Circloy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Spent today with perhaps the major manufacturer of 'O' gauge (1:43.5) railway kits in the UK and whilst discussing future plans he's said that amongst the kits that he has in the pipeline are warwell's and warflats. Kits are designed using 3D software, nothing new these days, but he's been using it long before the like of Hornby, Airfix etc. The kits are state of the art using full multimedia techniques, pressure injected resin (no bubbles), etched brass, last wax and whitemetal castings. Not cheap but not lacking in detail. So what has this got to do with Britmodeller? He's recognised that these too could be of use to the military modeller and is looking at the possibility of releasing these in both 1:48th and 1:35th - and if these go down well there could be other wagon's (possibly loco's too) in the pipeline. The only downside would be everything he's looking at producing kits for would have been used by UK railways. Any takers? p.s. Bit of a scoop as the news has not yet been made to the model railway fraternity and is posted here with permission.

Shar2 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Kits in 1:35 would be great news, and that looks superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circloy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 CAD for the warwell and warflat are now available online. Again 'O' gauge initially and if there's enough response possibly 1/48.th & 1/35.th https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=918387661615261&id=192967507490617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
