New 1/48 Release: Martin Baltimore Mk.I/II 'First Version in Combat' is now on sale!

 Dear modelers and Special Hobby fans,

We are delighted to announce that one of this year’s most anticipated new releases in 1/48 scale has just arrived in our e-shop—the Martin Baltimore Mk.I/II 'First Version in Combat' (cat. no. SH48160).

This elegant American twin-engine light attack bomber was built specifically for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and left an indelible mark, particularly in the battles over North Africa and the Mediterranean, including the famous Battle of El Alamein.

Our brand-new kit, cast from brand-new metal molds, faithfully captures these early versions from their first combat deployments.

  • A completely new kit cast from metal molds with fine surface detail.
  • Precisely crafted interior, engine bulkheads, and landing gear bays.
  • Build options: You can build the Mk.I version with a single dorsal defensive machine gun, or the Mk.II version equipped with a twin-barreled machine gun.
  • Four attractive camouflage schemes from battles in the desert and the Mediterranean.

Some setbacks had already appeared before the final and most crucial stages of the Blue Bird project, but when we got to finals, almost every aspect went simply wrong and the project got stuck. So, here we are now, the Blue Bird coming your way with a month of delay.    Other good news is, all the other models and sets are ready for you now, rea...

Heinkel He 177A in 1/48 - not the same old bird

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.
