That is a sexy biatch. If sexy came with a prop and wings.

Not quite in store yet..but soon enough THIS month

btw, Diecast isn't my normal source, they tend to be the fastest to post new HM(by 5 or so days) and a few bucks more than mine..although if you look at their price for the Horch 108a..30.00$ that's a typo(that's the S1 price(the flak set), this one should be 22.95ish)

All the HK sellers I've PM/Emailed in the last day reported back these will be In Stock on 10.26

Hmm... Should't R03 have brown splotches? I remember seeing it that way somewhere...

[Panzer_M]

depends on the source. but none of the photos I found of 35.Pz Rgt Regimental Light Panzer platoon(R01-R05) seem to be all grey and without brown.

Same goes for Norway. Pz Abt zbv.40 had some all grey panzers and some with camo. Same goes for the Summer of 1940..looks to be a mixed bag.

Poland, 1937???????

[Panzer_M]

yea that was a good goof with HM..esp since the Panzer II ausf.C didn't start rolling off the factory lines until 1938. lol

Plonked down the mula for the Dambusters Skyraider

Wasn't really keen on Skyraiders but after looking at this scheme in the flesh could not resist it

She's really strikingly good looking

Am afraid gonna have to get a SEA scheme now to round off the collection, gave all the earlier releases a miss... rats

My wife gave me very dirty looks when I came home with 8 HM planes

Only 8.

HM Skyraider is another great "new"release from this company. They just keep putting out hits in their aircraft line.

Gouchy, the SEA schemes on this Skyraider are both great. Can't go wrong with either one. And their USN versions are very nice too. I have "Mig Killer", and give it a big thumbs up.

Limiting myself to two Skyraiders, at least for now. So much other HM, and CW stuff coming. But that Dambusters one does look great.

Also Tamiya thought the the R0X platoon of the 35.Panzer Regiment were solid grey..which is where HM got their scheme from as the HM tank is identical to the Tamiya..


Note the upcoming 6.Pz is a bit different from the 4.Pz(lack of a tow cable on the bow plate for one)..although the left side cross, should be broken with 1/2 on the hull and 1/2 on the cradle for the radio mast, not behind it(speaking of the 6.Pz/11.Pz Rgt/4.Kp/1.zug Panzer II(the number is actually correct for that tank..1-3 companies were only Pz 35(t) and the 4th only Pz IIs). Although the Division symbol for the 6.Pz needs to be added to the tank.

Actually I just realized HM copied Tamiya 1940 Pz II C also.

HM sucks nuts really sometime for being so damn lazy.

[Panzer_M]

note the big differance among the 39 and 40 Pz II C, the front bow plate, early models had a rounded plate while the later models had a flat plate along with added armour to driver's plate and front of the turret.

Looks like HM got the flat bow on the 1940, but I am not sure on the 1939 til I get mine in hand. I would be nice to see they got both models correct..but from the Cromwell's sharing the early hull...well I don't have my hopes too high.
