Chinese Stuff

I came across this link at a "China Defense" blog I follow:

... Anyone recognize things that are already available as consumer products? There's no mention of scale, but these kind of trade-show models do tend to be big. Maybe ....

display models

Post by supersonicfifi » Mon Jun 28, 2010 2:09 am

Thoses are some display & unique models for exhibition & professional uses ( EUROSATORY is one of the biggest armament exhibition in Europe destined to professionnals & governement)

This kind of models are made of heavy plastic by small companies and can amount for thousands of dollars !!!!!

some are unique !

I've got the same problem when i go to "LE BOURGET" airshow ( all the aviation companies are here and use some fantsatics models but i saw once a Su 27 at the sukhoi booth and the guy told me it costed 10 000 US $ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


so it's not in our range !

Nice models, but way out of reach for me :?
We still need more new 1/18 aircraft!

those are incredible. someone really needs to start making these in 1:18. particularly the BMP look-alike.
Best,

I saw that tank at Little Creek and asked one of the guys working on it, what it was and he blew me off with "it's classified" so I went home and googled it and found a surprising amount of info for such a classified project...what a duche.
