I guess that's as good a name as any for a hulk scrapped on the ways and never actually named.  ;D

Indeed.  I have heard the rumour that Flugzeugträger B (the second Graf Zeppelin class ship) may have been named the "Peter Strasser" but I think it is nothing more than that.  I wonder if the kit will be a what-if duplicate of their also planned Graf Zeppelin or whether it will be real-world (i.e. nothing more than a partial hull ;)).  I don't think there were any changes planned between the two ships to provide a visual difference though who knows, maybe Trumpeter will include some whiff options...

Going by their 1/700 and 1/350 scale aircraft releases though I think we will only see the standard planned airwing:

From a Facebook group.



The 1/72 Nanchang Q-5 is nice Mig-19 derivative. The Tu-128 should also be better kit than the current Amodel release.

I wonder if the KAMAZ 4310 is a reboxing of the ICM "Six wheeled Army Truck" or vice-versa. The ICM boxing doesn't have a KAMAZ logo on the grill.
The Tu-128M should be interesting. The only version available right now is the A-Model kit.

*sigh!*  With all of these, what are the chances of getting a T92 Light Tank?  I've always found it to be an attractive bit of armor.

That would be very nice and in hindsight would likely have been a more useful and successful vehicle than the Sheridan (not to mention it would have made some cool RAAC Whiffs)

It will come, it will come.  Just have patience.  I have plans for the RAAC version when it arrives.  There is/was an AEF resin one IIRC.  Cost a fortune unfortunately, like everything from AEF.

Not aware of a AEF Designs resin one.  There was this 1/48 version from Hawk:

I think Nichimo also did one in 1/48 (saw it a long, long time ago - Engrish on the instructions was amusing) and ITC did one, way, way long ago, in 1/24, motorized with rubber band tracks (actually have one of these obtained for a reasonable price on eBay, just need to replace the tracks with something decent).
