Interesting. That Sherman isn’t half bad. And that’s saying something considering how difficult it is to get that hull shape right.

Wow I saw that JU88 this morning, but the others I´ve not seen before!
Are there some better pictures of the german vehicles in the last post?

Wow, it looks like we will get the first "official" release of a "Karl" mortar ("Karl-Gerät") model, which you can apparently build out of all four "4in1" sets.
Btw, that Sd.Kfz 251 model will be hard to get through German customs, due to the included swastika, which is of course strictly forbidden in Germany.

Thanks for the Pictures caracho! The sawastika did not catch my eye until you mentioned it! If this is also shown on the instructions, this is indeed a problem for import to Germany!

I can not find the Sdkfz: 251 at Aliexpress yet! So the packaging may be redesigned.

Sd.Kfz 251 now available on AliExpress (at HeiFon Toy Store)
I just ordered it (for just 14 bucks) ... let's test if I will be put in a German jail for purchasing this ...

For some reason Sembo's "Ju-88" made it in light speed to my doorstep, so I assembled that plane immediately. Quality is OK'ish, not the same as Cobi, XingBao or Oxford, but still OK:
No clutch problems at all No missing parts No damaged parts Some small scratchmarks (More than usually to be found on the bricks of the above mentioned other brands) On bricks with larger flat areas you can see a bit of color variation (and the above mentioned scratchmarks) The finished model turned out to be quite large. The overall design is not totally bad, but the canopy looks a bit odd, maybe too "bubbly". Besides the rotating propellors, retractable landing gear and a bomb bay door, the plane has another major "play feature": The wing flaps can be adjusted by turning the black gear on the bright yellow axle on top of the fuselage. I wonder if this Sembo Block set is mainly intended to be a children's toy with "play features", or, due to it's resemblance to the Ju-88, should rather attract adult builders/collectors? To me it looks too real for a children's toy but not real enough to be a collector's item. As you can see from my picture, I haven't attached the stickers yet. Maybe they will give the plane a more real look? Anyway, the assembly was fun and the result looks quite impressive in size ... and it did cost me less than 20 bucks, so I guess it's OK. Let's see how the other Sembo Block sets will turn out (if they make it through customs that is ...)
