News from Special Hobby 07/2026

   The July newsletter will offer you a reissue of the 1/72 P-40M Warhawk kit, the 1/72 Junkers Ju 87D Stuka kit with very interesting camouflage schemes and the 1/48 Bücker Bü 181 kit. Unfortunately, the promised 1/72 Albacore is not ready yet, so we have to postpone it again. If there are no further complications, we will offer it in August, together with the 1/48 Baltimore.    Resin and 3D printed sets are represented in the July offer mainly by 3D printed sets for the 1/35 RSO and also by another set for improving the 1/35 motorcycle kit. These sets are very popular among modellers and are very successful in stores. This time the choice fell on the BSA M20 motorcycle from Tamiya. The offer also includes another all-resin aircraft kit from the Planet Models series. The 1/48 DH.94 Moth Minor offers very interesting military and civilian liveries.   We look forward to your orders. A.

Decals for Combat & Captured Stukas - Coming Soon: SH72542 Junkers Ju 87D-1/3 Kit

 Decals for the upcoming SH72542 Junkers Ju 87D-1/3 ‘Combat & Captured’ 1/72 kit are currently being printed.

P48052 P-47D/M Thunderbolt Intercooler Channel Correction Set 1/48

   This set corrects one of the few flaws in the 1/48 scale P-47D and P-47M Thunderbolt kits. The internal air outlet duct leading to the sides of the fuselage is missing in the Tamiya P-47D/M model, leaving the empty fuselage visible. This 3D-printed set easily corrects this flaw. Simply glue the air duct—which ends with an intercooler—into the two fuselage halves.

SH32035 D-3801 ‘Guardians of Sion’ 1/32

Image
 For the upcoming 1/32 scale kit SH32035 D-3801 ‘Guardians of Sion,’ the only part still missing from our inventory of parts and molds is the cockpit armor glass. It is currently being electroplated, along with other clear parts for different kits. After quite some time, we will therefore be releasing another 1/32 scale kit. The decals will feature four aircraft, whose color schemes reflect the changes in the markings of neutral Switzerland’s aircraft during World War II and after its end.
