ON THE WAY FROM TAMIYA
1:16 PANZERKAMPFWAGEN IV AUSF.J SD.KFZ.161/2 SINGLE MOTOR
The Pz.IV Ausf.J was originally released by Tamiya as a full-option radio controlled model, and now the
model returns, but in the form of a static display version, albeit with a single electric motor to propel it
forwards and backwards in a single direction.

ON THE WAY FROM DRAGON
1:35 PANZERJÄGER IB
Dragon have mated their lovely little Pz.I with the
StuK40 L/48 to form this odd-looking but deadly
hybrid tank-killer. Interesting..

ON THE WAY FROM ZEVZDA
1:35 TIGER WITH KORNET ANTI-TANK MISSILE
The Tiger anti-tank vehicle is based on the GAZ Tiger, but with different body, interior and armament. Decals
are supplied for Russian Army 'Patriot Park 2017'. The kit consists of 236 parts. Also on way is a newly
tooled 1:72 Jagdpanther (Hunting Panther). The kit consists of ninety-two parts and glueless assembly. Decals
are provided for various German army units (model shown by Chris Wauchop/Brett Green)
Also on the way is the
'The Iskander' (NATO
Code SS-26 Stone) in
1:72, and the mighty
Soviet JS-3 Heavy Tank in
the cute 1:100 series.

ON THE WAY FROM MINIART
1:35 T-55 MOD.1963 WITH INTERIOR
MiniArt's already well-established 1:35 T-55 will
now come in the form of the 1963 Model and
with interior detailing. Expect a lot of parts in the
box! Also on the way from this manufacturer is a
1:35 SU-122 final production (with interior), 1:35
Bundeswehr tank crew (x5 figures) and a set of five
WW2 German tank crewmen in winter clothing.

ON THE WAY FROM TAKOM
1:35 M3 LEE LATE-PRODUCTION
You can see the kit preview of the early-production M3 Lee
on pages 60/61 this issue, and this kit has been followed
by the more common late-production variant. High levels of
detail throughout. Also on
the way from Takom, but in
1:16, is the Japanese Type
94 tankette.
