1/144 Vickers Windsor and Boeing B-17 B/C/D - Anigrand

1/144 Vickers Windsor and Boeing B-17 B/C/D - Anigrand

The Vickers Windsor is an interesting technological development resulting in a number of prototypes being produced, but ultimately upgrades to the Lancaster proved more cost effective. Nice subject and hopefully will have some interesting bonuses - Vickers Type 432,Martin Baker MB 5? A Vickers Victory would make a good future Anigrand 'Huge Bird' release!

The Boeing B-17B/C/D is a strange choice, will this be a 3 in 1 series, or just the one with parts for 3 options? If the latter, then this is going to be a small kit and maybe some more impressive bonuses?

Well, it would appear that S&M Models had recently issued their Vickers Windsor.

However, there are the two recurring problems with S&M
   i) their name and the internet don't mix well,
   ii) they don't appear to have a website (and if they do its impossible to find due to issue (1))

1/144 WWII Bomber Range - ODIN-IST Models

1/144 WWII Bomber Range - ODIN-IST Models
Due for release starting in Feburary 2012 there is a new issue of some old favorites to come your way by  new company called IST launching their ODIN Range. The curious thing about this release is that they are using the IXO/Altays moulds for their aircraft, the painted livery schemes will be different to the previous IXO/Altaya range.  The price is a lot higher than the IXO so it will be interesting to see what the paint and build quality of these items will be!?

1/144 Dragon Warbirds 2010 - 2011

Dragon have announced thier line-up of the 2010-2011 season 'Warbirds' series. These are 'pre-built' display items, so although no kits should still be off interest.
I suppose we can live in hope some of these could become future kits? (ok, so the F-117A we have seen before by Dragon)
