1/144 Ju-87G 'Stuka' DUAL COMBO SUPER44 - Eduard



1/144 Junkers Ju 87G 'Stuka' DUAL COMBO SUPER44 - Eduard

Not much information at the moment, probably just a reissue with two in a box rather than a remold?
Interesting strategy though, having let Mark 1 models re-issue their old back catalogue 109s & 190s Eduard then choose to reissue their Ju087s themselves?

Release Date: March 2014

1/144 MAZ-541 Heavy Duty Tractor - Armory (Update)



1/144 MAZ-541 Heavy Duty Tractor - Armory (update!)

I can't quite work out if it looks like something from a Gerry Anderson Series such as Thunderbirds, or a squashed American Hot-Rod?

Anyway, this beast is a 38 Litre V-12 4x4 Heavy Duty Tractor, with 3 seats and dual driving positions!

It is a kit, not a solid built piece and comprises resin body, internals, steering wheels and road wheels; clear vacform windows; plus a sheet of PE detailing for the grill work.( see KG144BBS for more info)

My only gripe is it does not appear to have any glazing and has solid windows?
