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 Ju-52/3m by IXO/Altaya

She is back! "Iron Anne", "Tante Ju".... Junkers-52/3m

IXO/ ALtaya have re-issued the Ju52/3m in a new paint scheme

The ribs / corrugation is likely to be painted effect, as per the previous issue

This paint schemes mirrors closely the following Wings Pallete schema, therefore is likely to be a aircraft of GrpzbV.500 (later II./TG4) based in Russia 1942 (so should it be silver or white?)

1/144 Bombers Arrive in UK
====================
.
Sold arround the world these 1/144 models have now been released into the UK & ROI Market.
.
These kits are being sold on a subsciption basis by Deagostini one of the world largest perveyors of subscription based "collections".
.
In continetial mainland europe these aircraft are sold under the Atlaya branding (an DeAgostini Company).
.
In the USA they appear to be available at some hobby stores under the IXO branding.
It appears that IXO models are produced in China, and therefore DeAgostini probably have the European or "rest of world (outside USA)" distribution rights?
.
Interestingly the IXO webstore now will sell its Cars on a global basis...., but no sight of the aircraft yet...
.
One or two things for you to note regarding the DeAgostini subscription model, it is not like Atlas Editions where you can choose to return any item you no not like. I personally prefer the IXO models to the Atlas Editions (obviously both will replace damaged items - that said, i once returned an ATLAS Editions lancaster twice as the tailplanes had been fitted the wrong wayaround, they then took offence and i cancelled my subscription! )

Available: Now
Price 9.99GBP (by subscription)
