A LVTH-6........

Must be based on AFV Club’s LVTP-5 that was released about twenty years ago. All it takes is a new upper deck with a turret. It surprises me a bit that it took them this long to bring out this model, but since it’s Hobby Fan it won’t be cheap

From the AFV Club chaotic Facebook page, some conventional models...........

And maybe some to dismay Mr Low!

The last may interest SteveH - he's doing a toon conversion to make one of these!

That looks like a thoroughly inaccurate model, even for a toon-style one. Or does it include a diorama base with a big furrow in the ground so that you can display the plane in its natural habitat?

Looks good - bet it's a pig to assemble!

Looks as if they had trouble assembling the tracks for the box art!

This has happened before with a Pz IV A, Azimut conversion for 50 euro then Dragon released it months later!!!
I'll have to make a short barrelled A-E, which I had planned to, as I'm reusing the gun.
Update soon

On the Rye Fields Model Facebook site - pictures of the full interior of their upcoming Jagdpanther G2........................
There's no denying that looks superb. BUT I still can't grasp how you can show such fantastic detail, if you're going to show the torsion bars, how do you show the transmission, floor etc.? I've heard about cutaways, but never really seen one, apart from professional 'experten' builds! Like the MiniArt T54/55 tanks with full interior, I wonder how many modellers will use all that's in the box!

I suspect that a fair number of people will build this with all the parts in place, and then just leave the hatches open and say something like, “I know it’ll in there” and/or “I’ve got the photos to prove it.”

As for displaying it, I’ve got an Academy Tiger with full interior, that I cut lengthwise like Bovington’s Centurion, with the intention of displaying it in a diorama that also has a cut down the middle. This is another one of those models that I never finished, though

I think that looks fantastic, working torsion bars and all.....no idea how to display it though....I suppose you could make a sort of exploded diagram with it....or make three copies, showing the various layers....

[Dave Ward]

Or cut all the parts off the sprues, and photograph them like a Haynes' manual. I can see how you can display some parts, but not others! I don't like the idea of buying a model, knowing that a large percentage is going to stay in the box......
