Lawrence Goh, of Echelon Fine Details has just sent us details of some VERY impressive NEW releases along with a 'sneak-peek' at some equally FUTURE releases...

The second part of the set is dedicated to Australian ASLAVs serving in Iraq (Operation Catalyst 2003). One belonging to 2nd Cavalry Regiment (with the red Roos), the other belonging to 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry).

T35022 - Humvees in OIF & OEF (US$14.50) - A simple title for an incredibly detailed sheet. Markings for SIX complete vehicles out of FOURTEEN options. The set includes stencilling for the humvees / M1114 (black AND green). Markings for Iraqi Army (post 2003 with3-tone camoflage ) and generic tire pressure markings.

1/35th Scale Figure Decals

P353002 - US Army Patches, Insignias & Ranks (Part 2) US$12.50

Suitable for 1/35 figures of Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom theater of operations, and Vietnam war as well. Featuring US Army patches, insignias and ranks, in subdued and desert colors. Also inclusive is a colorful flag patches sheet. The ranks and random names (different from other sets) are included. This set also comes complete with MP armbands (or brassards) as well as the fine inscriptions in arabic (suitable for OIF/OEF). You can either use just the MP letters on your own self-made brassards or use the decal form and of course, you'll need to crop them to fit. The MP lettering styles in this set differs from the other set(s).

P353003 - US Army Patches, Insignias & Ranks (Part3) US$12.50

Suitable for 1/35 figures of Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom theater of operations, and Vietnam war was well.

Finally, in the NEW Releases is:

D356005 - PT BOAT Generic Hull Numbers (US$9.50)

Much research has been put into this set on the proper stylings of the numbers used by the ELCO 80' boats. Evidently, there were two very obvious styles of numbers ever used by the 80 footers. The all-white, unshadowed version, and the white with black shadows type, both reflected in this set. There were other kinds, but probably the more obscure types.
This set help corrects the kit decal inaccuracies in Italeri's fabulous Elco 80' kit. Not only the positions of the "shadows" in on the decals was inaccurate, the corners of the "shadows" were also wrong.

FINALLY, the FUTURE Releases:

4.PD Panzer IV and II Ls:

Sherman IIs and IIIs in the desert:

Fearsome European Cats
