New Company RochM Model Accessories

[Mike]

We've been in contact with new company RochM, who are new to us, with research and design based in Italy, and manufacture in China. The currently specialise in Photo-Etch (PE) aftermarket parts for armour in 1:35, 1:48 and 1:72, although they have a small and growing range of resin accessories, and are working on their first plastic kit, which is to be a a Swiss Panzer 68, which I'll admit to having to look up!

Quality of the etch is exceptional and the presentation is decidedly high end, as you'll see from the pictures below, and they pride themselves on the service you will receive when dealing with them.

Below are some example instruction pages, which show how comprehensive the sets will be.

Here are a few more photos of the actual frets themselves, and you can see how nicely done they have are. Check out the detail on the padlocks and the under-over look of the engine deck mesh of the Tiger.

We'll be bringing more news when we have it, such as UK distributors and so forth. Watch this space -> <- meantime you can visit their site here.

Nice stuff,Mike,but I hope they will not go down the "Tiger" path,it's like the spitfire of armour, yet a panther would be good or even an elephant

Never mind all that German rubbish ... !

RochM has been working on that Pz.68 for something like two years. If you can chisel any information out of them about, say, a release date or a price, you'd make at least one modeller very happy.

Say what you like about it, but German armour sells despite your own personal lack of interest, and if they think they can bring something extra to the party, and make a little money into the bargain, I wish them well
