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

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

The Honda CG125 would be an excellent companion piece for that Hunting Fishing figure set. Especially for the Hunter figure with the scabbard on his shoulder.
-
Definitely getting the motorcycle and one if not both of the VWs. Shipment from Spain isn't bad and it's quick. Final cost is about the same as buying from Scale Hobbyist.
