Suyata?! Never heard of them!
Surely there's got to be some sort of copyright infringement?

Looks like it was done by a beginner to 3D animation - like the video of 'Walk of Life' by Dire Straits!, last century!

Money for Nothing

Walk of Life is the video with things like basketballers falling over each other.

And the kit looks like a parody to me, in which case there is no question of copyright infringement: parody is generally allowed under copyright laws.

And Suyata appear to be Chinese, well known for its protection of copyright and IP........

Maybe the two companies are actually linked? The way manufacturers nowadays are putting other company moulds in their own boxes - clearly with permission - I suppose it's a possibility.

Fiat CR.42 in 1/32! This is as a Luftwaffe ground attack version, but I'm sure the basic Italian fighter will be in the pipeline. There are sprue shots on the website, so it can't be too far away. I think this will be the first CR.42 in 1/32, so thumbs up to ICM

Spell-checking seems to be very difficult for some boxtops layout people …

I also note that the Pz.Kpfw. IV apparently has suspension bars. I doubt they mean the bars from which the Schürzen are suspended

I would guess at least 27, minus what they’ve released so far (which I can’t be bothered to look up ).
