Small but Tough Warrior - SH72537 AT-6 Texan ‘Little Warrior’ 1/72

The American AT-6 Texan trainer could bare its teeth when necessary. Many air forces used Texans as light fighters or aerial spotters. Kit SH72537 offers you just such a tooth-baring Texan (and also one Harvard). The AT-6 Texan parts from Academy will be supplemented with a new frame of clear parts and photo-etched parts, just as was the case with kits SH72447 and SH72450. However, the most important addition to the kit will be the underwing armament, printed on a 3D printer. Since each air force used different types of pylons and weapons, the selection will be truly extensive. The box itself shows exactly which markings and armament you’ll find in the kit.

The 1/48 Heinkel He 177A is arguably one of our most asked for models long time out of production. Yes all we might do now is to inject a required number of sprues and restock the model and that would be it. But not, this is not what we aim for. Some of the original moulds have been replaced with new ones which can assure much better quality notable mainly in the smaller parts. The new moulds are 3D machined and the images below show very well the levels of detail this new method brings. This so to speak old-new bird is scheduled for 2023 release.

   It is my pleasure to use this opportunity now to say our huge thank you to all our customers for their cooperation and support in 2021. The year that has just passed was a very successful year for our company and we hope for no less in the new year, too. Why so? Well, do believe me that all the models we have in the pipeline for 2022 are no less attractive than those we released past year. You can start looking for the whole new family of the 1/72 MirageIII/5 kits, yet one more version of the massive (and massively successful, too) 1/72 Sunderland kit, believe me or not, the first releases of the two-stage Mosquitos are expected as well. The SH team are also working on a new Hudson tooling, and mentioning the quarter scale, we will have for you the gun turret- and bomb bay-equipped version of the Siebel Si 204E/Aero C-3B and also a whole new Baltimore in several versions, plus the Piper L-4, SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 and a somewhat improved Heinkel He 177.  The crème de la crème will ...
