Thanks Paul. It seems to be in their die-cast pre-assembled Dragon Wings range, which is a slight shame considering the possibilities for injection moulded Apollo and Soyuz kits in 1/72.

Must say that this years Shizuoka was a bit of a disappointment. From the japanese manufacturers the only kit that I know that I will buy, the Zuikaku. And this one isn't really something new, but more of an update on their Shokaku. Probably I will buy the Hasegawa Gambier Bay as well.

Nothing new in 1/48 armour.

Almost nothing new in 1/48 aircraft. As with the Zuikaku, the new Tamiya Zero doesn't really count, since it's more of an update on the late Zero moulds.

If it wasn't for the chinese manufacturers, I would have been starting to believe in the talk about declining interest in the hobby.

Don't worry the Rumourmonger isn't asleep at the keyboard, just I have not seen anything new for a couple of days now....

Along with the the Pak FA and TSR.2 Platz are doing a Typhoon FGR.4. Surprised they' re doing it as the Revell one is just out and is supposed to be great. http://kampfgruppe144.blogspot.com/2010/05...nned-items.html
