Title: Pit-Road
Post by: ChernayaAkula on May 19, 2014, 01:36:16 PM

According to Kampfrgruppe144 (LINK (http://kampfgruppe144.blogspot.de/2014/05/1144-handley-page-victor-by-pit-road.html)), Pit-Road (LINK (http://pitroad.s232.xrea.com/newitem/index.php?itemid=2546)) will follow their 1/144 TSR.2 and Vulcan with another another classic British jet - the Handley Page Victor!  :icon_beer:

The TSR.2 and Vulcan were also released by Great Wall Hobby, so I guess the Victor will eventually be available from them as well.

Really looking forward to scale-o-rama one of these into a 1/72 fighter, as imagined by JoseFern: LINK (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1701.msg23373#msg23373)

Tempted to try to mount one of these onto a IJA tank hull

I think it's a bit too big to mount in a pickup bed, at least in 1/35 - 1/32, but scalorama'd to a 1/25 pickup bed might be just the thing for dealing with road rage.

I'm just wondering when they're going to start marketing the 1/35 scale ships for these weapons to be mounted on. ???

Way too big, but 1/48 on the other hand........

I was thinking of mounting on something like a 1/35 Fine Molds/Tamiya Type 5 Chi-Ri hull.

Well, well, the Crossley is of some interest.

Isn't that a re-release? I think both are. The Crossley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Crossley_Armoured_Car) has an interesting history.

Yes, I believe both are re-boxes.
