Armour Book Review

Win an Airfix Bae Nimrod!

 

In co-operation with Martlesham Models we are very pleased to announce that the second Europeanmodeller giveaway will be the recently released Spectacular 1:72 Airfix Bae Nimrod courtesy of Terry at Martlesham Models.

The kit will be drawn at the end of March and given to one of the active registered members of the Europeanmodeller website. By active I mean anyone with 20 or more posts.

 

As a late addition to the Give-away Robin Carpenter of Cammett has kindly added a copy of the forthcoming AEW 3 Conversion for the Airfix Nimrod to the draw.

That makes this draw worth nearly £70.00!! (€90.00!!)

Not bad considering it costs nothing to enter!

This release took me by surprise recently as I hadn't been expecting it, but I take a thorough look at the Su-76 in 1:35th from Mini Art, and find that it is a very pleasant surprise indeed!     

1:35th Armour Kit Review 

 

Kagero are producing some pretty spectacular and very useful books regardless of what type of modelling you are into, and I take a look at a recent armour related release here: Topshots 38, a thorough examination of the Su-76 Self Propelled gun from WWII.  

 

It may have been a couple of weeks late, and taken me a couple of days to get the review done, but it was worth every minute of the wait. I take a good look at the new Montex Hawker Fury, with images of all of the parts. Some lucky Europeanmodeller is going to win this kit...

It may be the 3rd title in the Kagero Topcolours series, but it is the 2nd one I take a look at and it is every bit as good as the first!
