Hobby Boss news for 2012 from their catalogue! CLICKY!

Personally, I'm looking forward to the WZ-10, Delta Force FAV and the Panhard EBR. Really diggin' the Panhard EBR. Awesome left-field choice there. Not giving up my hope for Hobby Boss or Trumpeter to do some 1/35 South African stuff just yet.

I am with you on the EBR...here's hoping the 1/48 Su-27 leads to a Su-32/34.

Looking forward to the Z-10 and Hoplites in 72nd.  Another brave choice in 32nd too with a Black Widow.

I hope their FAV actually makes it unlike Dragon's attempt.

Once again, very happy with their 35th offerings.

About the only chance, I'd say. A conversion set would be fantastically expensive. All you could re-use of any given kit would be the wings and fins.

Must have that EBR 10. Never thought anyone but Heller would make French cold war armor. :D

I've considered buying one of those a few times - I just wish they would hurry up with the other variants such as the 35mm gun or 120mm gunned variants.

Looks like a decent kit at a moderate price and it certainly looks much better than the old Monogram kit.

Looks like a corker of a kit.  Seems like a bumper year for things that we wouldn't have expected in styrene.

Now they have an FL-10 turret, I wonder how long before we see an AMX-13 light tank from Hobbyboss to replace the ancient Heller offering?  Once that happens it opens other possibilities in the AMX-13 family as well.

One wonders if they'll consider the SK-105 Kuraissier.

It'd be interesting but if I was running Hobbyboss, I'd make sure I'd fully exploited the moulding as much as possible - AMX-13/75, AMX-13/90, AMX-13/105, AMX-13 DCA, AMX-13 VTT, AMX-13 Mk61, etc., etc.  THEN, I'd start on the Kuraissier and that would lead into the Steyr APC series...   ;)

While it is not the HobbyBoss kit,  this 1/72nd scale Zvezda Su-50 (T-50) built by Waldemar Pupar does provide you with some images of the box art camouflage scheme at this link on ARC: http://www.arcair.com/Gal12/11601-11700/gal11699-Su-50-Pupar/00.shtm

I have one of these in my stash now...thinking of doing it as a civilian African safari vehicle.
