The reason for the Temco company to have chosen the name Temco for their training jet remains hidden to us.  Be that as it may, all of US Navy's Pintos flew in yellow overall. And this is exactly what Martin Pfeifer's nicely finished kit also looks like. Martin has built the model using our  PLT287  kit which is a second generation of the Planet Model range, now consisting of resin cast parts and finely 3D-printed parts. And this yellow beast does look quite tempting, would you not say?

Trumpeter's 1/48 Barracuda kit simply asks for some improvement here and there so a couple of our sets is here to help you ammend that areas. Set  P48040  covers the exhausts which are now correctly shaped, the other set no.  P48041  tackles the propeller and spinner of the proper diameter, shape and size.

 Les Venus has recently built this awesome looking Airfix's 1/48 Lysander, turning it into the Mk.III(SD) version with the help of our 3D-printed set no. 4495. Thank you Les for the photos! Great job.

Beside conversion sets  4495 ,  4497 and exhausts  P48039 , we would also like to tempt you for something to hang on the Lizzie's stub wing. Airborn Sea Rescue (ASR) set  4500  is already available as is Bomb Ordnance set  4501  which offers two styles (early/late) of the 250lb GP bombs along with eight smaller HE bomblets. In a few days we are also releasing set 4502 named Lysander Practice Bombs offering eight smallish bombs on their series carrier (as the smaller rack was called back in the time) and these parts directly replace the styrene parts of the Airfix kit and of course, offer much better detail all around. In the pipeline for the 1/48 Lysander kit is also a trio of machine gun sets, with the Vickers, Lewis and Browning twin respectively. If you haven't started to build your Lizzie yet, you might consider some rather straightforward wing surgery allowing you to display the outer slat sections deployed. This will be made quite easy with our f...

We have received photos of this absolutely top notch finished Aermacchi MB. 326 E. It was built from a 1/48 Italeri kit by Angelo Lodetti. When building the model, the prototype of which flew with the 602nd Connections Squadron, 2nd Wing, Treviso in 1985, Angelo used CMK sets, namely  4492  MB. 326 Control Surface and  4493  MB. 326 Cockpit sets. Thanks to Angelo's great photos, you can also see these accessories in detail, before and after installation and painting. (We also offer the  4496  MB. 326 Open Electronic Nose Box set) Our huge thank you goes to Italy to to Angelo Lodetti
