I could not get their website up and working so was wondering if they added any new US items (Sherman was the last I saw) such as Studebaker truck? |

Zvesda tanks are for their games. No us tanks in their games so no are available. Limited British and all USSR and German are early war to go with their games. |

They do have a US M4 Sherman in 1/100th scale for Lend Lease. They were supposed to add M3 Lee's, Jeeps & 2 1/2 ton Studebaker trucks to the Lend Lease line. |

Not quite as cut and dried as that, but at the moment the only three "US" models that I know of are the Lee, Stuart, and M4A2, all of which fit into other nationalities as lend-lease. I've not seen any softskins yet. |

Well the Honey/Stuart; Lee & Sherman are all in their range because they were supplied lend lease so you would think a US truck like the Studebaker would be an obvious choice. However they seem content with one truck per force(Gaz; Blitz & Matador:) so I don't think its very likely. Which is a great shame because I for one would buy some. Fatman |

Three lend lease answers in four minutes, has to be a record! |

That's the thing with lend-lease – it may take a while, but once they start churning it out, a whole load does turn up…. ;-) |

Actually, according to the in-game cards all three American tanks are US units – even though only two of them were actually used by the US Army and/or USMC (the M4A2(76)W Sherman is suitable for the USSR only). Each December Zvezda releases a catalogue for the next year, announcing all the new models. This year they're releasing late war Soviet and German AFVs only, no British or American stuff (the whole list is here: TMP link ) |

I talked to a competitor vendor at the Orlando convention last weekend. His prices were slightly higher on his Zvesga than mine was. He said that zvesda had been available in his plastic model distributor side of the house for a very long time.
So they have been and are still around. I know I have a few sets of the modern Russians in the 1/2 price box. My WW2 has always been 10% off. They did just have a 50 cents price increase. |
wonders: Can Fernando do 1/285th?
