Dear business friends,    The August newsletter disproves, at least in our country, the saying about the summer silly season. The kit offer includes both the postponed 1/72 Albacore and the very long-awaited 1/48 Baltimore. The third in the back is the 1/72 SK-37E Viggen electronic warrior. These three new items are accompanied by a pair of 1/72 scale reissues. Both the P-40F/L Warhawk and the Heinkel He 178V-1 have sold successfully in the past and are still appearing in orders.

SH 89 by Milan Pospíšil

 We received photos from Milan Pospíšil of the SH 89 / CASA C.212 'ASW & Maritime Patrol' model he built .

There are no unnecessary flash or excess plastic anywhere. I used putty only on the underside at the joint between the two fuselage halves. For the build, I chose the most challenging of the available camouflage schemes—and, in my opinion, the most beautiful one.  Thank you very much for the photos.
