Wow! That's a lot to behold!!! I am really liking the WW2 U.S. Army Sets, in particular the figures in the rain ponchos, which would be a first in plastic. Also digging the IDF tank crew as well. Would really like to see Czech civilians running, throwing rocks & Molotov cocktails, fleeing the Russian troops. Also, some typical Russian civilian cars from this time period which could be modeled as burned out in the conflict. Speaking of which: would the WWII Russian Tanks Riders be appropriate to be riding the SU-122-54 (late type) in Operation Danube? The U.S. Bulldozer --- not sure what model D-6 (??) --- also looks cool! I have a very tough time with their buildings, but have to admit to a growing respect for all of these new releases. Looking forward to picking up their SU-122-54 (late type) when it hits the shelves at my LHS. I've heard that their kits are complex, but I am willing to give them a try. REALLY want to see MiniArt release an NVA Type 63 amphibious tank!!!!!!! With Regards and Aloha, Johnny B

Love that gantry crane set - a step up above Italeri and a smaller, cheaper alternative to the Fries crane for those that want some form of crane dio. All the oil, fuel and jerry cans are welcome as is the road sign set which has smaller, more interesting shapes than the old Italeri and Tamiya ones. (Although I still love them!) The M3s are a bit late for me; I have the Honey, The Tamiya Stuart, The Takom M3 Lee and the M3 recovery but I am sure they will be welcome. The railcars are mildly interesting. The Middle East tank crew is cool....wonder if they would be good for an M113?

Happy to see them releasing another dozer model. Just hope they’ve finally been able to resolve the issues with their very brittle styrene.

Sadly you could be right about the M3 series, but there is box art shown of the Soviet M3's in the grouping to keep hope alive, if only on life support. What car/s are the civilians going to drive or work on? For the desert war, that early gas/water cans set will come in handy.[/quote] My guess is that we'll see the Soviet and the British versions LONG before we see any of the US Army versions. Go figure- The US designs this tank, and we'll get the foreign versions first. Never fails- How many times have we seen "Beutepanzer" kits ahead of ANY of the original US/Allied versions of the same thing..? Oh, and as far as US/Allied subjects are concerned, I'd like to know why it is that when a GI or a Tommy is released in the "Scale Figure World", it seems to take on the form of "Winter 1944" for the GI, and "North Africa" for the Tommy in great preponderance... Just my own observations, so you "WWII SS"-types needn't get your noses out of joint...

is the IDF tank crews compatible to 1973 conflict?
JAN 06, 2019 - 07:06 PM
it is very sad that dragon abandone there 1/34th military figures.

Nope, totally different uniforms and helmets. Miniart's set is better suited for the eighties (figure on the right), but mostly for the nineties until the present day. IDF tank crews around 1973 did wear tighter uniforms, and mostly the US tanker helmet like the one seen in Vietnam. Valkyrie has a set to give you and impression. Below that, IDF hero lieutenant Colonel Avigdor Kahalani with his Centurion crew, commanding 77th Armored Battalion/7th Brigade on the Golan Heights. No doubt, Miniart will eventually also do a 1973 IDF crew, once there are enough good quality kits of AFV's on the market.

Seriously well done small gantry - a great replacement for what we have had all these many years! Need more info on the bulldozer D6 - D7???? Nice safety cage but on what chassis?
JAN 07, 2019 - 04:35 AM
I would not be surprised if it is a variation of one of their kits of military bulldozers. / Robin
