SH48203 Grunau Baby IIB smelling of wood and varnish - by Andreas Dyck

Mr. Andreas Dyck was so very kind to share with the readers of our blog a few and really nice photos depicting his even more tempting build, the 1/48 Grunau Baby IIB. The kit set Andreas used was the 1/48 SH48203 Grunau Baby IIB/Nord 1300 'Over Western Europe'. Is it just me or do you also smell the varnished wood?

Dear Business Friends,    In the September instalment of Special Hobby Newsletter, you are going to read about only one large scale model, the 1/32 Fiat G.50bis that comes in the bomber and navalized versions. All the other model kits are in 1/72 scale, and these are the P-40N fighter that sports very attractive schemes, really very colourful inter-war B-12A bomber as well as the re-issue of our 1/72 scale SMB.2 French jet fighter.    The detailing sets for this month contain the third set for our 1/48 SF-260 nice little kit (the two previous sets became available last month), the most interesting of the new sets is the wide variety of new details for ICM's 1/48 scale B-26B Marauder kit. Some more sets for this model are to be announced in October.     Not a long while ago, our range of model kits got a nice addition in the form of the 1/72 SH72505 F-84F Thunderstreak ‘Reborn Luftwaffe’ model.

Although this is also related to the air, it is a model of the first combat-used tactical surface-to-surface missile, the German Rheinbote. We prepared this including the launcher. It was based on the V2 Meilerwaggen missile launcher. Other new items are the 1/72 scale SMB-2 jet fighter in IAF colours and the twin-engine and twin-fuselage F-82 Twin Mustang and the 1/48 Romeo Ro.43 observation and reconnaissance aircraft in the colours of the Italian and Spanish navies.    Seven other new items made of resin or printed by 3D printing. Their offer is very diverse. From cast wheels for 1/72 Beaufighter and E-2 Hawkeye, through 1/48 cast armament set for OV-10 Bronco and 3D printed engine set for Heinkel He 115B to even the GAL 48B Twin Hotspur biplane.
