Just got these:

Bedford QL + 6 ponder :





Panhard EBR75:




I like the Bedford, but not really that interested in it.....

The Bedford excites me, but the paint scheme looks toyish. Does the 6pdr's trail split so you can deploy it?

Although I totally repaint mine, a simple wash and dry brush on these will improve their apperance a lot. As for the 6 ponder it is not "glued" to the Bedford but it can't be set on a deployed position.

I hate that about this line. The pak 40 that comes with the RSO is the same way. There are some other guns out as well that I presume are permanently in the travel position. So far, I haven't bought any of them because of it.

[graycap]

A Katyusha rocket launcher is the next release. They intend releasing sometime in the future 25pdr with tractor and limber.

The katuysha is out in France. The next release is a Challenger II. Future releases will include an Israel "Super" Sherman and a Swedish S-tank.

That Panhard looks pretty sweet. I might have to pick one up.

Have to pass on the Bedford & 6pdr though. Looks a bit toyish to me.

[graycap]

Thanks for the full listing. Everything down to the CharB is available on Ebay. The Vulcan is a very nice model as is the M41 Walker Bulldog.

[fsrpcunha]

Two new models:

M163A1 "Vulcan"





I really like this one. I will change at least one for an IDF version


Sd. Kfz. 124 "Wespe"




This is also nice, but I have no use for it.... It will probably end in ebay.

Cunha

[Heer]

I might buy the sWS + 3.7cm Flak 43 from IXO, if it looks good.

[aferguson]

i saw the atalya katyusha......what's up with the paint job? Looks like it belongs on the serengeti...

[fsrpcunha]

And after a long time here is an update:





















These are quite nice. A wash and some scratches and they are perfect. And next month I will be able to put them to sale here

I love the B1 Bis.

We need more French tanks!

Regarding the comments on details/paintwork, lets be fair these models have no way near the same price tag as Dragon/Hobby Master..

Totally agree with you. But at €11 these cost half the price of Dragon/Hobby Master. The painting quality is half too

Altaya also has a Automitrailleuse Panhard 178 in this collection

The two more releases:






This one is a nice addition to the Char B ....

I really like the two French WW2 models (the Char B and the Panhard 178). Particularly impressed by the stencilling on the wheels of the Panhard!
Comparison to on-line pix of the Panhard indicates that this model is a good representation; certainly the only one available of this important French vehicle.
The Char B seems to have a markedly better scale turret than the plastic Easy Model version (which I found in a Melbourne model shop a few months ago), and looks 'crisp' overall.
Colonial counterparts may be interested to know that the Altaya 'Combat Tanks' magazine line is now available here in New Zealand; now up to the (dire) Grant variant.

Altaya's Panzer range has finished. The last one in the series was aSdkfz 251 towing a PAK 40 75mm. (Both of which Altaya had done before).

The latest releases in the current "Blindes de Combat" are:

Marder MICV Bundeswehr
Warrior MICV
PzKw V aus G Command tank - with extra radio aerials
Stryker Mobile Gun System

[fsrpcunha]

Huge update. Some probably you have already seen, but here it goes:

Special subscription item:
M4 High Speed tractor





SPz Marder 1 A2




M20 Armored Utility Car





MCV-80 Warrior




Pz.Bef.Wg. V Panther Ausf. G





M1128 Stryker Mobile Gun System





CMP Ford Quad Gun Tractor + 25 Pdr. Field Gun



I have to say that I’m impressed with the quality of the latest Altaya models. Not excellent, tracks are a problem but otherwise very good models.

i wish the USA releases would come out faster

[EnemyAce]

So who is handling USA releases? Can someone give me a live link for ordering Altaya stuff (store, not ebay)?

Thanks!

Altaya models are sold on news stands, so they are not available in stores, but old collections tend to appear in some shops. These two european shops have them:

An update on a previously published release schedule. Following no 30: M551 Sheridan the proposed running order is as follows:

31: ISU 152 4th Guards Tank Army 1944

32: Swedish S-Tank Strv 103C

33: M7 Priest 1942 1st (US?) Armoured Divsion

34: SU-122 1945 1443rd SP Artillery Regiment

35: M12 155mm GMC

36: LRDG Chevrolet truck

37: M3 Lee

38: T-62

39: M42 "Duster"

40: Camionetta AS 42 Sahariana

41: CVRT Scorpion (UK)

42: M-46 Patton

43: Leichete Zugkraftwagen 3t Sd.Kfz.11

44: M548 A1 Tracked Carrier

45: VAB 4 x 4

46: PT-76B

47: M36 Jackson

48: AMX 13/75

49: Type 97 Chi-Ha (Japan)

50: AVGP Couger (six-wheeled Canada LAV)

I think there may well be even more in the pipeleine (I've seen pictures of a Marder II, Sherman Firefly and a Bundeswehr Dingo that have been released by a Polish part-work on armoured vehicles). However, I would not be surprised if the above release order changes over time. Still, some interesting models in prospect, however, but amazingly nothing from World War I or the inter-war period.

[cjg476]

what scale are these?

[fsrpcunha]

These are 1/72
The Portuguese list of 60 models has some small deviation from yours, but that is normal since the collection change from country to country. Only the last 5 are not identified but I do hope one of them is an M5A1.
