So the least complicated moulding tool of the Kriegsfischkutter model has been finished now, this one being the stand mould. And the E tool of the Bloch MB 210 is being worked on as some tiny detail still need a bit of improvement. In a couple of days' time we are also going to attend to the clear parts moulding tool.

 The first boxing of 1/72 scale Azur/Frrom Bloch MB 210, cat.no. FR0055 offers the following three schemes...

   One of our latest releases, the 'Island Warrior" boxing of the 1/72 P-40N kit will soon get this welcome addition, the undewing bomb racks with a pair of 500lb GP bombs. Some of the parts shown in the images today may seem to you a bit on the hefty side. Just please be aware what you see is quite enlarged 1/72 item.

One of the most successful products of recent times is the 1/72 RAF air personnel figure set complete with battery trolley F72402 Tempest Pilot, Dog and Mechanic with Accumulator Trolley. We decided to enlarge part of this set to 1/48 scale. On Thursday, the pilot and the dog dropped out of this group. We are doing the pilot solo. Separately sitting in the Tempest, on the one hand directly Clostermann - set F48151 and then noname pilot - set F48355. We also make a standing RAF pilot - F48355. You have to marry the dog. But the mechanic and the battery cart will be very detailed. You will see them during the fall of this year. During the autumn, the RAF Accumulator Trolley 1/72 will also appear in our offer separately without figures.

September's new releases include the reissue of the SH72345 SMB-2 Super Mystère 'Sa'ar – Israeli Storm in the Sky' 1/72 kit. For this kit, we prepared the 3D printed ladder P72026 in advance. The kit SH72388 Mirage F.1C/C-200 'Armée de l'Air' 1/72 is being prepared in a reissue for October. We are not yet planning any additional accessories for this kit, but we offer a lot of them, from seats to figurines.  

It hasn't been that long since we expanded our range with the SH72505 F-84F Thunderstreak 'Reborn Luftwaffe' 1/72 kit. Each one of thess kits contained a fragment of a crashed F-84F. The had prepared 1000 examples which were sold almost immediately. We decided what to do next, but there are simply no more fragments. At the same time, we have done a lot of work in the preparation of camouflages and decals, and it would be a shame not to use the potential of the invested work more. We decided to prepare a kit with the cat. number SH72510, with the same camouflages and image. But if the first kit was exceptional, why not make the second one exceptional as well. The SH72510 kit will therefore include masks and a 3D printed set of open hull weapons. This kit will be on sale from October this year.  We would like to point out that next Saturday there is a senior plastic modeling championship. The event takes place in the representative premises of the Olympic Hotel in Prague and ...

Recently, Patrick Branly has been building not just Gamma  models but also this tiny beauty, the Nieuport NiD-52. It is a 1/72 Azur kit which is long sold out, but perhaps, sometimes we might decide for a re-release....

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. Each one of this kit also contained a real fragment of the F-84F that crash-landed on our...
