They are also supposed to be doing B-52's and a B-1as well in 1/72.  Hobbylinc had those as April and May releases.  First I've heard of a B-1 by them.  They have been armor people up to now.

there web site shows a 1/72 B-2 as well.  They are a little expensive,   $100 to $149  I think.

I've been hearing about Modelcollect, but I haven't seen much yet. Mostly Armor so far. Looks like good stuff.

I wouldn't mind adding a B1-B to my stash. I've got an old Minicraft B1-A in the stash that I'll build eventually, but it's got the all white paint scheme. I'm not a big fan of all white aircraft lol.

I need a Lancer!

If and when they get their B-52H and B-1B out, I'm definitely picking up one of each. To paraphrase Admiral Farragut; "Damn the price tag, full speed ahead!"

I think i saw somthing about a B-2 as well. But then a few days ago i saw that 5 new resin AM sets are to be released for the Revellgram kit which i think will correct the errors.

Their armor is 1/72 stuff. Mostly current Russian with late Soviet Cold War and Paper Panzers thrown in.

Thanks Stik. Well, there are several resin AM sets coming out finally to correct issues with the Revell kit, i think i'll use those instead.

These guts will also be releaseing a new B-2, sound slike they are going big.

That it does. Duke Maddog here has built a few of their modern Russian AFVs I am pretty sure. And the ones I've seen are very well detailed.
