The upcoming Bloch MB 210 model kit is getting closer to its final stages with each day. Our team are now working on the clear parts moulds, the smaller parts one has been made already. The 1/72 KFK is being machined as well...

Today's photos take closer looks at the  progress our toolmakers have made with a few of the latest projects' moulds. While the 1/72 KFK (or Kriegsfischkutter boat) waits for some more tweaks, the 1/72 MB 210 mould insert is clamped to the milling machine getting the complex shapes done. This Marcel Bloch kit is to appear in Azur/Frrom boxes first, followed by our own release later.

At the moment, the moulds clamped to the machines and being worked on are those for the 1/72 Aero 11 model (the second half of the wings mould) plus that with the 1/72 SPAD 510 small parts. The latter model is a bespoke project made to order from Azur/Frrom and is to be released in two boxings. And as usual with other models of this French company, a limited quantity will be available also for domestic (i.e. Czech) customers via our e-shop to avoid extra costs of transporting back to our country from France.  The next set of today's images show the 1/72 Kriegsfischkutter model moulds - which are those treated with elecrto plating and are about to be put into the mould frames. The surface does not necessarily look appealing just yet, let us assure you the moulds will get a proper clean up.
