Copper State Models plans for 2021 and 2022 (partly)

Like we wrote yesterday here are our plans for 2021 and 2022 (partly)

First of all Krupp-Schuman model 1899 w/57mm was a 1st April check, not a joke but only an idea, and it may be soon you will be able to see how this joke made it into a real plastic one. It should be out in about 9 months or so.

Anyway, first we need to release Russo-Balt Armoured car, this one we mentioned and it is on its way.

We are planning to release several 1/32 models and those would be Caudron G.III and the next one Bristol Scout (an important machine). Sopwith Baby is on the bench but will be out in 2022 and not in 2021

Probably between them, we will roll out 1/35 Lancia 1ZM 1930s-40s

And we have decided to try 1/72 scale and the first one to hit the market will be Lancia 1ZM, which should be ready no later than SEP 2021

The next big nation in 1/35 will be France, with its first Renault 1914 Armoured car

About Garford Armoured Monster (Truck), last year we received a full set of factory drawings, and this event forced us to redesign the 3d model that we finished already into a new accurate Garford Putilov Armoured car, all works should be finished by the end of 2021

In the meantime we are working on another beast, a rather big (for us) Erhard Armoured truck, this is a rather interested and important project, one of the most known WWI German Armoured cars that should be done in plastic for sure

Here is a sums-up with the kit numbers

1/72 72002 – Coming Soon

 

Some changes were made to the upcoming sheet 72-002, specifically to VA-34: AB-510 was substituted out and replaced with similar looking AB-513. As it turns out, 510 wasn’t one of the aircraft specifically involved in the actual Libya strikes, but AB-513 was part of the Benghazi strikes, so I figured it better to represent one that was directly involved. Also added a second VA-34 option – AB-502, another one from the same strike as 513. 502 had slightly different TPS markings compared to 513 (and 510). Updated image of the revised sheet and new cover have been added to the photo album.

New sheet 72-002…. finally releasing the long ago planned 1/72 release of the “Intruders’ Sandbox” that was previously released about 5yrs ago in 1/32 and 1/48. This 1/72 sheet includes all three A-6 squadrons involved in Operations Prairie Fire & El Dorado Canyon (Libya 1986) as well as two squadrons from Operation Desert Storm (1991). Extra checkers are also included if/when Hobby Boss/Trumpeter release a new mold 1/72 A-6 kit (Fujimi rudders are smaller than the Hobby Boss/Trumpeter rudders). Decals for ejection seats, helmets, fuel tank markings, formation lights, and tailhook stripes are all provided, as well as CBU-59 APAM lightning bolts for the Libya Strike aircraft and many special Libya/Khadafy related slogan markings for VA-55 Mk.82 bombs.
