   It is my pleasure to use this opportunity now to say our huge thank you to all our customers for their cooperation and support in 2021. The year that has just passed was a very successful year for our company and we hope for no less in the new year, too. Why so? Well, do believe me that all the models we have in the pipeline for 2022 are no less attractive than those we released past year. You can start looking for the whole new family of the 1/72 MirageIII/5 kits, yet one more version of the massive (and massively successful, too) 1/72 Sunderland kit, believe me or not, the first releases of the two-stage Mosquitos are expected as well. The SH team are also working on a new Hudson tooling, and mentioning the quarter scale, we will have for you the gun turret- and bomb bay-equipped version of the Siebel Si 204E/Aero C-3B and also a whole new Baltimore in several versions, plus the Piper L-4, SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 and a somewhat improved Heinkel He 177.  The crème de la crème will

   Eighty-two years ago, two men with moustaches made, through their foreign ministers, the decision to divide Europe and in effect start the Second World War. A secret appendix to the so-called Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact also provided for an attack on Poland. On 1 September, 1939, the Wehrmacht invaded Poland. Three weeks later, the Red Army attacked from the other side. The joint attack on two fronts met the resistance from Polish forces which lasted only until 6 October, 1939. But already on 22 September, 1939, a joint military parade of both the Wehrmacht and the Red Army took place in Brest-Litovsk to celebrate the victory.    And now we wish to commemorate the brave Poles and their struggle by releasing the 1/72 model of the Potez 25 B2 Polish Jupiter ‘Against the Tide’. This version flew and fought only in Poland and almost every one of them was eventually destroyed during the September 1939 invasion. Another model in this newsletter is the 1/72 Sea Otter  Mk.I/ASR Mk.II 'For

This May’s top model is the quarterscale Tempest Mk.II, released in the Hi-Tech format and dubbed ‘The Last Radial RAF Fighter’. The Tempest Mk.II aeroplane belongs to the period just after WW2 when the last radial-engined fighter planes reached the limits of their performance. They were the very top of fighter planes of the time and in some respects outperformed even their jet counterparts. Along with the Eduard team, with whom this model kit has been prepared, we aimed for this model to become nothing less than the very best this category of models can offer. And let me say I am convinced we have succeeded in this goal. There is also one more new model to be released this month, the South-African Mirage F.1. The title of the kit has been chosen perhaps a bit controversial - ‘The South African Commie Killers’. But bear in mind please that in our country, the then Czechoslovakia, we had the chance to experience communism firsthand. And we do remember that this utopian ideology simply
