Mig has some useful releases this month including Etched bolt and rivet sets and Tarps for the Marder IIIH and the Opel Blitz.
The releases are:

MP 35-166 1/35 Winter Tarp for DML Marder III H 14 €
MP 35-504 JS-II Photo Etch Stand-Off Armour 8 €
MP 35-169 Opel Blitz Winter Upgrade Set for Tamiya KIT 1/35 - 35€

includes tarp, a set of wheels and a radiator cover.

MP 35-170 Opel Blitz TARP Set for Tamiya KIT 1/35 - 19€
MP 35-122 OPEL BLITZ WHEELS Set for Italeri and Tamiya KIT 1/35 - 17€
MPE 35-500 Hexagonal Bolts 5€

These photo-etched Hexagonal Bolts come on an adhesive backing without connecters. All the modeller needs to do is peel the bolts that they need away for the backing and they are ready to be glued into position on the model. The bolts come in six popular common sizes. Also included on the same fret are three different sized hexagonal bolts with screws in the middle.

MPE 35-505 Rivets , discs and washers 5€
These photo-etched Rivets, discs and washers come on an adhesive backing without connecters. The modeller just needs to simply peel the size that they need from the backing and they are ready to be glued into position on the model. The bolts come in seven common sizes. Also included on the same fret are seven different sized perfectly round washers.

New Abteilung Oil colors
• Sunny Flesh Tone
• Basic Flesh Tone
• Light Flesh Tone
• Field Grey

I particularly like the bolt and rivet sets and the fact that there are no annoying etch connection stubs to file away from each piece.

I understand how photo etch works, but what mystifies me is how Mig goes from the photo etch process to getting the finished details on the adhesive sheet. Any ideas? It is a great leap forward in the technology and will certainly save my fingers from a lot of annoying brass cuts.... Please tell me some poor guy doesn't sit there all day and stick the pieces on the adhesive sheet

I have to say that it's about time that small AM PE parts like this came loose as opposed attached to a fret, well done MIG.

It just reminds me of the recently released LionRoar stuff : Frenchy

Ric, it's not exactly a new process, here's a few from the stone age done by FotoCut: Some 1/48th seat backs and 1/72 scale gun sights and WW1 Jolly Good Bezels. But it is certainly nice to see the process return, and hopefully more photo-etch producers will follow this process, as it certainly makes using the smaller parts easier, with no annoying pips to clean up.

Just guessing here put I would imagine the adhesive sheet is resistant to the etchant. So they put the brass sheet with adhesive sheet on the back and the photo resist on the face and etch them together. The thickness of the Lion Roar bolt heads is sweet. (Does anyone still cut little slices of hex rod like me or does everyone buy bolt heads?) Shaun /Slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
