AFV Club are not exactly the best when it comes to advertising their products! - I've given up on their website.............

That Patriot launcher kit is odd: “Plastic parts by Trumpeter” and “Including 4 sets resin pipeline”. It makes me wonder what AFV Club added to the Trumpeter kit (just the “brand new PE part”?), exactly, and what that pipeline is supposed to be. My first thought was a mistranslation of the Chinese for “missile” but a quick search on Wikipedia followed by using Google Translate seems to rule that out.

Hydraulic lines maybe?

The answer to the AFV Club question posed above - from their Facebook page:


On the Kinetic models Facebook page -" 1/48 Harrier GR1/GR3 Starting counting .... see if you in 60 days. This includes GR1/GR3 for RAF and 6 decals options. "

' In cooperation with Amusing Hobby ' - is that based on an existing Amusing Hobby Model?

Morn Dave,

No, it is not unless Amusing Hobby has a new kit in development. This carrier is based on the Borgward IV chassis. Dragon has a kit of the Borgward IV that was later re-boxed by Revell. Luciano Brach makes 2 complete resin kits of this ammo carrier in the 2 versions.

Modellbau König, here in Germany develops kits in association with Amusing Hobby. They also work with Takom to bring out the Das Werk line of kits. It's a new one and probably a new molding too.

Allen,
I have the Revell boxing of the Borgward IV - tiny individual links have put me off actually building it!

[Allen Dewire]

So right Dave,

Patience of a Saint and a battleship full of nerves to build them. BTW, Das Werk also copies the resin kits from Michael Baldeweg from Customscale in Berlin and has them made in plastic.....

Set aside a quiet time with no distractions, and no caffeine, and give them a go, I found thinking about tiny tracks worse than actually doing them.
