I saw 1/48 figures on IPMS Deutschland pictures of Nurnberg Toy's Fair

The range is stated as "Nordwind" but it seems to be 1/48 downscaled copies of Stalingrad, Alpine and Evolution Miniatures resin figures.

Alexander Zelenkov confirm to me that he didn't give any copyright for these figures.

Hi Dan,

I don't speak/read German, but looks like the company is Peddinghaus?

Thanks for finding this. Hope this is legit. If not, I obviously wouldn't support.

I hope somebody can shed some light.

I see that 2 of them are illegal reproduction of Alpine figures.
I think they shrunk my 1/35 scale figures by 3D scanning/printing
into 1/48.

Is Peddinghaus behind this?

Taesung,

Too bad there is not some kind of agreement because I don't think we will ever see these in 1/48 from the original manufacturers.

Look at the bottom of the first picture. There is an e-mail I think says something like Peddinghaus-decals@web.de. Your eyes are probably better than mine.

I am not for certain though.

I can read the same email

i think the best way is that the concerned manufacturers take contact with them to see what they have to say about these figures.

Dan

Hey Dan - nice job spotting these.

Hope Stalingrad, Evolution and Alpine work it out as it would be nice to have their products in 1/48 in a legit manner. I realize Evolution already scales their 1/35 down and releases them in 1/48.

To be clear though I would not buy these without Taesung's, Sergey's and Alexander's blessing.

Phil

Genau, that is, precisely! We can decide not to buy figures that we think are pirated, but only the original manufacturer will have any standing to after the pirates.

Prost!
Brad

We're on the case.

Hi. On the poster the name "peddinghaus-decals", the address, the telephonenumber and the email address peddinghaus-decals@web.de is mentioned

The sentence "Nordwind exklusive bei Peddinghaus-Decals" means "nordwind exklusive by Peddinghaus Decals". In my eyes that means that you can get theat figures "only" from Peddinghaus
