Special Hobby EN

 Mr. Stefan Kemenyík sent us photos of his 1/72 ŠK-38/SG-38 model in flight. He used a Special Hobby kit (currently only the SH72442 kit is available, but we’re preparing a new version), and the girl with the bicycle is from Firma49. The model will serve as the basis for a diorama that Mr. Kemenyík plans to build. Thank you very much for the photos.

 The upcoming 1/72 scale kit SH72542 Junkers Ju 87D-1/3 ‘Combat & Captured’ will feature both combat and captured Stuka D-1/3 variants. The box art depicting the Italian “Picchiatelli” flying over Vesuvius was created by Standa Hájek. The kit will include the Italian aircraft from the box art, a German aircraft in winter camouflage from the Eastern Front, and two “African captives”—Stukas in RAF and USAAF colors.

 For the SH48210 Heinkel He 177 kit, we offer not only the M48027 masks and 4515 resin wheels, but also the 4520 engine set. 

Jan Šimon from the Happy Model Builders Club is still building models. And he’s winning—for example, at E-Day. Congratulations. One of Jan’s latest models is an Australian indigenous weapon, the Boomerang 1/72. Using the SH72539 kit, which includes 3D-printed parts, he built a very impressive model; you can see the result in the photos.....

 After World War II, France—specifically the company Arsenal/SFECMAS —developed the ARSAERO CT 10 target drone through reverse engineering. The designers based their work on the German Fi 103/V-1 missile. The CT-10 target drone was used by France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy. We are preparing this drone as a 3D-printed kit in all standard scales: 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72.

 Camouflage schemes have been selected for the upcoming TP-40N Warhawk kit. The decals will feature three aircraft: olive/gray, metallic, and olive with green spots/gray. The kit will combine plastic and 3D-printed parts.
