Not sure about the Nichimo one but I just learnt that Tamiya did one (which is actually the same kit at the Hawk one) in either 1/50 or 1/55:

Sigh...if only they were in 1/35.

More details here

wow! I love it!

jcf · « **Reply #302 on:** February 05, 2017, 02:10:21 PM »

Note that a rear idler was installed on the second prototype
during the tests and likely would gave been on a production
machine.

New one:

Meh!

This on the other hand is interesting:

Well, the missile is, the rest is just tubes on tracks.

Anybody want to buy it and give me the missiles?, you can keep the rest.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #306 on:** February 16, 2017, 02:08:44 AM »

The missiles are the main thing for me too...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #307 on:** March 14, 2017, 02:53:18 AM »

Something different that may be of interest to some here: 1/35 M915 Tractor with M872 Flatbed trailer & 40FT Container:

LemonJello · « **Reply #308 on:** March 14, 2017, 07:57:48 AM »

Drop down sides on the 40ft ISO to reveal a pair (or two pairs) of surface-to-surface or anti-ship missiles...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #309 on:** March 15, 2017, 02:15:45 AM »

I'm thinking one of these might find a use wit the above:

Coming soon: 1/48 DKM U-Boat Type VIIC U-552

So, how do you get this box into her house and store it without her finding it? And then build it without her finding out about it?

Is it disturbing that this excites me?

KiwiZac · « **Reply #315 on:** March 31, 2017, 03:28:36 AM »

What's disturbing is the thought of you adding more than one to The Stash!

Oh good God!

Is that Liam Neeson?

KiwiZac · « **Reply #318 on:** March 31, 2017, 11:17:50 AM »

No, but I'm sure Greg will be adopting Liam's role from Taken in order to get that kit. "I don't know who you are, or where your stash is, but I will find it..."

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #319 on:** April 01, 2017, 02:44:17 AM »

The kit is already available. Some stats:

48 figures included
L: 1398.3mm, W: 136.9mm
Total parts: 1100+

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #320 on:** April 01, 2017, 02:45:46 AM »

I am surprised they don't include a copy of "Das Boot" on DVD or similar media in the box. One would think it would be almost obligatory...

Do it up right and also include the filmstrips of the capture of the U-505? The original of which is still part of the Chicago Museum of Industry (we have Spitfire and Stuka models hanging from the ceiling, they have real ones, along with the Travelair Mystery Racer and a number of other significant aircraft). *chuckle* Of course, it is only "coincidental" that Chicago is also the hometown of Admiral Daniel V. Gallery whose task force captured the submarine. If you can find copies, his written works, both non-fiction and fiction are good reads (much of the fiction is highly humorous, though he as at least one solid and serious novel, too).

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #322 on:** April 02, 2017, 02:26:52 AM »

Something a little different:

1/35 BTM-3 High-Speed Trench Digging Vehicle:

Could almost imagine one in the hands of a farmer or even a local council for laying pipes or similar.

Set aside a couple of days, there's a lot there.
