1/32 SH32047 Westland Whirlwind Mk.I - fuselage sprue testshot

We are not sure about the Yetti but the Whirlwind is real!
We bet you were starting to think the Special Hobby Whirlwind was nothing but another urban legend. Well, we did keep you waiting a long time. But the project is alive and we have proof! Here are pictures of the first frame with the fuselage. And we promise that things will go faster from now on.

    I have the airfix 1/72 and the Trumpeter (?) 1/48, so really looking forward to the release of your 1/32. I don't usually do 1/32 as they are too big for my space, but this is definitely one in which I will break tradition for. Thanks for modeling it.

   Throughout February, our end customers kept their eye on our social media much closely than they had before. And this is just very humble description. We put it down to the ever increasing levels of accuracy and quality of our models which goes hand in hand in the increased customers‘ interest in them. The information we published at the time of the Nuremberg toy fair only supported this. If it is going to be reflected in the number of orders, we do have something to look forward to. And especially the colleagues in the warehouse and packing centre.   Our new 1/72 Heinkel He 162 Spatz was heavily on the radar of businessmen, journalists and the modellers themselves at the event, while the SMB2 Super Mystere / Sa’ar Duo Pack & Book was among the most watched upcoming projects. However, our March Newsletter is not just bringing information on these two models, we have a new Special Mask addition to our range as well as a lot of new resin detail sets, three of which cater for the

   The Coronavirus plague seems to be in the decline, finally, at least here in Europe. Restrictions are being eased, borders are being opened and travel opportunities are getting wider every day. Let us hope that the whirl of modelling shows and competitons gets underway again soon, it looks like we might have the first ones sometimes in the late summer. And yes we do hope that the modelling community will be able to get to gether again as they did before the pandemics. Apparently, modellers keep building and are enjoying their hobby even more than ever. So, there should be plenty to look at, really. Meantime, it still is necessary to share just photos of the finished builds on social media. And it makes us really very happy that great many of you keep sending the pictures of their marvellous builds on our facebook page, we cannot be grateful more.    As we would not be able to finish our second Sunderland boxing, model SH72304 Sunderland Mk.III ‘Uboat-Killer’  in time for this mont

   As I promised a month ago, Special Hobby is now releasing the first of bunch model kits which  moulding tools we have bought from MK72. The Marder II is an excellent model oozing with fine detail and it no doubt falls perfectly into our Special Armour range of military vehicle models. More ex-MK72 models are to come of course. We are also going to add some our earlier, long time sold out injection moulded CMK kits to this range of products. The first to see the light in this new guise will be model no.T35010 Panzerbefehlswagen Pz.Bef. 35(t) in 1/35. Quite similarly, some sold out Azur and MPM Production models which the modellers keep asking for are to appear re-released under Special Hobby brand. And not just models previously released in other product ranges, some of the earlier and am not afraid to say successful Special Hobby items too are to get released again – such as the X-15A-2 in 1/32 for example, which in its time sold like a hot cake. So, as the customers have been ask
