Hobby Master "Seeks, Strikes and Destroys" in 2013

As a new year dawns, rumor has it that Hobby Master will be building a 1:72 scale rendition of the US M36 Jackson tank destroyer. The new tooling (#HG5401) will portray a vehicle that saw action towards the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Other new products were also announced in the waning moments of 2012, including a 1:72 scale examination of a Douglas A-20G light attack bomber (#HA4201).

In the larger, 1:48 scale regime, collectors can look forward to Francis “Gabby” Gabreski’s Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX fighter, which was attached to No. 315 Squadron in the ETO. For those of you unfamiliar with this Polish American pilot, he was the top scoring US ace in the ETO, scoring over 34 kills during his tenure (#HA8304). Gabreski first served with the RAF, then transferred to the USAAF in February 1943.

War Master Wages War in January

Originally slated for November, it now appears as if the latest batch of War Master diecast military vehicles and aircraft are penciled in for a January ship. Several intriguing offerings are among the mix, including this US M1128 Stryker Mobile Gun System (#WMTK021).

Also up for scrutiny is this Italian Macchi C.202 fighter, an oft-requested item now that they are no longer available from the IXO Models range (#WMAPF0019).
