Polish Dakota, modern Strykers, and the mighty warships Yamato and Kongo
The newest pre-orders bring an impressive variety of kits, covering modern armor, WWII classics, aircraft, figures, accessories, and stunning naval subjects. The lineup features major releases from Rye Field Model, IBG Models, MiniArt, ICM, Trumpeter, Eduard, Gecko Models, Border, and Takom.
Rye Field Model leads with the M1128 MGS Stryker equipped with the MILES system, accurately depicting modern US Army training vehicles after 2010. This 1/35 kit delivers exceptional realism and engineering precision.
IBG Models adds several highly anticipated releases, including the C-47A Skytrain “Polish Dakota” limited edition and the Spitfire Mk.I “Beginning of the Saga” – marking the start of a new generation of early RAF fighters in 1/72 scale. Also announced are 1939 Polish Uhlans, the IAR-80B over Stalingrad, and new upgrade sets for the Spitfire series.
ICM combines modern and classic themes, from the Drone Hunters diorama and the Marder 1A3 in Ukrainian service to the massive S-64E Skycrane and the WWII Hs 123A-1 and Marauder Mk.III. Complementary figure sets for the Black Hawk crew round out the selection.
MiniArt continues to impress with dynamic subjects like the StuH 42 Ausf. G Late Production, Sd.Kfz. 234/4 armored car, and US soldiers with Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycles. Trumpeter brings the Challenger 1 Mk.3 MBT, various Stryker vehicles, and new naval kits such as the Queen Elizabeth and Scharnhorst.
The highlight of this release wave is undoubtedly the naval segment. Border Model presents extraordinary 1/350-scale warships: the Yamato 1965 Parallel World, Kongo, and Takao, blending historical detail with imaginative design. Takom follows with a twin destroyer set featuring the Anshan Class and Gremyashchiy, while Trumpeter expands its fleet with large-scale carriers and battleships, including the HMS Royal Oak and Scharnhorst. These releases will delight naval enthusiasts looking for ambitious and detailed ship models.
Eduard enriches its catalog with dozens of new detail sets – from LööK and SPACE 3D Decals to photo-etched and 3D-printed components for aircraft such as the MiG-21F-13, P-40N, Zero, and Bf 109K-4. New masks, cockpits, and accessory kits raise the bar for precision detailing.
Gecko Models introduces a beautifully sculpted Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery figure in 1/16 scale and several Vietnam War-themed vehicle kits. The naval and ground releases together form one of the most diverse collections of the season, balancing realism, creativity, and technical innovation.
This wave of releases proves once again that scale modeling continues to evolve – uniting history, modern technology, and craftsmanship in stunning miniature form. Whether your passion is armor, aircraft, or ships, there’s something here to inspire your next project.
