Lenticular Re-Entry Vehicle [LRV] (1962)
Lenticular Re-Entry Vehicle [LRV]

 

Fantastic Plastics has a new kit out, the Lenticular Re-Entry Vehicle [LRV] from 1962

It's a 22 piece resin kit, in 1:72 scale.

In the early 1960s, the U.S. Air Force purportedly began development of this modified flying saucer-like airframe for use as a spaceborne nuclear weapons platform. 

The kit looks flash free and right on the money, nice and crisp.

New Law Enforcement Decal Company
New Municipal and Police Decal Sheets for Cars and Trucks

 

There's a new Sheriff in town with decals, and that name is GovCars.us.

They started on eBay, but now have a new online store, with their full line up.

While most of the products are geared towards die cast, including 1:24 examples, that won't stop modelers from using them on all sorts of projects. Even a 1:18 scale decal can be used on a 1:25 scale heavy truck or trailer, so there are a lot of possibilities for builders.

Special thanks to Adam over at MTM for the heads up on this new company.

New Resin Model Company

I want to mention a new model company, Flashpoint Motorsports, who are now producing resin body / kits. They specialize in 1:25 and 1:16 scale drag racing offerings. They look like clean castings, in white resin. They are priced very reasonably also.

Hollywood Jim's "Steampunk '49 Merc"
Hollywood Jim's Steampunk 1949 Mercury Model Car Creation

 

Few have mastered the incredible work or scratch building on a model kit like Hollywood Jim. His models tell a story, taking your eyes on a candy trip that will have you staring at every nook and cranny for hours.

His latest adventure build, a Steampunk 1949 AMT Mercury, tells a masterful aged story all by itself.

Every detail has been massaged and tailored to create a model that defies anything you might have seen before. It's one of a kind, like all his builds.

You've seen his Tiki Bus, his 1948 Surf Woody, his Big Timber, and now we present:
