Dear business friends,    At the beginning of the September newsletter, I must apologize for the delay in the 1/48 Baltimore kit. The kit was ready for distribution, but at the last minute we discovered that one of the propellers was mirror-imaged. We had to quickly produce part of the mould with the new propeller, which is why the Baltimore distribution was delayed. This also delayed the preparation of other models, SH72491 Junkers W 34 and VT48003 Sea Venom FAW.21/53. The September newsletter therefore brings the new 1/72 TP-40N Warhawk and three attractive reissues of the 1/48 Maryland Mk.I/II, Heinkel He 178V-2 and AF-2W      Guardian kits as well as re-released 1/72 SH72395 F-84F Thunderstreak. I believe that we will avoid further mistakes. Among the 3D printed and resin cast kits and sets, the fully printed Anatra Anasal kit is certainly worth your attention, we also bring other accessories for the M36 Jackson and the Baltimore. We look forward to your orders. A. Riedel SPECIAL H...

SH72543 TP-40N ‘Two-seat Warhawk’ 1/72 The American P-40 Warhawk fighter is one of the iconic aircraft of World War II. It was also supplied to the Allies as the Kittyhawk. The P-40N variant was the last mass-produced version. A limited number of these aircraft were converted into two-seat trainer fighters. The instructor’s cockpit was installed behind the original pilot’s cockpit. Due to the limited visibility, the instructor used a system of periscopic mirrors to see ahead.     The kit combines P-40N molded parts with new clear parts and 3D-printed parts for the second cockpit. Since it is necessary to cut an opening in the fuselage for the second cockpit, this kit is intended for more experienced modelers (the cuts are simply made along the panel lines) . The decals feature three USAAF aircraft, two in olive drab and one in metallic paint. The kit also includes a mask for the fuselage markings.       - limited quantity of an unusual version- we offer a variety o...
