IBG Models, Mirage Hobby, Roden, RPM, and other kits now in stock

We’ve decided to try our hand at some earlywar or prewar armour, partly due to personal interest. This means looking to some of the more obscure manufacturers, so we are now stocking a limited range of kits from Mirage Hobby, RPM and Roden. We’ll see how they go and then decide whether or not to persevere with them.

We also have the IBG Einheitsdeisel trucks and the detail sets for them now available.

We also have a range of vacuum formed 1/35 scale buildings from T.M. Diorama, including some nice looking barn and shed ones, as well as decal and detail sets from AM-Works which we’ll have up for sale as soon as I’ve finished sorting through them.

IBG Einheitsdiesel Kfz. 61 Telephone Truck Interior Update

As mentioned in an early post about the current availability of the IBG Models Einheitsdiesel Kfz. 61 Fernsprechbetriebskraftwagen here is a look at the forthcoming interior which is indeed resin with a bit of photo-etch and laser cut wood thrown in.

This one definitely goes on my must have list.

New From IBG Models

First seen at the 2010 Nuremburg Toy Fair these new trucks from IBG Models are now on the shelves ( though as far as I know not yet here in NZ ) – The Einheitsdiesel Kfz. 61 Fernsprechbetriebskraftwagen ( Heavy Telephone Exchange Van ) and Einheitsdiesel Pritschenwagen. Both 1/35 scale plastic kits from this Polish manufacurer better known for their 1/72 scale British trucks. There is also an interior in the pipeline for the Fernsprechbetriebskraftwagen but that appears from first reports to be a resin upgrade kit ( we’ll update once we know for certain ).

Initial reviews are good and we plan to get our hands on them so we’ll also add our own review once we do.

It’s certainly nice to see some new and interesting 1/35 trucks in plastic.
