Spots on the Internet 2019.

I saw a video from a show where they mentioned Blitz. Apparently a lower parts count to aid faster building or beginners.

[Guest]

Yet it contains photoetched parts. I suppose the quick build is mainly because of the link-and-length tracks and the included track jig.

As for the CIWS … has anyone ever released a model of that kind of subject before in 1:35 scale? (And if they’re listening: I’d like a Goalkeeper as the next subject in this range, please )

Hobby Fan did a 1/35 resin kit of the US Phalanx CIWS - but that's about it nothing injection moulded.

edit: RPG do an injection moulded CIWS

Well, a Jagdtiger - in their new Blitz category - unless it's the 2-in-1, I have no idea what that means!

So when are they going to release a 1/35 warship to mount that thing on!?

I was thinking maybe boatman might want to scratchbuild one?

Damn, I was thinking the same thing about Chris!!!!

I hope they aren't releasing that instead of the TFFT one you posted a few weeks ago. Still haven't seen any more info on that one.

[Dave Ward]

Hannants have the listing for the TFFT as 'future releases' with price TBA, and that's all the info, so far....................
Dave

[Guest]

Yes, that's the only info I've seen too.

I've even joined the trumpy facebook group to see if there's any more info there but no luck so far.

They’re both listed in a Trumpeter 2019 releases flyer I got earlier this year, so I suppose this is just them saying: “Here’s what’s next” without it affecting the things they already announced earlier.

A one-off armoured car.

Further to the RFM Facebook teaser posted earlier, the blurred sprue was this...................

Added to that was this...............

Well, I'm sure that someone will be thrilled by that - I mean no-one else has modelled the Pz IVs before have they? ( or more like who hasn't done the Pz IV range? ). I think that they will have to be exceptional models, and at a low price to be successful!
