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.

The end of yet another year is inevitably coming. It has been long thirty years now since the so-called Velvet revolution in our country, the event which marked the end of the cruel communist regime in November 1989. After a long period of darkness, we were able to return to a free life and began to rebuild democracy, once again in our post-war history. And although the very first model kits bearing the now famous MPM logo on their boxes had begun to appear on the shop shelves back in 1989, the MPM company was officially established only the next year, in 1990. So in 2020, we are going to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of MPM (now Special Hobby) in the model industry. 
   But first things first, it is the time now to announce the new models we have prepared for the this December. After some delay, we are happy to be able to bring you the 1/72 CV-707 Vesikko (SN72004), a model of the Finnish WW2 submarine. But what seems to be really the most important amongst the December new i…

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 n…

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.
