New updates from Bronco & Vision Models

Rubin at Bronco Models has sent in some updates regarding some previously announced products along with some new 1/35 scale items from Bronco and Vision Models.  First up, the new stuff.

Bronco kit #AB3558, WW II US Light Weapon and Equipment Set


Next up, from Vision Models is kit #VA9004, W.W.II Italian 20L Jerry Can & 200L Fuel Drum Set.
No price or release date has been set for either kit.

Four previously announced kits have received updated information posters with new details.  First up is Bronco kit #CB35109, Russian Heavy Self-Propelled Gun SU-152(KV-14).  It is now noted as being a "September 1943 Production" variant as opposed to a "Late Production" model.

The next update is for Bronco kit #CB35114, German 88mm L71 Flak 41 Anti-Aircraft Gun w/Sd.Ah.202 Trailer.  Now, the trailer parts are provided by Dragon Model Ltd (DML) in a move similar to the DML U.S. Tankers being included in the M24 Chaffee kit, #CB35069.


Bronco kit #CB35136, M1114 Up-Armored Vehicle w/XM153 CROWS II now has an updated poster showing CAD drawings of the kit details.


Rounding things off is updated artwork for Bronco kit #CB35072, M24 Chaffee (Post-War Version) Service in Asian Army Force.  This poster now has markings shown for the Taiwanese M24.  The previous incarnation of this poster had no markings for the Taiwanese tank.


No release dates or prices have been provided for any of the above kits.  Thanks again to Rubin at Bronco Models for the update.

New figure sets from Riich.Models

Rubin at Riich.Models was nice enough to send me pics of two of their upcoming 1/35 scale figure sets.  First off is kit #RV35020 "Livestock Set Vol.2".


As you can see, the set includes two cows, a horse and two birds.  I don't recall Riich.Models releasing Vol.1 of the Livestock Set.  Can anyone else comment?

The other set looks pretty cool, #RV35014, "East Meets West: Elbe River 1945".  This set includes four figures, 2 American and 2 Russian.





 No word on price or availability on either kit.  Thanks to Rubin at Riich.Models for the update.
