Well the Yujin items arrive, but as metal finished items!!

.

but where are they sold that I can buy from!!???

Please see the page of el-basser for very detailed photographs.

I think many people may now be disapointed they are not the model kits of previous series?

The colour of these items is perhaps a little odd and the detailing is not great!

1/144 Dioramas - ACTIVE-FIGURE Japan!

http://www.active-figure.co.jp/soutoukanntei.html

.

These are shown on the above website, please note:

I don't know if they are prototypes or production?

I do not know how much they would cost?

I do not know where they would be sold (I suspect direct from manufactuer)!

.

still, at least the diorama with bunkers & turrets could be recreated without too much trouble by someone skilled in that area of craft?

-

obviosly the building diorama is based upon the entrance to the Reich Chancellery

This is good news at a time when the quality of other manufactuerss products is poor.

The interesting additional point here is that Yujin is owned by or works with TOMY who are now part of the TAKARTOMY group who also make WTM!?

1/144 FE-Resin Junkers Ju 287V-1 !!! NICE !!!

NEW RELEASE

JUNKERS Ju 287v-1 SCHNELL BOMBER

A nice unusual kits, not cheap but worht it I feel!

The Canopy comes in two pieces and will need a little care to match up

(some Humbrol Clearfix - may help)

The kit comes with many resin parts, a 2-part plastic canopy and Decals (from Y-Kraft of Japan)

Remember theFE-RESIN kits are short-run kits, it may not be around for ever!

1/144 Fe-Resin Do 335V-6

NEW RELEASE!

An interesting variation on the Do335 - a Two Seater version!

FE-Resin also produce a "single" seat version, of which I have been in two minds over as I have number of Do335 from the TAKARA FAOW/WOTL series.

This version is obviously different.

The kit comes with many resin parts, a plastic canopy and Decals (from Y-Kraft of Japan)

Remember theFE-RESIN kits are short-run kits, it may not be around for ever!

1/144 FE-RESIN KIT - Blohm & Voss Bv 138c-1

Quite a large kit, but slightly out of the unusual.

The kit comes with many resin parts, a plastic canopy and Decals (from Y-Kraft of Japan)
This kit has been around for about a year now, so you may not be seeing it for much longer - as teh FE-RESIN kits are short-run kits?

1/144 Bandai L4

What happened?

Did the bandai master fall a sleep and reuse earlier kits for this series and hope no one notice?

L4 is very poor for the Fan of German Aircraft!!!

It has been seen before in Bandai or by others such as FTOYS, but FTOYS make a better Plane!

Even fan of other aircraft look forward now to the splendid FTOYS WII Warbirds!!

L4 is a boring series with little innovation, the quality of the item is poor compared to competitors such as TAKARA FAOW/WOTL series!

BANDAI WAKE UP NOW OR LOOSE YOUR MARKET -

THE OTHER GUYS THRASH YOUR PRODUCTS!!!

BANDAI what is you game????????

1/144 Resin Kit - Flak Panzer

Panzer E-100 with Twin 88mm Flak Cannons!!

1/144 Garage Resin kits VK4502 prototypes

Here are a couple of kits that I was able to purchase via a good friend in Japan.
They are two version of the Porsche tiger with the King Tiger turret mounted forwards and backwards.

sadly one barrel broke in the postal system....this is ok -

I will replace with a piece of metal?

I think this will give a better appearance anyway1
