Michael Shackleton has forwarded information on the first two products in a line of conversion/accessory sets being marketed by his new brand, Scorpion Miniature Models.

Scorpion Miniature Models is an online shop selling very special conversion kits and accessories for 1/35 military models. Currently they are focusing on Cold-War British subjects.

Their first two products have been created by Hong Kong Creation Workshop.
Scorpion Miniature Models are their distributors for Europe, Africa and the Americas. This new venture is brought to you in co-operation with Leopard Club.

From Hong Kong Creation Workshop, the first two sets are:

HKCK3503 is a conversion set is to back-date the CVR(T), FV101 Scorpion or Scimitar (AF35S02 or AF35013) from the respective AFV Club kit, to their very early stage of service. This includes the wading screen, the front mudguard and, most importantly, the early-pattern bolted forward engine deck.

This set also includes the early the three-barrel smoke dischargers, early suspension/idlers/sprockets, and many others.

This conversion set is in response to many modellers who have sought to build the original Scorpion when it first entered service – or at the very early stages of its service life. This is a straight-forward conversion, with the exception of the early pattern forward engine deck (replacement) as only the forward panel is provided. The most important thinking behind this is the fact that a larger piece of resin (a complete replacement hull top) might warp, and also the cost of the conversion was an important consideration.

HKCW 3501 is a decal sheet to supplement the one provided in the AFV Club kit (AF35S02) to provide markings for Scorpions stationed in Hong Kong in the 1970s. This is particularly suitable for use on CK3503 mentioned above.
