VOTE @ Revell.de


VOTE @ Revell.de

Revell Germany has opened a new voting page, collecting ideas from the community (mainly for new kits) and holding a vote on each one. The site is available in German and English (you can switch on the top right of the page). I'm not sure how much influence this will have on Revells future plans but it might be an opportunity to promote 1/144th scale subjects. Feel free to join, add your ideas (in the "About" section) and vote for others.

Note: The English and German section have different listings/

1/144 AFV and Soft Skin Decals - Panzer Depot
To complement thier range of German AFV and Vehicles Panzer Depot, clearly shown here are your Tigers, Panthers, Sdkfz 251, T-34 Beutepanzers etc and more besides.

These ALPS style printed decals rival the old I-94 decals and should provide a welcome addition to either you Panzer Depot or perhaps your new Pegasus items?  The prices is fair, as I have certainly seem companies charging a lot for more the alps printer Aircraft decals! Being film printed, you may want put a coat or two of varnish over the top before cutting and removing from the backing sheet.

1/144 Carro Armato P40 - DAMEYA


1/144 Carro Armato P40 - DAMEYA
Dameya has made available on Shapeways another little gem that although taking inspiration from the T-34, was not a numerous or successful!
http://www.shapeways.com/model/1279404/1-144-carro-armato-p40.html

The P40 was an Italian World War II tank design. It was armed with a 75 mm gun and an 8 mm Breda machine gun, plus another optional machine gun in an anti-aircraft mount. The official Italian designation was Carro Armato ("armored tank") P 26/40. Design had started in 1940 but very few had been built by the time Italy signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1943 and the 100 or so  produced afterwards were used by the Germans, under the designation Panzerkampfwagen P40 737(i), and some are reported to be even used as pill boxes (due to a lack of engines) at Anzio.

PS: I Forgot to mention that this tank also features in the 'Girls und Panzer' anime series...! ;-)

I have found this interesting new 144 model and news website for 144, nicely laid out and full of good references for 144 models.

Worth you taking a look and adding to you favourite links, also its in Spanish - so you may need to use "google translate" (or similar machine translation?)
