Kits for the 1/72 Airfix Junkers Ju 52 3mG4e (new tool)

    Among the new items in the October newsletter, you’ll find two sets for the new 1/72 Junkers Ju 52 3mG4e kit. Set 7538 offers 3D-printed cockpit enhancements, and set 7539 offers cast main landing gear wheels along with 3D-printed main wheel rims, tail skid, and tail wheel. The tail skid is printed from a special, hard material.
We are preparing at least three more sets: a complete set of three engines, a set with details to enhance the model’s exterior, and a set for the dorsal gun turret.

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.

I estimate that we will be able to begin distributing the delayed TP-40N no earlier than 25 October.    Among the sets in the October newsletter, you will find, for example, additional sets for the 1/48 Baltimore, sets for the 1/48 Bücker Bü 181, and the first of the sets we have prepared for Airfix’s new 1/72 Junkers Ju 52. We will release further sets for the Junkers Ju 52 in November.    The November newsletter will feature the 1/48 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 (ex-Classic Airfra...
