Model Forum / General / Models / January 20082008 Future Release List
Micheal Benolkin at the Cybermodeler Online site is doing a good job of keeping a regularly-updated 2008 kit list going at: http://www.cybermodeler.com/special/2008_releases.shtml It appears that Airfix are, for better or worse, determined to WORK those old molds - they're planning on reissuing some real chestnuts from the 1950's, such as the 1/72 Boulton Paul Defiant and the Gloster Gladiator. More nerve than Dick Tracey, as the old saying goes! Oh, and for those still wrestling with the perennial question, "What is Future floor wax called in my country?", go here for important breaking news: http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/news080112b.shtml John On Jan 14, 5:10 pm, jthmp...@arvotek.net wrote: > Micheal Benolkin at the Cybermodeler Online site is doing a good job > of keeping a regularly-updated 2008 kit list going at:http://www.cybermodeler.com/special/2008_releases.shtml [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > John yeah, that update list is just great. Mike, my wife may want to have a few words with you when she sees all your lists and how many kits I have marked up. :-) and for a Future plug, I have noticed that you can buy a small bottle of it repackaged at Great Models... Not sure if it can ship across the border, but its worth a look.

Regarding this new Dragon USA E-100 kit: http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=DR6011X (which I'm sure Cookie will be reviewing shortly) What exactly did the Germans have in a shoulder-fired Gatling gun in WW II?
