GPM (http://www.gpm.pl/) shows a lot of armor, trains and planes in


development. That B-29A in olive drab is an interesting choice -- most


B-29s were left in bare metal (it's really surprising what the weight and


increased air friction of one layer of paint can do to a plane's fuel


economy). A 1:16 scale Leopard tank, a glider and a Kate with folded wings,


flight deck and torpedo trolley are particularly interesting. (However,


that 2-dimensional Kate crew figure has GOT to go.) ;-)




Halinski (http://www.halinski.com.pl/) says that the F-15C should be


shipping already. Next up is a MiG-29 and a Liberty Ship combined with ORP


Krakowiak. Having built the 1:250 scale waterline Wilhelmshaven Liberty


Ship, I'm not all that sure I'd want to tackle a 1:200 scale full hull


version, but it would be interesting to compare kits. I hope Halinski got


the cargo winches right, unlike Wilhelmshaven.




Big news at JSC (at http://www.jsc.pl/jsc/) seems to be their new 1:400


scale Operation Husky diorama set, with the Batory troopship and landing


craft galore. Take a look in the catalog to find more photos of this set


(#060). All this ship needs is some photoetched railing and LOTS of


photoetched people. ;-) In the meantime, it looks like JSC has also


revamped their original Batory kit in civilian markings (#014), so it's


possible to build two versions of the same ship. An interesting


side-by-side comparison, if you could finish them.
