Blitz Kit's 1/35 scale Bernard tank carrier kit is to be re-issued on a limited production run. Available as pre-order, with shipping to commence by July 2023.
Already ordered, I snoozed the first time around …
Hoping for a re-issue of the flat bed truck.
Blitz has the habit of doing production runs and then taking the model out of production.
Now they have ventured into 3D-printing so I hope that some of the other kits will get updated.
How much is it?
Is it resin molded or 3D printed?
It ain’t cheap …
Some cast resin and a few 3D-printed parts
It’s a beautiful kit.
and a lot of pretty Euros as well …
H.P.
I was able to get both kits (the Bernard and D16C) the first time around - actually they did two runs the first time around after the first sold out so fast, and I pleaded to get both kits, which I did.
Blitz Kits are very good, but they are simplified somewhat compared to the likes of Des, Resicast, etc. Nothing wrong with that of course. I’m tempted to a order another Bernard, but I actually still have the old Alby kit of the Bernard as well. And to be honest, while the Blitz kit is better, it is not significantly so. I actually would compare Blitz kits to the Alby as far as detail, simplicity, etc.
Nice to see this one available again, but to my eye, the old AlBy kit still looks far better, with better shapes and proportions. And a pity Blitz haven’t improved some of the parts offered in the first release, like the front wheels.
