Landships II

More WW1-Era 1/72 models are coming!

Firstly, the old and trusted company of MGM have issued more interesting kits. Among them a Austro-Hungarian Field Kitchen M.15 (including a friendly looking cook with a bit of a belly), and a 3.7cm Anti-Balloon-gun, mounted on a Horse-drawn carriage (it looks really exotic, ancient even). Also, their kit of the Austro-Hungarian 38cm M.16 Mörser will be issued in February, in time for Trucks n’Tracks in the UK.

Secondly, a company that is new, at least to me, Bull Models (in Northfleet, Kent, UK) have issued two very interesting kits, that show GREAT promise. Kit BM05 is a 76.2mm Putilov 02/30 including a Limber. And kit BM06 is the Soviet T18 (MS1) Tank, an old favourite of mine, including two very well-sculpted crewmen: portrayed in the kit is the early variant, without radio bustle. (A kit of the later variant is being prepared.)

It looks strange this, because recently AER Molodova has issued two kits of the 76.2mm Putilov and the T-18. But they are NOT the same. And the kits of Bull Models are quite superior, in detailing and overall quality. All these kits can be had through Blitzkrieg Models (see the Suppliers Page here on Landships).

Stay tuned for reviews of these very interesting kits! Oh, we WW1 Military Modellers never had it so good! You will not hear me complaining over the lack of kits ever again!
