Stuka gets her legs, with and without spats, plus a few more behind-the-scenes bits and bobs

   The Junkers Ju 87D-5 mould already starts to show what it hold in the future for the modellers - the new undercarriage legs in two styles, either with the wheel spats or without them. Also a couple of other new parts slowly get their expected form and shape, e.g. the new rudder. This all can be seen in the first three images. 
   Then, we are glad to have one of our best packaging lady colleagues back from her surgery and as it seems in good health again - and the amount of new Bugatti kits that she managed to complete during the first hour and a half of her yesterday's shift can be seen on the fourth photo. So, the good news for the modeller is that the Blue Bugatti, our new release for this January, can already be get via our eshop.
   And the final piece of good news for today, the 1/48 resin cast Classic Arframes Focke Wulf Fw 190V-1 is also back for those who fancy such unusual birds

Very first 2023 surprise for you from SH - the 1/72 F-84F Thunderstreak aka Super Hog

   2023 holds several surprises for you up its sleeve and the very first one is here today, the 1/72 scale F-84F Thunderstreak. This swept wing jet, alongside its predecessor the F-84F Thunderjet (straight winged) is no doubt one of the symbols of the Cold War early stages. And also an iconit jet of the NATO defence alliance. The USAF operated their Thunderstreaks, also affectively known as Super Hogs, both in the USA and over Europe. In the UK, the 20th TBW USAF F-84F jets were also fitted with a special underwing rack that enabled them to carry and deliver a tactical nuke. Deliveries of the F-84F made the Europe's air forces, from the very north down to the southern NATO flank, much stronger and effective and the jet kept flying from mid 1950s up to the early 70s and with some forces even longer. Besides Europe, the F-84F was also operated over Israel during the Suez War (manned by their French crew even though bearing Israeli markings to disguise France's involvement) and al

News from Special Hobby 02/2024

Dear business friends,      The Nuremberg fair is over now. Despite some chaos in the organisation before the start of the fair, we can say we are quite satisfied with our participation and the fair itself. Compared to last year, the first post-covid year, the exhibitors were much more plentiful this year. Many more traders and distributors also arrived at the meeting. So we practically did not have the chance to stop for a while. This, of course, filled us with optimism as it was nice to meet you all in person. When I write about personal meetings, I was most impressed by meetings with colleagues from Ukrainian companies. War is terrible. It's one thing to watch it from the comfort of your home on TV news, and another to hear about personal experience with Russian missile and drone attacks on civilian targets. Working and creating kits in such conditions is extremely difficult. I hope that Ukraine will receive much more aid than it is receiving today and that European politicians
