News from Special Hobby 08/2019

And here it is again, August, the month of summer holidays  and hot weather (and at least here, in the Czech Republic, summers have been exceptionaly hot lately, indeed) and for us at Special Hobby, it is also the time of the IPMS USA which we are going to attend again. Even though some of our customer may spend the summer time enjoying their holidays, we still do believe that all the new kits we have prepared will be interesting for them. I also would like to remind you about the information, sent earlier in another message, that a handful of items from our range of plastic model kits is available now for a reduced price. Do also pay attention to the list of sold-out and discontinued items and please do not order them again.

So, the new kits coming this August are as follows:
