IBG Models has prepared another exciting batch of 1:72 scale releases. The new lineup includes modern Polish armored vehicles, classic British military machines from World War II and the Cold War era, as well as unique aircraft kits depicting the very first prototype of the legendary Spitfire. These releases should attract fans of modern armor, historic military vehicles, and aviation alike.
Rosomak “The Green Devil” – modern APC in 1:72 scale
IBG 72135 represents the KTO Rosomak “The Green Devil”, one of the most recognizable modern armored personnel carriers used by the Polish Armed Forces. The Rosomak family has become very popular among modelers thanks to its modern appearance, advanced equipment, and numerous specialized variants. The “The Green Devil” edition offers an eye-catching scheme and many modern external details characteristic of this vehicle family.
The kit can be an excellent choice for modelers building modern military dioramas in 1:72 scale. Rosomak vehicles look especially impressive both as standalone models and when combined with NATO vehicles or modern infantry figures.
Rosomak Medevac – medical support version of the famous APC
Another new Rosomak release is IBG 72141 – KTO Rosomak Medevac. Medical evacuation variants of modern armored vehicles are especially interesting modeling subjects because they feature distinctive equipment and markings compared to standard combat versions. Kits like this allow modelers to create more realistic modern battlefield and logistical scenes.
The Rosomak Medevac is also a great option for enthusiasts of modern Polish military vehicles. Its characteristic medical markings and modified configuration make it stand out among standard combat variants.
FV4101 Charioteer – British tank destroyer in the Middle East
IBG 72114 depicts the FV4101 Charioteer in the Middle East – a British post-war vehicle developed on the Cromwell tank chassis. The vehicle received a new turret armed with the powerful 20-pounder gun, significantly improving its anti-tank capabilities while retaining the mobility of the original design.
The Middle Eastern versions carried distinctive markings and served in countries such as Jordan and Lebanon, making them an interesting alternative to more common British armored vehicles seen in European theaters. The model should appeal to both Cold War armor enthusiasts and modelers looking for less typical subjects.
Bedford MWD – classic British military truck
The new IBG 72161 kit represents the Bedford MWD General Service Closed Cab – one of the most recognizable British light trucks of World War II. Vehicles of this family were widely used for transporting supplies, personnel, and equipment across virtually every theater of the war.
Bedford trucks are highly popular diorama subjects because they can easily be combined with many Allied vehicles and figure sets. The closed cab gives the vehicle the classic appearance typical of early-war British trucks, making it especially attractive for logistical or airfield scenes.
The first Spitfire – the birth of an aviation legend
Among the most interesting releases are two kits of the Supermarine Type 300 prototype – the aircraft that later evolved into the legendary Spitfire. The IBG-MRM-A720001 and IBG-MRM-A720002 kits depict the K5054 prototype during its maiden flight and later flight-testing stages.
For aviation history enthusiasts, this is a particularly fascinating subject. The prototype differed noticeably from later production Spitfires, featuring unique construction details, different cooling arrangements, and distinctive early paint schemes. These kits offer the opportunity to showcase the origins of one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II.
They are also an excellent choice for collectors of British aviation subjects and modelers interested in presenting the development of famous aircraft through different stages of their history.
IBG Models continues to expand its 1:72 scale range
The latest releases clearly demonstrate that IBG Models continues to strongly develop its 1:72 scale lineup by combining modern military subjects, historical vehicles, and aviation themes. In a single wave of releases, the company offers modern Rosomaks, classic British military vehicles, and the unique Spitfire prototype.
These new kits should appeal both to collectors of small-scale models and to modelers building detailed military and aviation dioramas.
