Q4/18 & Q1/19 New Releases - New Unboxing Video 190212
« on: November 20, 2018, 06:51:00 pm »
With all Q3/18 releases completed, we are already working on our Q4/18 and Q1/19 releases.

Our initial plan was to give you all a truck-load of X'mas items, but freight schedule is very tight and the booking fees are super-expensive!  We are now going to split the releases into two lots, a small release before year-end and the remaining items right after the New Year.

You might ask what is coming?  Stay tuned to this post for more info...

;)

Intrigued to see what is coming! I'm hoping the resin "upgrade" tracks for the Tiger etc are still on the way, as don't think we've had any news on them for a while?

The tracks are now on the production queue.  We had spent an extra amount of time to resolve some production and engineering issues as to how the tracks should be produced, thus the long delay!

Good guesses johan, but with the clues and history of previous RM posts, I would have to say these are for the:
kubelwagen (German Light Vehicles #2)
Panzer III (German Tanks #3)
SdKfz 7 (German Half Tracks #1) - seen in the Flak 36/37 post.
Kettenkrad (German Light Vehicles #1)

Yes, Tracks, but the panzer IV is almost ready to be released while the pz III is still in it's planning status

Not too many items for Q4/18 to save extra-expensive holiday seasons shipping cost...  Q1/19 is going to be a lot of releases!
We probably will include some extra blisters release for Q4/18 too!







Enjoy!

Did you (RM) make changes to the model? Is the cover art created from different drawings? Or was it made using the same 3D diagrams used to make the model kit?

I ask because the cover art just does not look right. It looks different, like the demensions are off. Also the tires look smaller on the cover art. Maybe its the smaller tires that is causing an optical illusion.

Am I the only one seeing this?
Okay, it might just be me, but there are a few physical differences between the upper and lower pictures. For example, see the fenders? Note how they set higher on the side in lower picture. Overall, the lower picture looks more "correct".

@Tracks - They are two different 3D models. The rendering is from an off-the-shelf 3d model that we used for box art only.  So don't worry!
