Although I had post this on another thread (News from Nuremberg Toy Fair 2005) and had writen a News Story - waiting for approval - I can't resist sharing this with our Mates here:



Best regards from a Happy Submarine Modeler,

Skipper

And yet another Submarine from the Nurnburg show. What a great time for Sub builders! The MPM Company announced there Type XXII U-boat in 1/72 scale! Here is a pic.



Rui, I'm becoming a happy sub nut to!

Cheers,

Garry

Oh No!!!!

Alexandra (my Wife) is going to Kill me!!!
But then I can always play some tricks with her:
- No... this is the same sub I have been building since January!! Bigger?? Naaaa!!!

:-) :-) :-)

Thanks for the info Garry - Today is a good day!!

Skipper

Rui, is not the Alanger company the one who bought up ICM ? And if it is, then we just might be seeing the HMS Hood in 1/350 scale after all! Me ol heart would leap for joy! I see they also have a line of 1/35 Russian armor that looks realy good!

Indeed it is a good day!

Garry

Hi Garry!

From what I read, this "new" company split form ICM...due to some misunderstandings!
It will be nice if they produce all the things that they have in their projects area - and if they sell well, probably some more will come out - Like the new HMS Hood!

One thing is certain: if theyr models have the quality of ICM 1/144 Type XXIII U-boot they will be quite good
