  Manuel Leyva sends in these nice images of his latest built, the long-nosed  CASA.212-400  in colours of the Venezuela Navy. Manuel built this model from  SH72489  kit that portrays machines operated in South Africa, Venezuela and Argentina. Our very big thank you to Manuel for the photos.

These sets show here today cover both versions of Italeri's 1/72 AMX kit, the single seat one needs set no.  7528  while the two-seater type requires set no.  7529  . Both of the sets come with a fret of etches. 

The reason for the Temco company to have chosen the name Temco for their training jet remains hidden to us.  Be that as it may, all of US Navy's Pintos flew in yellow overall. And this is exactly what Martin Pfeifer's nicely finished kit also looks like. Martin has built the model using our  PLT287  kit which is a second generation of the Planet Model range, now consisting of resin cast parts and finely 3D-printed parts. And this yellow beast does look quite tempting, would you not say?

Trumpeter's 1/48 Barracuda kit simply asks for some improvement here and there so a couple of our sets is here to help you ammend that areas. Set  P48040  covers the exhausts which are now correctly shaped, the other set no.  P48041  tackles the propeller and spinner of the proper diameter, shape and size.

 Les Venus has recently built this awesome looking Airfix's 1/48 Lysander, turning it into the Mk.III(SD) version with the help of our 3D-printed set no. 4495. Thank you Les for the photos! Great job.
