Thank you Frank! I agree about Squadron being a last resort. Many of my other sources like Lots Of Models and Burbank’s House of Hobbies are pretty hit and miss on Eastern European brands.

Lots of Models and Burbank House of Hobbies are otherwise pretty good. I visited Burbank House of Hobbies when it was owned by the previous owner... who was in his 90s. He had long OOP kits that had probably been sitting on his shelves for decades. He had updated the prices, though. The current store is small, but their prices are surprisingly good.

What you go for this time?

We looked at the S3 before deciding on the M140i

I recall reading somewhere that by the end of WWI Australia had one of the most highly motorised armies in the world, all of the vehicles were left in Europe and the middle east, as where almost all the horses and heavy equipment.  The worst thing was that Australia was left with the bill for all of the stuff they left behind and reverted to basically a pre-war infantry / cavalry, citizen army structure.

If Australia would only have harnessed the power of the mighty Emu, it would have been nearly unstoppable...

They're coming out with a 1/35 Laffly V15T. Obviously a French vehicle...


Plus it looks like they're rescaling their 1/24 Model T 1914 fire trucks to 1/35 - plus a field toilet!
