One splash of water later...This is great news! It's always a pleasant surprise when a manufacturer decides to veer away from the "sure sellers".

Well.. I'm delighted to see an R35 in plastic, and I'll almost certainly be buying one or two.
However, I do find the RPM kits to be quite soft in detail and expensive. But the biggest problem is that they tend to have only one decal option in each kit, and they like to make the most of their kits by issuing three or more variants with only very minor differences (or even just different decals) when they probably should have just made one kit with multiple decals and/or options.
It's a shame we aren't back in the days when all kits had a heap of different options to choose from. Airfix did this with their Crusader, T-34 and Lee/Grant kits (different turrets).
Part of the fun was buying the kit and then deciding what you wanted to build out of it later! One set of decal options with no optional parts is a little less fun.
I know why they do it, the same kits in different boxes means more sales to distributors rather than a single kit.
If I started a plastic kit company I'd make sure all my kits had multiple decals, multiple options, duplicate useful parts (such as jerrycans and machineguns) and plastic diorama bases like the old Matchbox kits did.
Still, top marks to them for making R35s. Might need to get myself two of the German turretless version to tow my Revell 21cm Morser.
Hello Francisco,(and other modellers)
Thanks for the compliments for my website. It's me a pleasure to know that the website is a help and guide for other modellers. Long time ago I have setup the site as a hobby )
Today I have updated the next pages: Academy, Ace, RPM, Attack-resin, Kubinka museum and UM.
For the UM page I'm searching for 1:1 scans from the latest new kits um386, um395 and um603. Who can help me?
I'll be getting about 6 of these. I'll probably build them all at the same time too! I'm hoping to make one Israeli to represent the ones Israel had in the 1948 War of Independence. Then there are the 'required' Beute versions of the gun tanks along with that schlepper.
At long last a new injection plastic kit of a major French tank. Who would have ever believed that?
I hope they will make good sells and that it will convince RPM to go on along these lines and release other French and other allied early war vehicles.
A bugler plays actually bugle.
However, on the continent ( France and Belgium at least) "bugler" is generally translated by "trompette" which applies to the guy who plays the instrument as well as to the instrument itself, if I'm not wrong.
