Dear business friends,
This year’s first big event in a modeller’s calendar, the 2023 Nuremberg Toy Fair is over. We had been considering our participation this time as, after all, the fair was cancelled twice the previous years due to the global pandemic. And in the end we chose to attend it and it was a very good decision indeed. Even though there were fewer exhibitors than usually, mainly those from Asia, it was clear that Nuremberg is the very place where the best of trade deals are made. So, I would like to thank you all who visited our booth and I also hope you have returned to your, and often quite distant, homes safely after the event. It was definitely a great pleasure to be able to meet you all. And to those of the customers who did not make it to Nuremberg this year, I cannot but recommend to visit next year. In connection with the fair, we have made announcements of the majority of our new models coming to the market in 2023. The list also attached to this Newsletter. That said, I also would like temp you to a few more coming projects that have not been unveiled yet as they remain a surprise, yes we do like to bring several surprises to our custmers and partners throughout the year.
And one tiny suprise is here for you right now as this month’s Newsletter is going to announce not the usual trio of models but as many as five of them! Two of these five are 1/48 scale models, the Oxford with a gun turret is a representative of WW2 aeroplanes while the SK-37 Viggen belongs to much more modern times, the jet fighter aeroplanes era. Next we have a trio of 1/72 scale models for you, the Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1/B is a fighter-bomber subverison of the Emil fighter and the kit also contains a resin made bomb carrier with four bombs, then the P-40D Warhawk/Kittyhawk Mk.I is a quite rare and in very low numbers produced version of the iconic Warhawk fighter. The kit is also limited edition and has really interesting scheme options, so do not hesitate with your orders. And lastly in this scale is the DB-8A/3N commemorating the brave Dutch airmen defending the Netherlands in 1940.
From all our resin cast and 3D-printed sets, let me now focus on the 3D-printed 1/35 scale MG3 machine gun which is a contemporary weapon in use with many armies worldwide, it also makes the secondary armament of tanks, armored and also non-armoured vehicles. And sadly, in many a kit of such vehicles, the weapon is repicted rather poorly. So we would assume that modellers will appreciate this piece of military inventory. And on the very top of our accesorries in the 1/48 scale arguably is the 3D-printed Centaurus engine with the covering panels removed. This power plant set is designed to fit the Eduard/Special Hobby Tempest Mk.II kits. In 1/72, we also have for you two sets for Revell’s PT Boat kits. And we hope that the other new items mentioned in this Newsletter will be of interest to you. So we do look forward to your orders.
We would like inform you that as of 1 April 2023 we will have to adjust our prices. It is not going to be just an increase, the prices will change in both directions, up and down within a maximum range of 10%.
Unfortunately, this way we need to respond to the changes of raw materials and energy prices.
The new price lists will be ready by the March Newsletter release date, however all orders received before 31 March 2023 will be invoiced at the original prices.
