Newsletter 9/2018

Image
The summer is in full swing now, many of you enjoying the well-deserved holidays, but it is also a high time to start working on the September edition of our regular monthly Newsletter. I am writing these lines in my Tuscon hotel room, but it is no holiday for me here. With plenty of work ahead, I am going to meet up with many of our business partners at this year‘s IPMS Phoenix Covention. However, besides this newsletter, there is also one very pleasant thing coming later today, our visit to the Pima Air & Space Museum. I think I even might get inspired there for some of our new projects, who knows? But definitely, these new possible project will come to fruition in rather distant future, now we have to focus on our more recent models.

SH72345 Super Mystere SMB.2 (Sa'ar) - built test shot model

Image
Last week, we received the very first test shot samples of the most recent addition to our production plans, the 1/72 Super Mystere SMB.2 / Sa'ar fighter plane. You have already been able to examine closely not only the testshots themselves, but also the partial build illustrating the internal components of the fuselage. It indeed is rather obvious that the interior is quite busy, besides the obligatory pilot's office also the jet engine trunking and afterburner chamber were meticulously portrayed by our skilful 3D design team.
   Today, we are thrilled to be able to share with you yet another batch of build photos, now presenting the overal shape of the SMB.2 airframe, which to be precise has been built into the Sa'ar version (an Israeli-modified version incorporating a US ex-Skyhawk engine) with much more rearward protruding jet engine nozzle.
   Given the fact that these testshots are of the first batch, the outcome is not that bad and the model is now being used i…
