Take a look at built-up images of Trumpeter's 1/16 scale Panzer III.

Trumpeter shares built-up photos of its recent 1/35 scale release of the IVECO-built infantry fighting vehicle used by the Italian Army.

1/16 scale AFVs seem to be the norm these days -- with Trumpeter's Tiger I for release in August.

Trumpeter follows up its big scale StuG with a Pz. III Ausf. J kit, slated for release in July.

Better start planning for extra shelf space as Trumpeter is soon to release a StuG kit in 1/16 scale.

Trumpeter's release list for April and May feature 1/35 and 1/72 scale subjects depicting modern armor, a tactical vehicle, as well as a civilian fire truck.

Trumpeter's March release feature WWII German vehicle subjects - a 1/16 Tiger II and a 1/72 Sd.Kfz.8 halftrack.

The Trumpeter's 1:35 BR 86 steam engine rolled on the tracks along with the Miniart's figures.

Trumpeter's October release announcement was for an early production Tiger II, specifically Fgst.Nr.280009. This however is not the case now, as what has rolled out is a late production Tiger I.

Big scale kits as the new normal? Trumpeter follows up with another WWII German half-track in 1/16 scale. For modern era modelers, a NASAMS kit in 1/35 scale will be available. Both are slated for December release.
