Minicraft RMS Titanic
#11312 1/350 Scale
No ship collection could be complete without a model of what is possibly the most famous ship in modern history. Though tragedy led to that fame, it is more important to consider the safety features now found on modern luxury vessels as a result of that tragedy. Few vessels have been studies as much as Titanic. This model was created from the most exacting data that could be provided by experts in the field and is considered the most accurate model of the ill-fated ship. Painstaking engineering has reproduced the proper number of windows in the skylight, for example, and the marking for each individual lifeboat correctly replicated of these on the ship. Also found on this model are the ship’s bell, free-floating forward cargo boom, center anchor and double-braced anchor chain, and, of course, those distinctive quadruple funnels!
Created from the most exacting data that could be provided by experts in the field and is considered the most accurate model kit available.

NEW FIGURES!!
Master Box
#3599 Patroling
Vietnam War Series
1/35 Scale
Master Box just released their first figures set dealing with the Vietnam war.The four US soldiers are all in very relaxed poses meeting the civilian during patrol. Each of the soldier figures have most of their gear and equipment as separate parts, and the helmets are mounted or not. This makes these figures very universal and gives many opportunities to rework them for other purposes. Master Box even provides a cap, a helmet and two different hats for each figure.

NEW FIGURES!!
Master Box
#3598 LRDG in North Africa WWII era
1/35 Scale
Master Box created another figure set for the WW II battles in Africa. This time it is a five figure set of British LRDG members.
This set contains five figures, which can be used for displaying the crew of a LRDG truck (like the unfortunately long OOP Tamiya Chevrolet truck) at rest or breakdown.
The first crew member in a seated position wears a beard which is very nicely done for a plastic figure. The second and third figure are part of the recovery scene in this set. While one uses the shovel, the other holds a length of PSP planking and watches the worker doing his job. The detail of their uniforms is extremely sharp.

Dragon Models
#6558 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M w/Wading Muffler
1/35 Scale
Another fairly full box from Dragon...although there is a fair amount destined for the spares box too in this one. The Dragon Panzer III is going the way of the Dragon Panzer IV it seems, in that Dragon or their stable mate Cyber-Hobby seems determined to try and release every possible variant of both vehicles. They're well on their way too. A Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf M has also been previously released by Cyber-Hobby in February of last year, kit #6605.
Inside the box there are twelve large sprues of grey styrene, four smaller and two transparent. In addition there are a separate lower hull and turret, photo-etched fret, Magic Track, and small decal sheet.

NEW and IN STOCK
Meng Pick Up w/ZPU-1
1/35 Scale Plasic Kit
This is the first kit from new manufacturer Meng Models labelled Pick Up w/ZPU-1 and appears to represent a 1997 Toyota HiLux 4x4 Duel Cab SR5. The kit also includes the Russian 14.5mm ZPU-1 single barrelled Anti-aircraft gun and a single seated gunner figure.
The kit consists of 180 plastic parts with some in black, grey and white plastic, 10 in clear plastic, 16 etched metal parts with a black anodised finish, 5 rubber compound tyres, a 20 page colour instruction booklet and small decal sheet. The quality of the plastic moulding is good with no apparent flash and a bare minimum of pin marks with very clean crisp detail on the plastic parts although there was the odd sink mark on a few of the parts.

Following on from their first kit of the Pick Up w/ZPU-1 (kit #VS001) Meng Models have now released a second kit which is basically the same 1997 Toyota HiLux 4x4 Duel Cab SR5 with the inclusion of a Barrett M82A1 12.7mm semi-automatic rifle, M240B 7.62mm GPMG, a selection of equipment such as coolers, packs and drink bottles plus a standing figure.

HOT NEW RELEASE!!
Dragon Models
1/48 Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle"
Hot on the heels of Dragon’s new 1/72 scale collection of spacecraft kits, a new range of larger models scaled at 1/48 is also blasting off! The first kit shows the Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, which landed on the southern Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. The first astronaut to set foot on lunar soil was Neil Armstrong, followed by Buzz Aldrin. The LM spent less than 24 hours on the Moon’s surface, while the Command Module (CM) named Columbia orbited above. The spacecraft then returned to Earth on 24 July, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
In this larger scale, the LM model possesses even more refined detail. The kit utilizes all-new toolings to match the new scale. Of special note is the heat-reflecting material under the module. The wrinkled surface is pre-painted in the appropriate gold color. Since it’s difficult for modelers to paint this reflective material realistically, such a thoughtful touch will save time and will result in an even higher-quality model. The LM is depicted in its landing mode with four legs outstretched. The Apollo 11 mission was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Now modelers can commemorate this event with this stunning “larger than life” Apollo 11 Lunar Module in 1/48 scale.

