Looks like Cobi found a way to also "recycle" their "Battle of Berlin" magazine dioramas now, as the content of the set above (besides the 2cm Flak 30) is from the "Battle of Berlin" issue No. 11:  |

Of course, the Błyskawica is the first full-size warship.  So, where's the full catalog? That's exactly the point! I am a little disappointed that the ship is so small. 1:48 or at least 1:72, as the torpedo boats would have been nicer. |

I'm afraid that the Bismarck will be a flop.

I built the tks, oh well, already planned the modifies.
The same spitfire in two sets (just different stickers) is a bad joke.
The churcill I knew was for world of tanks, that turret is present just in that videogame, however, always a "fat" design.
About the destroyer, I'm sure it will have the wheels XD.

Finally found all those pictures NiHo posted
Strange, because on the cobi.eu website there is a 2017/3 US catalogue with only that new white Panther.....
.... And all the other pics are in the 2017/2 catalogue!?!
Strange that 2017/2 has more news than the 2017/3 catalogue
I was going through that 2017/3 some three times to find those pics!!!!
Cobi is updating older catalogues secretly, or they just updated the wrong one?

Strange, because on the cobi.eu website there is a 2017/3 US catalogue with only that new white Panther..... (squints) Oh yeah...that IS white on that Panther. I just thought it was a terrible render with washed-out gray coloring. That's really great news actually! I've been dying for them to do some tanks in white. Panther is a good start, but I really want a white T-34 and/or Sherman. Although, I need another T-34 like I need a hole in the head. |

Although, I need another T-34 like I need a hole in the head. You need another T-34? No problem, in their new catalogue Cobi has just announced a re-release of the 2476 "T34/85 M 1944", now with the brand new "Historical Collection" logo on the box! Oh, and the previous 2476 release was already a re-release of the "Battle of Berlin" issues 2-5. So in order to get a complete collection, you need to buy the exact same T34 three times now :-( But on the new box artwork for the above mentioned 2476 "T34/85 M 1944 Historical Collection" set, you can see an ISU-152 in the background, so we will probably get this tank type in the near future.  I should probably release pics of my ISU-152 MOC as soon as possible now, so that nobody can say I copied ideas from Cobi :-) I swear I finished my MOC just a few days ago, before I spotted it on the new T34 box artwork (I put on custom stickers on that MOC yesterday) |

I just realized that the ISU-152 was already on the previous box artwork, and it's not "brick built" yet ... at least not by Cobi ;-)  |

All three planes with little barrack sets are on Cobi's site now, here a better pic...  Indeed some new stickers and that it.....indeed a lot of recycling going on Found that catalogue on the Polish site! Thought it was the 2017/2 version, had almost the same cover! ( has the same content as the 2017/2 version on Cobi's eu site) Btw,(off topic) liked your vintage c64 artwork "El"Caracho, great stuff! ..and indeed lots of metal band of the eighties performed live with the original line up lately because of popular demand... I saw them all live back in the days and also some years later... But never saw my favorite though, the Swiss band Hellhammer/ Celtic Frost :-( |

Did some research on whiteWashed Panthers, guess this is the one cobi is duplicating; Panther D R01, PzDiv GrossDeutsclanf, Kursk 1943 (On pic last one below)  ... But with this effect ( this is the first tank in the pic above)  Cobi is only brown but i think that those Kursk Panthers all had triple camo below the whitewash (see pic below)  I think cobi was inspired by this pic, were only brown is visible  I am not a real expert on Russian Wehrmacht campaigns, so my first thought when j saw that new white Panther that it should be white with dark grey instead of brown, because most Tiger I ( early ones, also from '43 ) with whitewash were dark grey I can't find a single pic of a dark grey early Panther though |

Hmmmmmm...... My mistake
Kursk Zitadelle Battle was in July offcourse...
Stupid, i have some 1/6 Lssah infantry in spring camo from the Kursk campaign (including Peiper in his spring plain tree m41 cap and spring palm tree jacket), i could have known
So no whiteWashes there!
...so it has to represent a different tank from a different campaign for sure

Well, it seems that the first Panthers ( which are ausf. D's ) were first operational and tested at the '43 Kursk campaign.... This was summer 1943
Ausf D was produced untill september 43' so technically to find a whitewashed ausf D is almost impossible, or it could be they used older models later in winter'43 campaigns, but i don't really think so
In August '43 came the ausf A which replaced the ausf D ( which didn't prove himself in Kursk)
So bottom line; ausf D in whitewash isn't a good choice, correct me if i'm wrong

... But a nice ausf G like this one below looks fantastic offcourse!! Only replacing some of those brown tiles for green and tan for a triple camo underlayment   There are also a lot of whitewashed ausf A pics to be found too in very different ways |
