Spots on the Internet

I may just want to buy myself a set of those to replace the AFV Club Sherman tracks I’m decidedly unimpressed by.

On the Trumpeter/HB Facebook page - Trial assembly of their 1/35 M911 Tractor & M747 semi trailer - and NO, I don't think you get 2 tractor units[ATTACH]307036[/ATTACH]

Now that's a beast! You'll need a big shelf to display that.......

Heh … I once converted a Tamiya Universal Carrier to that version. I suspect this one will be better than my efforts.

Roden's Holt 75 Tractor. I am in the process of building this and its an absolute nightmare. I suggest you pay careful attention to the reviews before parting with your hard earned cash. For me it was a terrific buy as I luv the challenge of putting a bad kit right.

On the MiniArt website - 'for sale in July' all 1/35............[ATTACH]307179[/ATTACH]
YET ANOTHER T-54/55 Variant!

Are there any online reviews Steve? I couldn't find any.

While looking for stuff about the Roden tractor I found this:



Makes a nice extra for the Scammell trucks they've released. They are also working on these:





I'm not sure about release dates as the website seems a bit vague, but it's surely nice to finally see more construction vehicles in kit form in 1/35 scale.

It can be very surprising that some of the manufacturers websites/Facebook pages can be so poor, and clunky - and I'm not just talking about the smaller makers, but the larger ones as well!
I found this on the Thunder Model Facebook page:[ATTACH]307354[/ATTACH]
The 7.2" is a real biggie - The Scammel itself isn't small!
As a minor aside, I won't post CAD renderings - they are too far from actual boxed models. - I once created a 5 cylinder diesel engine by cutting and pasting from my original production 4 cylinder 3D model - crankcase, cylinder head, crankshaft etc, for a presentation. I was asked when it was going into production ( It never did ), by one of the senior executives ( an old school gent ). It only took me about 2 weeks to generate all the unique parts. That was on a 3D system called CATIA from Dassault Systems

Wonder if they'll release this pair as a box set?

Model kit makers in the Far East seem to really like Flash — gods know why. Thunder Models doesn’t appear to be among them, but I’m not quite sure why they have this:
