A new addition to Patrick Branly's showcase is here today in the form of a pair of 1/72 Gamma monoplane models. Both of them have been built from a Gamma Bomber kit set made for our Azur/Frrom partners in France. The first built model depicts a production Chinese Gamma 2E and was built from the box without any modifications. The other model is a development prototype Gamma 5B that was delivered to Spain in the time of the Civil War. This model is built with the addition of a set of conversion parts that we made also for Azur/Frrom. Both of Patrick's model do look fabulous and also show how wide and varied was the history of the type that was the predecessor to the iconic SBD Dauntles and A-17/DB-8 types.

Earlier today our tool making colleagues trialed a moulding tool for 1/72 Helldiver and 1/72 and 1/48 Lloyds. There are still some finishing touches to be done to the mould so as to prevent short shot on some parts (eg Lloyd struts) and flash on others. We also began producing the very last sprue to come to the Gamma 2E kit which is designed for our partner, Azur/Frrom from France. This model will offer three Chinese scheme options and one British. We will have only very limited amount of this release available for our local customers.
