Now all we need do is sit back and wait for the cries of "why waste resources on a type that was never produced when modellers are screaming out for (insert)" !😂😂. Personally,I love these " out of the box" (no pun intended) subjects. It takes imagination and, I suspect a little courage to commit to such a subject. Modelsvit has certainly not lacked imagination!

A Moonbat I say. Make a good companion for the Flying Flapjack. I'd like one but have been told Combat Models vac-forms are 'a challenge'.

 

Has anybody else noticed that they've been buying lots more from the smaller manufacturers and fewer mainstream offerings? Great days!
