Spots on the Internet 2019.

[Dave Ward]

Following on from last years 'Spots on the Internet', I'll be continuing to post things I've noted - it's not exhaustive, mainly items that interest me ( You'll never find any Sci-Fi posts from me! ).
Please feel free to post items that you find, just attribute where you found it ( Facebook, website etc )

The first news of the Year was a mailshot from Revell showing some 2019 releases - but nothing on the website yet! I notice at least 3 reboxings of ICM models. The main header was this......................[ATTACH]324515[/ATTACH]
Of interest to me, as I worked for Deutz for several years ( after this, though! ), and designed two engines for them. I already have a Heller little grey Fergie in the stash, so this may be a companion piece.....................

Looks good but I just KNOW I'm going to need at least 5 winning numbers to afford it!

Um … Bronco has listened to complaints by (very old) modellers that they’re tired of building nothing but Grants, Crusaders, and Humber Snipes?

Model railway and wargaming in 54mm, maybe ???
I remember when Airfix produced 1/32nd rather than 1/35th scale and caused me problems deciding whether to buy 1/32nd and 54mm or move to 1/35th which ( my bad memory tells me) was what Esci/Heller/Tamiya etc were making their kits in.
