Posted on 19 December 2013 at 10:22:53 GMT My newsagent tells me that a new magazine comes out in UK on Saturday 28th of December that includes a diecast 1/72 tank. The magazine (name unknown) is an English version of a Polish publication from a company called Amercom.
The Polish version had the following tanks with its first 3 issues :- M48 Patton, Tiger II, Sherman 105. |

Posted on 19 December 2013 at 10:33:43 GMT Ooooh, Sherman 105mm you say...
I have no need for any of those, but, if one falls into the shopping basket I might just have to... |

Posted on 19 December 2013 at 11:02:13 GMT S&S produce a 75mm Sherman mantlet designed to convert the Altaya kit but may be of use here. |

Posted on 19 December 2013 at 12:26:03 GMT If it was at front of magazine prices and ready to go, I might be tempted. Otherwise... |

Posted on 19 December 2013 at 20:53:18 GMT Mark, you could be right. Been looking at back issues on the Amercom site and as far as I can remember of the deAgostini mag, they look like the same models. Not sure if they are the same paint jobs, but they could be. |

Posted on 05 January 2014 at 22:00:45 GMT In similar news there's a "Great Airplanes" mag in the newsagents alongside the vehicle one - first issue £2, with a 1/144th Lancaster.
Good one for those using BKC for Goodwood, maybe?! |

May pick up some of the aircraft ones as I use 1/144 with 15mm ground forces. |

Damn, I have a Lancaster already for this very purpose. Will keep an eye out for future issues though. |

Posted on 06 January 2014 at 21:52:55 GMT Well, if you subscribe to the "Bomber Harris landscape garden and urban renewal" approach then you can never have enough Lancasters  |

Posted on 07 January 2014 at 11:20:31 GMT Might make an interesting objective marker as a crashed Lancaster  |

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 16:10:49 GMT Today I put an ink wash on a Warrior MCV from the magazine and it turned out quite nicely. A quick drybrush will probably bring out the details even better.
Very similar in proportions to the Warrior I bought from Britannia Miniatures. The gun barrel is a bit flimsy, but overall it is good for £2.99 |

Posted on 08 January 2014 at 19:26:20 GMT I see some of these Warriors are for sale on eBay from a seller in Poland, but at a much higher price. |
