After a long silence, on the Trumpeter/HobbyBoss Face book page - ' what we have been busy with '

If you thought it was difficult to get four wheels touching the ground - try sixteen!

From all the MiniArt sources - ' new kit coming '

Another iteration..........hardly 'new kit'

Here's a real odd one! - I was just skimming through the Revell website, to see what they say is 'new', and I came across this:

( Revell sell other makers models in their on-line shop ). A 1/24 Renault AG Taxi - I went and checked on Scalemates, and it said "new tool 2020". However on a review of the Heller model, it clearly states & shows it's the ICM model reboxed.

It's the first time I've seen a tie in between Heller & ICM.
Here's the odd thing - The Heller standard boxing can be found several pounds cheaper than the ICM - it's exactly the same model - the Paris taxis were all the same colour, so no difference.
If you're in the market for the 1/24 Renault Taxi, - shop around!

That simply means that whoever added the Heller version to Scalemates didn’t know of the connection between the two. (I’ve gone in and added that link, but it refuses to show up on the timeline for the Heller kit for some reason.)

A mix of scales & subjects!

I wonder what is the market for the 1/35 Bedford QL tanker? There are hardly any aircraft at that scale-except the Bronco Horsa glider......

I already have the IBG 20mm MkIIi AA version and it's a nice kit.

From what little I've read - and in willing to accept I may be wrong - the Bofors version with the full turret never saw service in NWE. Apparently, and I stress apparently, the version that did was basically a standard 40mm bofors simply added to the hull with its normal shield and not a full turret.
