http://www.amazon.co.uk/Revell-03351-Bundeswehr-Vehicles-Scale/dp/B011RCHJTY

These are more curious as these do not form part of a former release, neither are they a reboxing of any other manufacturer that I am a ware off. So to-date would seem to be a bit of a departure for Revell.

1/144 Curtis -40B/C "Flying Tigers" by AFV Club

 

1/144 Curtis P-40B/C by AFV Club
While AFV Club is a well established producer of large scale AFVs this is their first adventure in 1/144.
It seems to be a simple inexpensive kit, that paints up nicely, and of a item that is not to readily available.

The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941–1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. The shark-faced nose art of the Flying Tigers remains among the most recognizable image of any individual combat aircraft or combat unit of World War II.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China_Air_Force

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47;

1/144 Sherman M4A1 - War Room Range by ACI Toys
ACI Toys are returning to 1/144 and have announced a new brand of products labelled "War Room", the first range under his brand is the icon Sherman M4A1. They appear to be pre assembled and pre painted so should quite easily go from box to shelf!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Sherman

For more information on each of the items in the range see the links below!
http://www.acitoys.com/warroom/wr01-m4a1/wr-01-m4a1-front.html

US Sherman M4A1 (WR-01-D)
US Sherman M4A1 (WR-01-E)
US Sherman M4A1 (WR-01-F)

I do not have pricing, or availability information at this time. Hopefully it will not be long before these are turning up at retailers, or online.

If ACI can sustain a new range of detailed range of armour,  I would be happy to see many more ranges issue to this standard and quality!

1/144 CGD Civilain @ Work WWII (30's - 50's) Set of 6
(Civilians in 30's to 50's Workmen Outfit)

An nice little set of figures for your dioramas or railroad/railway layouts, clearing rubble, laying tracks or building installations these should add an extra bit of detail and realism. All, we need know is a girl on a bicycle for them to 'wolf whistle' at! (Although, of course I couldn't possibly condone such sexist behavior!)


This set contains 6 civilians wearing 30's to 50's workmen outfit in various poses, fully painted .

Since civilian cloths varies in colours, this set are painted in random combinations. So if customer purchased two or more sets, the colour combination might be different. (Each set contains only 6 figures):

Figures are set in poses good for doing field works, roadworks or railway constructions.
Figures are shipped with protective bracket.

Modelled according to average Caucasian of height 5' 8" to 5' 10" (1.73m to 1.78m). Figure measures approximately 12mm when standing upright. Highly detailed, highly realistic and in real human proportion. NOT big headed cartoon-ish wargame figures!

Also good for "N" gauge or 12mm modelling.
(Diorama and vehicles NOT included)

Avialable:
CGD Ebay Store
or, to order at CGD WebShop
