Marco Rondelli has finished his another take on the Special Hobby Mirage F.1, this time in the form of an IRIAF airframe wearing a fancy coat of blue and pale grey. Trés chic, is it not?
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
If the world were as it used to be, I would have had the foreword to this month’s Newsletter finished long time ago. And by now, I would already have arrived to the Nuremberg Toy Fair and had met up with many of you in person.

This, too, pushes us to try and keep the mark of quality really high. And as we are unable to showcase the coming news in flesh and blood at the fair, we will be doing our best and bring
I would like to wish all our customers only the very best in 2021. We believe the upcoming year is going to be much better than the last one. Although 2020 was not unsuccessful for our company at all. Our plans for the first half of 2021 seem to be, at least to us, very interesting. One of the most exciting models we are going to release this spring is, no doubt, the Westland Whirlwind Mk.I in 1/32, which is in the final stage of preparations now. Just before being finished is yet another project which originates in our cooperation with Eduard. After the exquisite Bf 109 E-4, the Bf 109 E-3 version is going to hit the market this February, after that we are going to jointly produce the Tempest Mk.II. Our boxing will offer the so-called Hi-Tech style with resin detail parts including a partial replica of the engine with some of the cover panels open.
