From the MiniArt website, pictures of a test build of their upcoming su-122-54[ATTACH]314903[/ATTACH][ATTACH]314904[/ATTACH]

And, from a new Chinese Maker, RPG. [ATTACH]314901[/ATTACH][ATTACH]314902[/ATTACH]
Looks highly detailed, almost mixed media. Unfortunately, their website is all in Chinese, so no more info!

On the Zvezda Facebook page................................[ATTACH]315108[/ATTACH][ATTACH]315109[/ATTACH]

In 1/100 scale! - I must say, I was taken by the track detail - anyone made or seen any of their 1/100 models?

Zvezda’s 1/100 vehicles are intended for their wargames — those have figures and some guns in 1/72 (rather good ones at that) but vehicles in 1/100 probably so they don’t seem overly big on the table.

Interesting French WW1 guys, but not much marching going on for an “on the March” set!

[Dave Ward]

Tim,
sometimes, translations don't really work, for example the ICM slogan on every box, below their logo is " New in the Best" , which doesn't mean much in English! Still, I can forgive them for their really interesting models!! - like my 'in-progress' 1/35 Krupp truck

[Tim Marlow]

Agreed David, don’t really care if they get the English wrong, as long as they bring out new kits....especially when they are of unusual subjects...

[Guest]

The texts like “accurate copy of the prototype” and “correct details of uniform” also fall into that category, if you ask me. Who would advertise a model with “inaccurate to a large degree” on the box?
