VT48003 DH.112 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 1/48 - Test (Working) Model

Image
 Our designer was testing how well the new 3D-printed parts fit into the old 1/48 Sea Venom kit (formerly Cl. Airframes). This is a work-in-progress; it wasn’t built for aesthetic purposes. I also just used my cell phone to take the photos, since I’m busy preparing for SMW Telford. So take the photos with a grain of salt—they’re here to give you an idea of what’s new in the VT48003 model. The model will be released this month, but it won’t be available for purchase at the aforementioned Telford event yet.

VT48003 DH.112 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 1/48 - Side Views of Selected Camouflage Schemes

Image
 We are preparing a 1/48 scale kit of the DH.112 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53. It features Classic Airframes molded parts supplemented with new clear parts, resin parts, 3D-printed parts, and decals. That is why we have included this kit in the Vintage Treasure series. The decals will feature four Sea Venoms: three British and one Australian. However, we have designed the Australian version in two different variants, as its service history was quite varied. So there are five camouflage schemes in total.

Kits for the fuselage, engine, and seats for the 1/48 Bücker Bu 181

Image
   Bücker Bü 181 The Bestmann was selected in 1939 as the Luftwaffe’s standard trainer. It served as a trainer throughout the war and, toward the end of the war, was even deployed in combat as a harassment bomber or anti-tank aircraft. Thanks to this, as well as Swedish licensed production and postwar Czechoslovak and Egyptian production, it achieved widespread use and renown. We offered a kit of this interesting aircraft under catalog number SH48120. However, the kit sold out, and during the reprinting process, the mold for the fuselage was damaged. As a result, the kit was out of stock for an extended period. It also took a long time because we not only created a new fuselage mold from modified 3D data but also additional molds with different engine variants. First, we released kit SH48173 with decals for Luftwaffe and Swedish Flygvapnet aircraft. The decals feature two Luftwaffe trainer aircraft and one very colorful Swedish-licensed Sk 25. We have also prepared two sets to accompa...
