New Kit Releases: July 09, 2024 

I appreciate you taking the time to watch

Thanks. Unfortunately not much news from manufacturers to share. Very slow…

@@RWHobbies Oh, Yes… I see what you mean. Thanks for the update. Cool Dave. 😎

N gauge, which is roughly 10mm or 1/160.

Wouldn’t be a month of new releases without one (or two)

Which model?

@@RWHobbies the Kirov airship. Is that the only model that’s out there based off the game?

@@arandomfawn5289 I have no idea. But may be someone else will respond.

@@arandomfawn5289 There is the 1:35 Border Model Apocalipse Tank also there is 3d printable Mammoth tank and others out there.

There is a grizzly tank and an apocalyse tank as well

He doesn't do any of that at all. Design is all done by Takom, instructions are done by Takom. His idea for the kit as he is the one paying the bills, but everything else is done by Takom

@@allandaniell7055 I see it as a commercial partnership. Takom creates the kit. He puts on his branding and promotes on his RU-vid channel to generate sales and interest.

@@viper29ca Watch his videos for the Sherman in 1/16. He explains the whole process. His mate at Das Werk said you can do this to after the Stug111 kit. Watch them all on the Sherman then tell me he does fuck all. Give the man some credit for doing great things for the hobby at least.

@@allandaniell7055 Never said he does fuck all. But outside of choosing the subject, approving the test shots, and marketing the kit, it is all Takom. He isn't designing the kit, or the instructions at all. If he was doing any of that, then why would he say "oh the instructions aren't made yet, so I have to build the test shot from scratch. If he was designing the instructions, he would at least have the master copy to go by, while building the test shot. Where does Das Werk come into this? He has no say on what Andy does. Das Werk is just the model kit arm of MBK Germany, they do the same thing, they choose the subject, approve test shots, etc, etc, and the company they are working with designs the kits and decals. He doesn't tell Andy what he can and can't do. I am sure they collaborate on what they want to do, so as to not duplicate things, but one doesn't control the other. No, Andy just puts for the money, chooses the subject, and approves the test shot(s). That's not nothing, but it's also not what you are crediting them for. Andy's HHQ kits, are no different than Border Models, or Ryefield models, both of which also do the same, and contract Takom to make their kits for them.

You’re welcome
