JTFM Enterprises acquires the rights to Chieftain Models
Following is a list of models which JTFM Enterprises now owns and will begin producing as soon as the masters arrive. Stay tuned as I will be posting release dates as I bring the models on stream. These kits will be available from a growing list of stockists in the U.K. and E.U. as well as JTFM directly and North Bay Games and Hobbies in North America. JTFM Enterprises will also be actively pursuing contacts in Australia and the region to ensure availability in that region of the world.
Germany: Hetzer, Jagdpanther, Jagdpanzer IV A, Marder II, Panther Ausf.A, Pz.III early, Pz.38T, Pz.II Ausf.F, R-35 Panzerjaeger, SdKfz.231, SdKfz.233, SdKfz.250/1/3/9 Alte, StuG.III Ausf.D, StuG.III Ausf.G, Pz.IV early, and the Sturmhaubitze 42.
Western Allies: Cruiser A13, Humber Scout Car, Marmon Herrington Mk.III, Morris CS9, Austin K5, Universal Carrier Mk.I and Mk.II, M4 Sherman Mk.I / Firefly Ic, Staghound Armoured Car, and the Tetrarch.
France: R-35
Russia: BT-5
The rights to new crew figures and stowage will also be coming over to us in this deal.
There maybe some additions to this list as I’m awaiting a definitive list from Ian Crouch at Chieftain Models.
In other news the master for the M4A4 Sherman Mk.V / Firefly Vc is enroute to me from Mike Broadbent in Australia. He is currently working on a GMC “Deuce and a Half” and then will be moving on to an M4A2 Sherman, an M4A1 Sherman, and then an M4A3E8.
Tony Ashcroft has completed the master for the Neubaufahrzeug and I’ll have the master in hand early February. He will then move on to a Pz.III Ausf.J which will become the basis for later versions using upgrade kits.
John Pierson is close to completing the T-34 Model 1943 which will be available with the following turret configurations: Hex style “Mickey Mouse”, Uralmash, and T-34/85. He will then be moving on to one of three other projects on our list.
From me the M3 Lee/Grant requires the completion of the application of rivets. Then the SdKfz.251/9 late Stummel and SdKfz.251/22D will be completed. Following that I will resume work on the Tiger I early and late models.
We’ll also try to through in some Zimmerit coated vehicles along the way!
Cheers and happy gaming !
