Well we are impressed – the penny has finally dropped and
someone is making the DFS glider to go along with German Paratroops – about time
someone realized the crossover potential! – ohh and if you like a Topolino and
some British infantry correspondents then they are the two other exciting new
kits just announced by bronco today…
The German Paratroopers of Operation Eich ( German of “oak”)
was the raid on Gran Sasso by Otto Szkorzeny and his special forces troops to
re-capture Mussolini from his prison in the Italian alps.
This kit has been begging to be made for such a long time – the crossover between aircraft and Infantry modellers has long been obvious to me at least – it will be a great big aircraft and hopefully full of detail as well – this one will be a winner.
CB35156 - DAK “Topolino” (German/Italian) Light Staff car with crew and IF8 Infantry Cart – 1/35th scale
The Afrika Korps (or even the Italian version) of the Fiat
500 Topolino has to be as an interesting release as the recent Fiat Simca 5
which was very popular with modellers not for it’s large size but rather it’s diminutive
stature.
By adding the IF8 Infantry Cart to this staff car the second
layer of interest is added and this can be weathered up to be a requisitioned “infantry
support vehicle” I can imagine it now full of stuff!!! Crew are included as
well so this looks to be a great set.
CB35140 - WW2 British and Commonwealth War Correspondent set – 1/35th
scale
Well those people after more British stuff will love this
set – we have six figures of war reporters and photographers here in a variety
of get ups including a tanker and a paratroop reporter. A great set in a much
left out genre and service
We will give you more pictures as they arrive. Till then enjoy your weekend..
