Set for 1/72 scale Hetzer (Vespid Models) being worked on

Perhaps you might be interested to take a look at what is going to be available soon. Vespid Models have released their new 1/72 Hetzer and so why not make a couple more accessories, right? Today's images show the components of the upcoming 3D printed set (no 2063). The pale greyish parts, that is. Not the metal ones, those come with the original kit.

Sets for 1/48 M5A1 Stuart. And not just for this one...

Image
Our team have been busy not only with the British conversion set for the 1/48 M5A1 Stuart, the guys have also put their effort to designing a few more 3D-printed sets. First of which is   P48035  M5A1 Turret Machine Gun Mount and Gun Barrels that very simply upgrades both US and British military vehicles of the period. The parts of the set are a direct replacement to those styrene ones from kits. Set    P48036   Antena Base for Wireless set No.19, on the other hand, is made for British tanks and armoured vehicles. Not just for that Stuart, really. And the same can be said about the final one of today's sets, item no.   P48038 ,  WWII British Fire Extinguishers  which will most definitely come handy for those building the British Stuart or any other British military vehicle, too. All these three sets come now your way among our November new releases....

One more He 177 moulding tool - test run

Image
Would you say that the 1/48 He 177 project is a bit dragging on? Yes you might but it is not entirely true as the final two moulding tools are now being machined, the clear parts mould will get a new core and voila, then it is finished. What is more, yesterday saw one of the already finished mould tested. The result is here below. Some parts needs a bit of polishing, flashes will be removed and we will be able to check off another piece of the He 177 puzzle.
