran Posted April 9 Author Administrators Posted April 9 Well, box art and some cad of the upcoming 1:35 He-111 from Border Models. 7

KevinM Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Well when the final sprues(border) come out and if they look like the CAD I might bite. 3

BlrwestSiR Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) At Shizuoka, BeeMax showed a prototype 1/12 Mazda 787B, the only rotary powered car to win LeMans. They also announced a 1/12 Porsche 917LH. Edited May 15 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 8

I seriously doubt those are intended for the production version, but why are they there now? To stress years off of our lives!?! lol 3D printing is a miracle and curse all rolled into one IMO. I saw this car at the LA auto show, I assume fresh from Le Mans, covered in dirt and bugs and grime from its win. It's why I fell in love with "dirty" race cars. 2

BlrwestSiR Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Bandai has released pics of their latest Perfect Grade Unleashed Gundam kit, the 1/60 RX-93 v Gundam. It's coming out at the end of the year, early next. Typical of most Bandai Gundam kits, it'll be moulded in full colour so you could build it to look like the pics without any need for paint. The level of detail is impressive, even the fingertips can be posed open. The announced price is ¥60,000. Yep, that's not a typo. So far one online shop in Canada has it listed for pre-order at $769 CAD. So tempting as it's one of my favourite Gundam designs. Although I'd have to sell one of the kids' kidneys for it. 2 2

Spitfire Posted Saturday at 10:26 AM Posted Saturday at 10:26 AM That Dauntless looks good despite the smaller scale, though that might usefull in saving some space in the display cabinet. Cheers Dennis
Administrators Fran Posted Tuesday at 08:00 AM Author Administrators Posted Tuesday at 08:00 AM Well, the Portuguese figure manufacture RP Models is making something that its not historical figure... Yes, is a C-130.... I`m folling this very closely and I will keep all LSM informed! Stay close and following! Fran 6

The 956/962 had so many different livery options: Rothmans, Newman, Coca Cola, Lowenbrau, Jagërmeister, etc. Not to mention the constant evolution of the design: short tail, long tail, separate tail. Plus throw in the Group C and IMSA differences and it's almost like the BF109 of race cars. Then there's the last LeMans win with the rule bending Dauer LM: a racecar version of a roadcar converted 962. 1

belugawhaleman Posted yesterday at 06:24 PM Posted yesterday at 06:24 PM I'd be interested in The Dauntles as long as it's not too costly. 1/35 is fine by me!
Count0 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago 3 hours ago, BlrwestSiR said: BF109 of race cars. This is a fine analogy. Volkswagen, Porsche, the two that I am most familiar with but possibly other German manufacturers after the war (And during, looking at Pz III/IV) Changed more or less in an evolutionary way. Almost grudgingly, it seems, especially in the case of the Type 1 and the 911. And very much so with the 956/962. Yes they had a lot of paint schemes, which is always a good thing, again, Ala, the 109, but its shape is just kinda meh. Particularly around the cockpit, which never seemed to change, long tail, short tail, what have you. It's not swoopy looking like the 917's once they figured those out, shape wise. The early ones are just kinda ugly, with typically, for the period, boring Porsche team paint jobs. I did see they are planing one of the Lang (long) cars. I believe that's the "psychedelic" purple/green car they previewed. Not really one I care for, but it means everything under the skin is tooled, waiting for one of the later bodies. which I would buy. The Jag's are much more flashy, shape wise. IMO. And I love the Silk Cut colors. I'll get my 962 fix when Tamiya repop's their kit with the Jagermeister orange paint scheme. With, I do believe Cartograph decals, so it's a one box purchase. 1
BlrwestSiR Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago The Silk Cut Jags had a great paint scheme. That's for sure. My favourite of the Jags would be the XJR-8 with the rounded down rear fenders.