NEW BOOK!
Destruction of a Dream - Tragedy of Avro Canada and The CF-105 Arrow - Vol 4: Master In Our Own House?
The fourth and final volume, Master in our own house?, discusses the project cancellation, the destruction of aircraft, engines and materials, post-Arrow projects, “Avroites” reunions and work at the Malton and Orenda plants until the Malton plant’s demolition in 2003.
More than 50 years after its demise, the CF-105 Arrow still evokes mixed emotions. Not only the Arrow, but all of Avro Canada’s postwar projects were significant undertakings for this country’s aircraft industry. Avro Canada and Orenda Engines were really “the” places to work for during the period of 1945 to 1959. Unfortunately, a few of these projects would never be fulfilled.
Marc-André Valiquette is writing a four-volume series (the first ever in a bilingual format) that also for the first time tells the entire story of the Malton plant, from its creation in 1938 until its demolition in 2003.
The fourth and final volume, Master in our own house?, discusses the project cancellation, the destruction of aircraft, engines and materials, post-Arrow projects, “Avroites” reunions and work at the Malton and Orenda plants until the Malton plant’s demolition in 2003. |

Bachmann Civil War HO Scale Train Set - Confederate
Commemorative 150th Anniversary Edition
With the shots fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the War Between the States officially began 150 years ago. Railroading would play a key role in the Civil War, providing logistical support and carrying munitions, supplies, and troops to each side’s respective armies in the field. Lacking the financial power and the more standardized rail system of their Northern counterparts, Southern-held railroads relied heavily on the ingenuity of their railroad men to support the troops. A typical Confederate consist featured an assortment of commandeered railing stock bearing the names of a variety of Southern railroads. In a similar fashion, our Commemorative 150th Anniversary Edition Civil War - Confederate set comes complete with:
·4-4-0 American locomotive with operating headlight and tender
·Civil War era water car (Manassas Gap)
·Civil War era box car ( Savannah , Albany & Gulf)
·Civil War era gondola (Fredericksburg & Potomac)
·Civil War era flat car (Mississippi Central & Louisiana)
·Civil War era bobber caboose (Atlanta & West Point)
·56″ x 38″ oval of E-Z Track® including 12 pieces of curved track, 3 pieces of straight track, and 1 plug-in terminal rerailer
·100-piece set of Civil War military figures (gray)
·3 cannons
·4 horses

Bachmann Civil War HO Scale Train Set - Cival War
Commemorative 150th Anniversary Edition
With the shots fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the War Between the States officially began 150 years ago. From the start of the Civil War, the Union recognized the advantages offered by railroads and was quick to employ the “iron horses” for the first time in a military campaign. With the formation of the United States Military Railroads (USMRR), the Federals gained the authority to take possession of whatever equipment was necessary to operate strategic rail lines in support of the Union Army. Backed by the government and managed by the leading railroad men of the time, a well-equipped USMRR train was commonly powered by a 4-4-0 locomotive pulling a box car, flat car, water tank car, and gondola. A trailing combine often served as a guard car to ward off Confederate attacks. Our Commemorative 150th Anniversary Edition Civil War - Union set marks this turning point in our nation's history and comes complete with:
·4-4-0 American locomotive with operating headlight and tender
·United States Military Railroad water car
·United States Military Railroad box car
·United States Military Railroad gondola
·United States Military Railroad flat car
·United States Military Railroad combine
·56″x 38″ oval of E-Z Track® including 12 pieces of curved track, 3 pieces of straight track, and 1 plug-in terminal rerailer
·100-piece set of Civil War military figures (blue)
·3 cannons
·4 horses

NEW ARRIVAL...
Bronco
1/35 M1114 Up-Armored HA (Heavy) Tactical Vehicle
Molding is excellent with superb detail that is very much up to standards. There is a nicely done photo etch sheet with plastic on both sides to help in cutting. A nicely done decal sheet provides for one of four markings options.
Despite the rather high parts count, this one is a curbside with no engine. However, that in no way means it is lacking in detail. The chassis is highly detailed as is the interior and even the bed area. There is so much 'stuff' in this vehicle, it is difficult to see how it could actually carry anyone!
The kit also comes with a lot of accessories like guns, ammo cans, fuel cans and such so that you can make the vehicle seem even more busy.

NEW ARRIVAL...
Bronco
1/35 British 25pdr SP 'Bishop'
Here is another well detailed kit from Bronco. The kit includes a nicely done interior complete with driver's station and large transmission. In the back, there is a rear end section with cooling fans and large radiators that can be swiveled to reveal more detail. What is the only thing missing is an engine!
Inside the gun shield are well detailed radios and many ammunition racks. Bronco includes separate rounds for your use as well as some ammo cases. The Bishop has large doors on the back, unlike many SPGs, and these can be posed open or closed.
|
 |
NEW ARRIVAL...
Bronco
1/35 Humber Armored Car MK.IV
This one continues Bronco's impressive line-up of military vehicles with oodles of detail and for this boxing, the ability to use a full hull and turret that are molded in clear plastic. This allows the intensively detailed interior to be much easier to see from the outside.
A full engine, full suspension, radio fit, ammo storage, complete gun detail, driver's position, transmission detail, gunner's position and commander's position are among the areas of detail one normally doesn't find in armor kits. Bronco has included a photo etch fret to handle some of the finer detail parts and they seem to be quite appropriate for the medium, representing mostly flat pieces.
