Patrick Branly's Mosquito

Image
 Patrick Branly, a French modeler, aviation historian, and, last but not least, our friend, sent us photos of the 1/72-scale Mosquito PR Mk.XVI and NF Mk.XXX models from our production line. Patrick built them from kits SH72452 and SH72508 . For both Mosquitos, however, he chose French markings, which are not included in the kits. He has the SH72544 kit—the high-altitude Mosquito Mk.XV—under construction, so photos of this version will be available sometime in the future.

Vážení obchodní přátelé,       když jsem v úvodníku minulého newsletteru psal o tom, že se opozdila distribuce stavebnice Baltimore, netušil jsem, že v tomto úvodníku budu muset přiznat zdržení dalších stavebnic. V zářijovém newsletteru nabízená stavebnice SH72543 TP-40N Warhawk stále není k dispozici. Forma čirých dílů, ve které byla nejen kabina pro TP-40N se nepovedla. To vedlo k pozdržení nejen TP-40N, ale i dalších stavebnic. Proto říjnový newsletter nabízí jen dvě stavebnice. Odhaduji, že opožděnou TP-40N budeme moci distribuovat nejdříve od 25. října.     Mezi sety říjnového newsletteru najdete např. další sety pro 1/48 Baltimore, sety pro 1/48 Bücker Bü 181 a první ze setů, které jsme připravili pro nový 1/72 Junkers Ju 52 firmy Airfix. Další sety na Junkers Ju 52 vydáme v listopadu.    Listopadový newsletter přinese 1/48 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 (ex. Cl. Airfames), ovšem s kompletně přepracovanými díly interiéru a podvozku a novými čirými díly. S ním nabídneme i 1/32 D.3801 ‘Gu...

News from Special Hobby 10/2026

Dear business partners,      When I wrote in the previous newsletter’s editorial about the delayed distribution of the Baltimore kit, I had no idea I would have to admit to delays with other kits in this one. The SH72543 TP-40N Warhawk kit, announced in the September newsletter, is still unavailable. The clear parts tooling—which included the canopy for the TP-40N—was unsuccessful. This caused a delay not only for the TP-40N but for other kits as well; consequently, the October newsletter features only two kits. I estimate that we will be able to begin distributing the delayed TP-40N no earlier than 25 October.    Among the sets in the October newsletter, you will find, for example, additional sets for the 1/48 Baltimore, sets for the 1/48 Bücker Bü 181, and the first of the sets we have prepared for Airfix’s new 1/72 Junkers Ju 52. We will release further sets for the Junkers Ju 52 in November.    The November newsletter will feature the 1/48 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 (ex-Classic Airfra...
