Under the shadow of COVID-19, manufacturing and shipping of goods had been a problematic issue for small businesses like ours. We had been working diligently to get our ongoing projects completed for releases.
As you all recalled, spearhead shipment for our last release was eight kits (2020 Wave 2) right after Christmas last year followed by a general release in February due to issues with shipping.
Despite all these problems, we have finally organised a production run for ELVEN new plastic kits (2021 Wave 1) just as we speak, and hopefully, the spearhead shipment will be available via our dealer channels and on our webstores. The normal availability will be in late July.
In the meantime, please support us by buying more kits for your collection! Enjoy your hobby and stay safe.

Eye candy for now... we are waiting for the forwarder to pick up our 2021 Wave 1 Spearhead shipment.
The shipment will include 11 new plastic kits, 4 new resin kits, and a good number of restocking items. However, we are still waiting for a confirmed flight booking.

I am having a very hard time waiting in anticipation of the arrival of the two Centurions models here in the States. One of my all time favorites. I have already stained and prepared the bases they will be mounted on, as part of my Korea collection.
Is there any anticipated time frame for the release of the M48 and M113? I ask because I have a Veteran's Day show coming up in November and would dearly love to include in that show the 48 and 113 ACAV marked for the 11th (Blackhorse) Armored Cavalry Regiment.

This is the beauty I have been waiting for. It has been a long wait, but the end is nearly in sight.
Sadly, my local store cannot get Rubicon Models stuff anymore. As a result, the shipping costs (for me) are higher than the cost of the model kits. So it just makes sense to make one big order than multiple small ones. All I have to do now is wait for the Panzer II to get released. I waited this long for the SdKfz.10, I can wait a bit longer.

Got home from my holiday today to find a big box of models had been delivered. I've only had time to look at the sprues (children and Welsh mountains can tire a man) but I'm hugely impressed.
The Cents look quite involved, lots of parts, the Tilly is tiny and looks easy to assemble. The detail on all looks crisp.
I'm most amazed by the Dingo. I was expecting a solid lump of resin. I got something that looks a lot like a plastic kit, lots of parts to assemble, great detail and sharp, well defined lines and angles. Resin has moved on from the janky garage kits I remember.
So now I HAVE to buy the Bedfords.. Sigh.
