On the Trumpeter/HobbyBoss Facebook page - 35 pictures of kit boxes for upcoming releases - I'm not going to post these - too many - also the pictures are taken at an oblique angle, which doesn't help to show them off!

ICM are really going for it with their aircraft releases arent they . I-16 ,I-153 , gladiator etc all in 1/32 and a flurry of great subjects in 1/48 its fantastic to see a maker doing something other than 109s and mustangs! Maybe we will finally see a decent yak 3/7/9 in 1/32 or even better a lavochkin la5/7 , now that would be straight on my shopping list!Comment

Tony,
have you looked at the Zvezda 1/48 La-5FN? That's a very nice model, I made it a few years ago..................

The interior detail is excellent, and you have to leave off the cowlings, to show that engine................
I made a quartet of 1/48 Russian fighters around the same time ( 2 years ago )
The Lagg-3 and the Yak-3 were rather mediocre, the I-16 was a lot of work - a superb engine, but no way to show it! . The La-5FN was my favourite!

Even in 1/16 these won't be that big ( <250mm )
Odd that the Type 94 is boxed as Chinese - The Type 94 was a Japanese tankette.....

I suspect they mean it represents a vehicle in Chinese service. The overall green colour would fit with that, as IIRC Japanese tanks always had camouflage patterns applied. Also note the text: “Resin PLA figure included”, so it represents a tank in service with the Communist forces in the Chinese Civil War.
Of course, given the sparse markings on Japanese tanks, all it would take for them to also offer a Japanese version is a few decals and some illustrations for the paint scheme …Comment
