They are AIRFIX tools! Our first 1/35 tank models that are new tools. I'm told Airfix USA will have samples of them by the AMPS show this May in Harrisburg.

Dave Kennedy, Airfix's US marketing representative said this on Facebook:

"Today is a big day for us at Airfix and specifically satisfying for me since I've been one of the loudest (and likely most annoying) voices in the company pushing for us to make our OWN tooling of a 1/35 tank... and we've made 2. The Cromwell and Centaur will be coming this year and yes.. they're OUR molds!

BTW, I will be attending the AMPS show in Harrisburg this and I will have samples of these I am told. We have decided to be one of the sponsors of the show this year."
