NEW FROM FINE MOLDS

1:35 IJA TYPE 95 HA-GO LIGHT

TANK 'MALAYAN CAMPAIGN'

It's hard to believe Fine Molds'

1:35 IJA Type 95 light tank was

originally released twenty-seven

years ago. In this latest iteration,

the kit comes with decals for the

1941-42 campaign in 'British

Malaya' and includes a photo-

etched part for the exhaust

shroud. Other neat touches are

the option to fit the driver and

commander's hatches in the open

position and 7.7mm or 6.5mm

bow/turret machine guns.

ON THE WAY FROM MENG

1:35 WASP FLAMETHROWER JEEP

Firing a flamethrower from a Jeep must

have been a terrifying experience, but

the concept did exist. Meng's kit will

come with full engine detail plus the

fuel and pressure vessels required for

the deadly fire projector.

NEW FROM MINIART

1:35 KMT-9 MINE ROLLER

MiniArt have combined injection-

moulded polystyrene with photo-etched

brass to create a very detailed and

accurate replica of the Soviet-era mine

roller, often seen fitted to the bow

plates of MBTs. Ideal for conversions

and scratchbuilds.

ON THE WAY FROM MINIART

1:35 M3 GRANT MK.I

MiniArt has a new series of M3 Grant and Lee

medium tanks on the way and they come with

full interiors - we can't wait to see them!

NEW FROM REVELL

1:72 GTK BOXER COMMAND POST

Revell issued two versions of the modern German

and Dutch armies' GTK ('Gepanzertes Transport-

Kraftfahrzeug') Boxer AFV prior to this command

post variant: the GTFz A1 (troop transport) and

the FüFz A1-armed fighting-vehicle version. Now

we have the boxy Command Post iteration and as

with the others, it's a nicely detailed kit.

ON THE WAY FROM REVELL

1:35 PANZERHAUBITZE 2000

Revell's kit of this huge, modern

German weapons-system was

first released twenty years

ago but it has stood the test of

time well and its return will be

welcomed by many modern-era

modellers.

NEW FROM RYE FIELD MODEL

1:35 M4A3E8 SHERMAN

It will be interesting to see how RFM's new kit of

the M4A3E8 Sherman compares with the Tamiya

kit of the same subject. Individual-link tracks (with

about a million parts per side) are the most obvious

difference, plus photo-etched brass headlight guards.
