I went to Edinburgh yesterday and picked up the two new releases from HM in 1.72 scale.
All is well.....they're still cast in metal ! Heavy and dangerous-looking , the second KV ll M41, Kalinin Front, Jan., 1942, is in a washed-out green with an even more washed-out application of winter white-wash which gives it the appearance of a mad, bad lime-green lethiavan.

I like it !
The only thing which I keep moaning about is the lack of weathering to the tracks and lower body. Try just a light dusting of brick dust or mud, HM Guys...you'll get a better-looking model, and your Rep.s will fly with the kudos !
( Oh ! the other thing....there is a second ! ....is that the prices have gone up. Oh well, dearer metal = dearer metal tanks ! )
The Cromwell Mk Vl A27M, Western Europe, 1945 is a very nice representation of the vehicle. The camo paint job is very nicely sprayed.....but the finish is a bit too 'glossy' for my taste. I think that this tank has never even been out the Dealer's Showroom !

......................again, the price is up, up, up !
