Title: Thunder Models
Post by: Mossie on November 30, 2017, 02:31:11 AM
Seem to be concentrating on WWII support vehicles.  So far there are several variants of the Case VAI tractor, Hetzer Bergepanzer and Scammel Pioneer, a BR80 steam train and with an Indian 741B motorbike in the pipeline.

I'd love the Indian in 1/12.

Someone used to do some Indian's in 1/12, I remember building an older version for the guy next door who had his own 1/1 version.  He'd made some serious money as an engineer on the Humber Bridge.  This was his wife's birthday present to him, he had a few pre-war bikes, lucky sod.  I  remember he couldn't resist a very quick unhelmeted test run, checking first to make sure there were no coppers about!

A British 7.2 Inch Howitzer has been added, something for the Scammel to pull.

Ah, cheers Mossie  :thumbsup:

I built a couple of resin 1/72 WWI British heavy guns for a mate's birthday a couple of years ago and they were enjoyable builds. Worth looking into  :thumbsup:

Apologies Chris forgot to mention the scale.   :banghead:  These kits are all 1/35.

Not a problem. A sensible scale for artillery pieces
