After Tuesday’s minor ‘leaving all the orders at the workshop’ FUBAR<\/a>, we’re back to normal, Friday 13th<\/sup> notwithstanding ! Everything has been safely retrieved and sent – although you may detect a faint whiff of burning when you open your parcel, it seems that someone lit a large bonfire in the farmyard opposite the workshop and the smell has permeated everything !<\/p>\n

Onto more mundane matters, and this week’s new releases. One of the forces in our 6mm range<\/a> that has never really been properly represented in 15mm (apart from a couple of odd tanks) is the American Republic. As you’ll have seen on this blog<\/a> recently, we’ve got round to rectifying this at last with seven brand new vehicles and variants.<\/p>\n

The largest is a new sculpt of the Curtiss heavy tank<\/a>. This was the very first digitally sculpted model that we released and since then we’ve learnt a lot about the design and production processes, so we thought it was time to give the Curtiss a makeover. This new model has a newly-designed metal turret and gun, rather than the resin one of the original, and improved detailing on the hull.<\/p>\n

\"KochteCurtissRelease\"<\/p>\n

The slightly smaller cousin of the Curtiss is the Kochte MBT<\/a>. This again was previously available in 15mm, but we’ve replaced the original with a new 3D sculpt – the overall profile of the tank is the same but the detailing is completely different.<\/p>\n

The AmRep’s standard infantry fighting vehicle is the Baumann<\/a>. This carries two crew and six infantry, and is equipped with a light autocannon and missile pod. Infantry dismount through a rear ramp and can engage the enemy through the firing ports on each side. Also available are an AA variant with gatling and missiles, and a heavy anti-tank-missile carrier.<\/p>\n

\"BaumannRelease\"<\/p>\n

Finally, the smallest of the new vehicles is the Oldmann light tank<\/a>. This is a two-man recce vehicle with a light autocannon – heavier fire support is available from a missile carrier with the same 16-round turret as the Baumann.<\/p>\n

\"OldmannRelease\"<\/p>\n

All are available singly, and the Curtiss, Kochte and Oldmann are also available in discounted Platoon Packs of three vehicles, stowage and crew.<\/p>\n

If you’re outside the EU, remember that you don’t need to pay VAT – so the price you pay is only 5\/6ths<\/sup> of that shown above, which should go some way towards offsetting the postage costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
