Dear Customers and Friends,
just a hint on our shop changes! We established a new category in the shop called
Figures 1/16
Reason for this is the increasing number off items in this category. So don't be puzzled, when looking for figures!

Dear Customers and Friends,
while summer is having a break there is no pausing in news at all!
Today we been informed on the new 1/16 scale kit by AHHQ will be the M113 A1 /A1 ACAV and it will come on October 31th, 2024. This
kit was waited for since decades by RC-modellers as well as display
modellers too. It is one of the most produced armored vehicles
ever and often talked of as a tank, although you can shoot through
it with an AK47! It is the most converted military vehicle ever and in
use by many Armys around the world. Therfore its a mystery why it took
so long the make a kit in 1/16 scale.
Many RC-Modellers scratch
built this vehicle from what ever available parts since years because
there was no kit. So finally the first step is taken and the display
kit will come.
The Kit is by now pre orderable until July 31st, 2024 for the pre-order price of 113.00 Euro (shipping excluded) in our shop and will be relased on 31. October 2024! After that it will be available for the regular price of 129.00Euro.
| | Kit comes with parts for both options | Comes with interior (exept Engine) and open/closed hatches | | | With commanders hatch armor, Pe-and metal parts.
| Workable tracks and moveable suspention and wheels.
| | | And again a Commander at the M2 MG | See my making off of the 3D-printed RC-Modell,which was converted from the A3 back to the A1 Version of the 1970s. Just click on the pic! | | | This kit simply doubles the total costs of the M8 model! | For all who want is easy and fast. |
AHHQ already announced there will be more stuff and figures available soon for the M113. This kit is a display model only and not ready fo RC conversion!
Allready
available are figures sets and accessories by Jason Studio in resin
cast parts. Both are not for cheap to get and double the costs of the
model easy!

Dear Customers and Friends,
the next big tank is coming by end of the week and it completes the Sherman set available by now in 1/16 scale. This one is from I Love Kit and the M4A1 Middle Tank,
which was the first to come to Europe with the Invasion. Now most
Versions of these tank type are available and most subtypes can be
built by use of their parts. The show commanders figure is not included, but we offer one in our shop. So have a look.
| M4A1 Middle Tank, US Army, WWII 1/16 Plastik Kit.
The M4 A1 tank is the beginning of the M4 Family and was out dated when it strated its service already.
Poor armor, poor gun, low speed, no chance to survive.
The Germans nicknamed it "Tommykocher" or "Zippo" because of its intention to burst into flames after the first hit!
Only its numbers were a problem for the German Wehrmacht!
In general the M4 concept was a good one, mostly because it could be driven by anyone able to drive a car!
No long education needed!
But it needed an upgrade fast and so the M4 started its family.
Parts: 1400
Length: 365 mm
Width: 168 mm

I
had had a terrible weekend last weekend, because I had to stay on my
balcony with a injured right foot, unable to walk more then some steps,
while there was the "Gelnhausen Flugplatzkerb", a local Air Show, going on with a bunch of Veteran Aircraft including the PBY-5A "Miss Pick Up" from the Catalina Society in England and a P-51D as well as a F-4U Corsair, both local heros.
"Miss Pick Up"
I knew from her last appiereance in 2019 and it is always a pleasure to
see her fly. This year I was not able to visit her on the air field,
but she came by on a "Hand Shake" close to my balcony!
Thanks a lot for that close shave guys! Next time come in and have a Tea or Coffee, whatever you prefer!
I won't say it was a near miss, but a chance for detailed pictures to take! Just to explain, this is about 200m above NN on a loop to land and my house is in 180m NN and directly on the path the took! This is not a Tele shot, as to see in the pictures in our Walk Around Gallery/Aircraft Veterans soon. I am shure the Pilot saw my thumb up sign while he passed me by.

Dear Customers and Friends,
80th
D-Day Aniversary is a big date in our calendar and many Companies
relase new items in relation to this Milestone in History. So modellers are inspired a lot by this date there is a lot to build with all the new kits coming.
This Saturday the new Das Werk kit
| Sd.Kfz. 234 Puma German Army WWII
1/16 Plastic Kit.
two different suspension options Wheels movable Hatches can be built open or closed PE-Parts included Metal gun barrel 4 Marking options Comes with commanders figure!
Manufacturer: Das Werk Item-No.: 16DW006
In stock!
| will arrive.
This
kit is new in many ways, First its the second wheely to come and it was
involved in the Normandy battles too. Its American opponent the M8
Greyhound ist available since some weeks too. Both make a greate set on
a diorama and the M8 was captured by Germans often, so the can stand
aside.
The so called "Puma" was available only as an expensive
RC-Model before, but no it is avalable as a high detail plastic kit for
a resonable price. Besides that it includes also a own Commanders
figure which is also included in the M8 Greyhound. This gives life to
the model.
