Hi folks, any wishes or sugestions for photos from the Nürnberger Spielzeugmesse? I will be there on Saturday, 5th February

Hi folks, any wishes or sugestions for photos from the Nürnberger Spielzeugmesse? I will be there on Saturday, 5th February

In addition to the major players, please get some pictures of any Atlas, Dragon, Oxford, Falcon or IXO warbird models you see displayed, Pauck. These guys are delving into interesting niche areas like the Storch, TA-152, B-58, Tiger Moth, etc. Also, if you note any activity in the armor category----especially in the 1:43-1:50th scale range, I'd be most interested. Thanks.

Ditto EP's request, Pauck. :cool

Could you have a look at 'Clevelands' /Sky Guardians Europe stand, as speaking to them yesterday, they said that they hope to have a painted version of the long awaited Sea Vixen and Javelin. Any photos would be great:D Have a great show.

So here is my small review of the Nuremburg Toy Fair. Thanks for supporting, Wings900.com!
All comments are my own opinion and point of view.
The range of producer of die cast airplanes wasn’t big. I made photos from Century Wings, Corgi, Dragon, Forces of Valor, Oxford Diecast. Hobby Master wasn’t on the toy fair, Falcon I didn't find (Atlas=Oxford, IXO=Altaya)
I split airplanes and military/support vehicle, for those that are interested in, you find it in a different thread.
I add although a diorama section.

Airplanes

Let us start with Corgi:
We have World War 1, Inter War, World War II, Cold War and Helicopters.

Only this small corner presents the Aviation Archive (and a small cabinet). The rest is Airfix, Scaletrix, cars etc, Aviation Archive is only a brand in a company…
Good thing: The displayed airplanes are in good conditions, not this junkyard like the last years (2010 was it better too), I miss some (for me) very important models: Mosquito in 1:32, the Coastal Command Halifax p. e. (in place of that a “Friday the 13”). If someone will want to see pages from the catalogue: I have one and I would scan it. The new products are mostly interesting for GB collector, I think.

WWI:
Overview

I like this little colourful deadly hunter of the sky! The propeller looks now more realistic. Nice new paintings.

Inter War Collection
Corgi starts a new collection, with one novelty: Hawker Hart! These two versions of the Fairey Swordfish are repaints and the silver livery looks good!

Sorry, at the moment it is not possible to upload more pictures via bildercache, I hope I will completed my review later this week:(

[blue steel]

Thanks Pauck, hope you are having a great time :)

[ZS-VAN]

Very nice pics from the Corgi stand! :cool Thank for posting. ;)

[spitfire]

Photo's much appreciated sir.:cool

[fozzy45]

Thanks for posting. Both the Camel and the Hart have upper wings that are mounted too high on the struts (I know this has been mentioned previously as far as the Hart is concerned) and trust this will be remedied on the production versions. The profile of the Hurricane also does not look quite right, both the canopy and the distinctive "humpback" appearance - both of which were very well done on the old Corgi Mk I, does not look quite right. This may be purely down to the angle that the picture was taken but I hope there will be the opportunity to comment on this one before the mold is finalised.

[Craig]

Thanks for the pictures, interesting to see and glad to see them much better presented than in previous years :)

[Kubikali]

The pictures don't exist anymore??

[11SQNLDR]

The pictures don't exist anymore??

I can't see them either:unsure:

Nope, that makes three. :unsure:

Computers are splendid are they not?? :wacko: :D

[shuttle]

The server hosting the pictures appears to have an error. I checked the links and a SQL error is reported.

:( Shuttle

[sniperUK]

Still nothing anywhere on the Witty Sea Vixen, did they allow photos?

[Max Reheat]

Thanks for the pics Pauck, good work :)

Looks like there is a new, cradle type stand for the Vulcan, perhaps to allow the display of Blue Steel in flight? although the one on display only shows Blu-Tack :LOL: :wacko:

Splendid pictures, good that they are working again.

Thanks Mate. :D

[The Defiant Man]

Looking at the last Stirling pic......the undercarriage seems to have had some work on it since the pics of the pre-pro were posted & discussed......the model looks to have a far better angle than before......

Looks like a Corgi BAe Hawk stand to me, at least they chose a reasonably solid stand to use :)

Cheers for the pics Pauck :cool

We are going to have good chances to get the Arado Ar-196 without to make a detour via Atlas at end of this year and on my question of possibility to get a Fieseler Storch, I get a big grin. Let us hope that we get one!

So i need a break, lot of work with this photos!
Next thread is military stuff: Panzerstahl, Dragon, Ixo, Solido (yea, I don't forget 1:50), FOV and a new producer, Tokoloko, a polish company.

[Pauck]

Still nothing anywhere on the Witty Sea Vixen, did they allow photos?

