Model Forum / General / Models / January 2006Alanger kits
Our Frecnh suppliers have just taken on Alanger. By the look of some of these they are Frog recycled - again! Does anyone know anything about this make?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >SBX Model Shop >http://www.sbxmodelshop.co.uk Spoke too soon. The web site I was using to see the range dropped me into eastern express instead - Sorry about that. Alanger seem to make a range of tanks and 1/48 scale aircraft. Does anyone have any experience of them. Should we be stocking them? David Pennington SBX Model Shop http://www.sbxmodelshop.co.uk In the US Alanger carries the old ICM 1/48th kits. Good prices although the service is sometimes spotty. I believe they used to "mass market" on e-bay. I believe the armor may be Maquette (sp).

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > SBX Model Shop > http://www.sbxmodelshop.co.uk Last year or so it was mentioned in this group that Alanger of Massachusetts had purchased all the Frog molds from Eastern Express or whoever owned them. Do they actually own the molds or are they importing the finished kits from EE?

Alnger in the US seems to be a reseller of eastern Express. I am just about to post some box shots on alt.binaries.models.scale. Have a look there and see if any of these look familiar.

They don't seem to have the whole Eastern Express line, for example the 1/72 Yaks which are reboxed Dakoplast kits (and pretty decent). If you're interested in Eastern Express and other Russian kits, Aviapress.com also has a bunch: http://www.aviapress.com/index.html Pip Moss PST does 1/72 scale injection molded miltary vehicles. Three German, on American and a bunch of Russian. Most unusual are their Russian miltary fire trucks. Tom The Alanger 1/35th scale armor and figure kits are reboxed ICM kits acquired after ICM appeared to have gone under, and are quite decent products, certainly as good or better than Zvezda. Now that ICM has resurrected itself with its new Panther tank kits and figure line, it isn't clear which company will have the older molds. Don't know about their aircraft.
