New WIP From Masterbox – East European Civilians circa WWII

A second set of civilian figures on the way from Masterbox, and just as welcome as the first, especially if it is going to include that goat.

New WIP From Masterbox – West European Civilians circa WWII

A new set of civilian figures on the way from Masterbox, and a long overdue set in plastic kit form as 1/35 civies are thin on the ground in any medium, and almost non-existant in plastic. I’m not sure if this is still going to come with the cow originally shown in earlier WIP shots, or if the cow has been replaced with the two additional male figures - the old man and the boy. Some urban figures would still be nice, especially waiters for a Parisian Cafe, market sellers, women and children etc.

New From Cyber-Hobby ( DML ) Panzerjäger IB mit 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48

Cyber-Hobby follows up their 8.8cm FlaK 37 on a Pz.Kpfw.IV chassis with the little brother version, a Pz.Kpfw.I mounting the gun from a Strumgeschutz III Ausf. G. This one appears to be more accurate than the 8.8cm Pz.Kpfw. IV, though the artwork doesn’t indicate if they’ve incorporated the scrunched suspension seen on photos.

DML Update : Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. F/8 Late with Winterketten Tracks – Built Up Model Photos

DML always manage to make these things look so wantable in these photos. That is one niiiiice looking kit, even if I am predispoded toward liking StuGs of any sort.

                                           

New From Dragon Models Ltd Bigger Better LWS II Prototype Now With Added Barge

Officially a Panzerfahre Fahrendeck mit Genpanzerter Landwasserschlepper Prototype Nr.II ( Kit number 6669 ),  this takes DMLs recently announced LWS II Prototype a step further by adding a pontoon style barge used to transport tanks up to the Pz.Kpfw.IV across water. Note that this one also has a slightly different commander’s cabin. Looks like you’ll need to add the second LWS II to complete the scene. This ugly little sucker is suddenly starting to grow on me.
