1/144 Soviet "LUN" Class Ekranoplan - TAKOM

 



1/144 Soviet "LUN" Class Ekranoplan - TAKOM

An unexpected release from TAKOM, who are not afraid to do the unexpected (Except for releasing the P.1500 😀).  This will be quite large, but at least it doesnt have a huge wingspan - so, it (possibly)  should fit on a shelf at least.

1/144 Unionist 13-inch Coastal Mortar - Heroes Models

 


1/144 Unionist 13-inch Coastal Mortar - Heroes Models

Heroes Models have produced another excellent diorama (see also their SE Asia Buddhist Temple that would feature nicely in a 'Vietnam' era diorama 1-144-buddhist-temple-ruins)

This kit comes with a range of mixed media items, including a wooden mortar base and even metal ball bearing to act as your mortar shot'! 

The figures are well cast and will test your eyesight to paint the piping on the collars and cuffs of the period uniforms.

Note: The diorama picture includes mounts and bases not included in this kit, but demonstrate the quality and level of detail you can achieve in producing a vignette in this scale! 

A ready to assemble resin model in 1/144 scale to represent the 13-inch Coastal Mortar called “The Dictator” used during American Civil War.

8 resin pieces 

- Two Unionist artilleryman figures, with a barrel 

- Laser engraved wood base

- Four metal mortar shells

- Information, assembly and painting guide.


Price: 9,00€ + Shipping.

The slight distortion on this image is due to my camera lens.

If you like the American Civil War period, keep an eye out for the forthcoming Mikr-Mir releases of the Iron Clad Monitor ships.
