AMW116
SIMPLE STANDARD
The ubiquity of the Sherman tank during World War Two makes it a popular subject with small-scale armour modellers and wargamers alike, and this 1/72 Forces of Valor kit is ideal for both purposes thanks to its easy construction, large locating pins and pre-coloured Olive Drab styrene.
FOLDED-CANVAS CARRIER
Efforts to standardise the motorised sections of the German Wehrmacht resulted in the Leichter Gelände Einheits Personen-Kraftwagen (Light All-Terrain Personnel Carrier), replicated in 1/35 scale by this ICM offering.
AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT
Here’s a return for Airfix’s 1/76 Landing Craft, Mechanised Mk.III (LCM3) and M4A2 Sherman tank combined offering – a pairing first released in 1966.
GENERAL'S FIELD GUN
Here’s an ideal introduction to model kits and Napoleonic-era history in a single package, with MisterCraft’s re-boxed Směr 1/18 wheeled artillery piece.
LONG-BARRELLED BRIT
The second Sherman kit from Rye Field is effectively a new tooling, as it shares just Runner B with the M4A3E8 offering (5028).
WIRELESS 'ON THE DOUBLE'
ICM has sprung another ‘combo’ product on modellers as part of its Diorama Series, this time focusing on German radio trucks.
CAPTURED RECOVERY
MiniArt’s lovely T-60 returns in the guise of a German captured machine with a field modification to convert it into a pioneer/ recovery vehicle.
ARMED WORKER
ToRo Model’s splendid Silesian Uprising figures are joined by a resin four-piece armed railway company worker, complete with a styrene two-part rifle, courtesy of a collaboration with ICM.
GALLIC AIRMEN
PJ Production has produced the perfect accompaniment for any 1/72 Rafale (regardless of whether it’s a single-seater or twin-stick variant), in the form of a pair of well-cast pilots.
RODENT FORCES
Here’s another chance to depict small-scale ‘Desert Rats’, with the return of Airfix’s 1/76 8th Army under the Vintage Classics banner. It contains 45 figures, plus a pair of two-piece Vickers machine guns and tripods.
