There seem to be quite a few other reissues. I'm still researching. 

The set comprises rectangular headlights and a decal sheet:

 

 

 

The '007' was a limited edition 2CV to commemorate the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only":

 

 

In the film, 007 (Roger Moore) uses a yellow 2CV (of course without 007 decals) as a getaway car.

 

As seen on the Nürnberg toy show:

 

 

Release is temptatively scheduled for May 2013.

Looks like Tamiya and Ebbro are now cooperating. The founder of Ebbro is a former Tamiya employee.

Ebbro and Tamiya have previously cooperated in the development of various 1:20 scale F1 Grand Prix model kits.

 

While you are waiting for new releases from the US you can appreciate what the Ukrainians tool up in the meantime.

 

They announced to release 1/24 kits of two of the kits they already offer in 1/35 scale.

 

The Mercedes G4:

 

 

And a pre-war Opel Admiral Cabriolet:

 

 

 

If they continue to release more of their 1/35 offerings in 1/24 scale, we might be in for some real treats, like:

 

Opel Olympia:

 

 

1936 Packard Twelve:

 

 

1939 Opel Kapitän:

 

 

Mercedes 770K:

 

 

Mercedes 320:

 

 

and a plethora of German, American and Russian WWII trucks and Soviet Cold War Trucks.

Mind you, those kits already exist in 1/35 scale! I previously moaned about it here on this forum and said I wish they would make them in 1/24.

I then wrote to the manufacturer and suggested to release those in 1/24 as well.

Apparently someone is finally listening to me.

 

Now what about some 1/24 scale airplanes? A Heinkel 219, a Polikarpov I-16....

 

Sigh...

Came across it while surfing for something entirely different.










There is a display base in form of a model of a steam organ, and the Mercury is used to power it:







Has anyone seen this before, or knows who the builder is?
