Traditionally a seller of paints and accessories or at most a reseller of other's kits, it seems AK is going to release some of their own kits starting with some 1/35 Toyota FJ43 Land Cruisers:

Some real world inspiration perhaps:

For some reason I picture one with either a RBS70 or Mistral MANPADS mounted in the rear:

Of course one can't post these models without this:

Well, if they are*, that's going to save me a lot of work on my Italeri BJ44! :D
[*: I can't find anything about them on their site, though. ???]

Old LandCruiser? In plastic? 8) *excited-giggling*
Looks like they also re-boxed the Dragon Sd.Kfz. 234 Puma. AIUI, these were going for top dollar lately. 60 EUR isn't exactly cheap either, but I think I paid upwards of 50 EUR for the first release a dozen or so years ago. (Hint to AK: Re-box the M16 GMC next! ;))

Cool camo!
The footrests for the bed are a neat idea.

I wonder if its the old Mig Productions FJ?

My idiot brain: Let's suggest another halftrack!
My idiot brain (a little more cautious): Let's google that first.
Nice!

Night Shift on Youtube has just done a build & paint of it. He has a very artistic style that I am gradually coming around to liking.

I thought that AEF Designs offered a resin 1:35th scale L-33 in resin many years ago.

You ever done any ILS?
If so I could probably get you a job tomorrow.

Are we talking Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Integrated Logistic Support (ILS)? ???
Either way, I've done neither, I'm afraid. :icon_crap:

I notice that this kit;

Is set to expand into the following over the next year-or-so;

The Revell offering is a simple re-box of the ICM kit, while the AK kits include some resin & 3D printed options & extras.

Yussuf (with the Kalashnikov) isn't going to be on the back for much longer if he doesn't get a hand-hold on something, which could turn their Disneyland trip into a hospital trip! :o