I didn't find Witty on the Toy Fair:o

[triumph]

Thanks for the pictures Pauck
Must say it looks like they used the same guys to do the rivets on the FOV ME109 as built the Titanic. Blimy the drag you would have got from that little lot might have knocked 100 mph of top speed

[Craig]

Thanks for the pics Pauck, good work :)

Looks like there is a new, cradle type stand for the Vulcan, perhaps to allow the display of Blue Steel in flight? although the one on display only shows Blu-Tack :LOL: :wacko:

As far as I'm aware the stand will be just the same as previous models I'm afraid... :)

I forget something: Great news in the Easy Model catalogue: We get a P-61 in 1:72! O.K. it’s plastic, but it is better then nothing, isn’t it? But I get no answer on my question of a release date, the only answer was “look on the homepage”. Additional airplanes are Il-2 Sturmovik, Fairey Swordfish, P-38, P-47D, F2A/M339, Fw 190A-6

[blue steel]

The 'Easy Model' P-61, IL-2 and Mig 17 will be of particular interest to me, thanks :)

[no4mkit]

On the second photo (left to right) you see a KC-135 “Tiger Marking”, C-130 Hercules, C-5B Galaxy, B-1B Lancer (all 1:400) This white airplane I can’t indentify, maybe an Airbus…

That's a KC-767 in JASDF markings. :cool

Thanks for all the great photos Pauck! :)

well i have a 2009 catalogue here and their are 4 pages of releases from this that are not out yet:)

[divemikedive]

Thanks for making the effort to keep us all up to date Pauck. Its very appreciated indeed and the first thread I click on when I open up the forum.

Happy about the Oxford vehicles, even if they are 1/76th (at that size the difference isn't going to be very pronounced compared to 1/72) With HM introducing airfield vehicles, its going to be a good year for making our displays come to life a bit more.

Also happy about the upcoming selection of Easy Model aircraft. The MiG17, and P61 float my boat in particular, but I say this with the reservation that EM is notoriously slow to bring to market models they say they will be producing. I have a hard copy of EMs catalogue from a year or two ago, and probably 25-30% of the models and types depicted have still to appear ie; is the Buffalo ever going to make an appearance? So, fingers crossed...as they have certainly picked types that are gaps in the diecast world and high on the collectors lists.

Yes, good points that you and Zed have made about the 'Easy Model' delays.....we might get a 'quality' 1/72 diecast Buffalo and IL-2 sooner :) With regard to the vehicles, I agree that 1/76 is acceptable especially as many 'specialist' military vehicle manufacturers and kit makers also produce to 1/76 scale. I think Oxford may also introduce more 'cross-over' items that can be released in civil and military liveries so understandably they will remain consistent with their current 1/76 'OO railway' scale model range :)

[Dutchie]

Thanks Pauck for the information and nice pictures:cool :)

Ixo will produce a new range in 1:48, 4 models were displayed, and here are the photos:

I got no information about the exact types; I made research in the internet and books on the basis of the photos, so maybe the declaration is possible incorrect.

Panzerstahl
http://www.bildercache.de/minibild/20110212-133616-350.jpg (http://www.bildercache.de/anzeige.html?dateiname=20110212-133616-350.jpg)
Panzerstahl announced two new product lines, Panzer III and Hetzer, both in 1:72
Panzerstahl is a relative new brand, produced by a German retailer. Modellbau König (name of the retailer) has produced till now Panzer IV, Klakpanzer Wirbelwind / Ostwind, Sd.Kfz. 234/1, Sd.Kfz. 234/2 “Puma”, Sd.Kfz. 234/3 “Stummel”, 234/4 PAK-wagen and Bundeswehr vehicles like SPz Marder, TPz Fuchs and ATF Dingo.

Low production runs between 1200 (Bundeswehr) and 3000 (Panzer III and Hetzer) for each version of the tank make them to a good collectable,cause no add. versions will produce. Retail price will be round about 21 Euro.
The new products are made of plastic, because in plastic it is possible to produce with finer details.


At first, the catalogue pages:

The tank destroyer Hetzer (Jagdpanzer 38(t)) is going to produce in 4 different versions: early and mid production, Flammenhetzer and Ausf. Starr.
Direct competitor to Forces of Valor version of the Hetzer

Panzerstahl was the only producer that allowed that I made photos outside the glass cabinet for better positioning and gave detailed informations. Thanks for that!

Solido
14 new military vehicles and tanks in 1:43 – 1:50 in 2011
It exist s.t. small differences between displayed vehicle and catalogue (livery/turret number, e.g. M4A1 157 Roco and Angel or Tiger I turret number red 528 to black 222
IMPO, very interesting choices for the vehicle, they looks very good, the tanks looks s.t. a little bit toy like. At Army Collector 1, I’m not sure which one is 1:43 and which one 1:50, but for me it is more logical that the cars in 1:43. I hope that on Monday, I will get more information.

I posted some diorama photos in the Diorama section.
Thanks to all for your response :) Hope that I will have the possibility to make photos next year again
