Here are results from my usual trip to Nuremberg. Most of news were know before so no news lists mentioned in my report. I just want to show you some photos and catalogue scans with brief comments. Most info are official but some are just rumours (marked *). I did not find all info I would need from some producers/distributors so some images are simply without comments.
ACADEMY, Korea
No Oshkosh mentioned on stand as well as in catalogue.
ACE, Ukraine
AIRFIX, UK Small stand with nothing special.
CMK, CZ
Two "???" items shown in newsletter so we maybe
get some other beasts.
DOC, Italy
Late but done finally.
DRAGON, China
New catalogue shows all unreleased news from last year
plus 3 shown items and one that is secret.
The first but last two figure sets are included.
EDUARD, CZ
Nothing special show the stand but I had chance to
speak to PE designer. So I have proposed some simpler "zoom" sets to be made
as well as something universal.
Also window masks for some kits could be welcome on
market. Now we can wait if my tips bring some results but I'm
not much optimistic.
EMHAR, UK
HASEGAWA, Japan Usual stand with nothing new for us.
HOBBY BOSS, China
IBG, Poland
Definitely the biggest surprise of the fair. The first two variants should be available in several weeks, other variants will come later.
The sample sprues I got are excellent and
the prices in shops should also favourable.
* The next project should be something Polish and then
something German is also in plan.
ICM, Ukraine
IMEX, USA
ITALERI, Italy
Nothing else except nice case full of sceneries shown.
MAC, CZ
MIG, Spain
Should be also something for railway.
MINIART, Ukraine
MIRAGE HOBBY, Poland Unfortunately I did not find their stand digged in unusual hall 11. * I was told that it shows no news for us.
MPM, CZ
PEGASUS Hobbies, USA
New Gladiators, Russian Naval Infantry, German artillery and KV-1S and ISU-152 double kits should appear on market very soon. The IS-2 double kit and finally also M26 and M46 should appear later this year too. Interesting solution is used in Naval Infantry and in German Artillery sets. Most of parts are made of soft plastic but some fine parts are made of had plastic (weapons etc.). Another sets stay in progress but some Russians and maybe also French WW2 infntry could be finished to be available later this year too. New project is "US Truck" and some US figures sets.
PREISER, Germany
R2, Germany
Interesting line of vacuformed diorama buildings, in offer T&T soon.
PST, Belarus
* Almost all range should be available again but not sure
under which brand.
REVELL, Germany
RODEN, Ukraine I did not found their small stand unfortunately. * Probably only Opel 4x4 should be released this year. The rest of announced news will come later.
TRUMPETER, China
Usual stand, nothing for us shown.
ZVEZDA, Russia
And it is roughly all. Post in this forum in our forum if some questions or comments.
