UMM Tools now available in SH e-shop

 We have recently added the UMM tools to all the useful things available through our e-shop. The UMM label was created and is based on the skills and finesse of the well-known US-based modeller Johny Vojtech who happens to have Czech roots, too. On our e-shop you can find a couple of scribing tools and micro-chisels which are good for scribing of course but equally for removing excess plastic such us ejector pin stubs for example. Then we also have two types of tweezers-sprue cutters that can very well cut off the sprues as well as hold the parts themselves. All these very handy tools are based on Johny's life-long modelling experience who has designed and tested all of them himself. And as he no doubt is an excellent model builder (IPMS USA champion several times) you can bet on them being useful to you too. Some of the tools have been also tested here by our staff to complete satisfaction. The photos show just a small part of all the tools available, all of them via the link above.

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
