 Today, Brano Herein shares with us a handful of images showing one of his latest builds, the very nicely finished 1/72 scale SH72341 Heinkel He 162A Spatz. As always, very big thank you, Brano! And now it is our turn to mention the various sets Special Hobby produce for this very model, see in the photos below Brano's model. One of the sets did not make it in time when the photos were taken though, the pre-cut paint masks  M72030  for the clear parts and undercarriage wheels.

This September will also see the release of 1/72 scale SH72430 Supermarine Sea Otter Mk.I/ASR Mk.II 'Foreign Service' kit. The schemes cover three machines as flown in France, the Netherlands and Denmark. And as the kit contains various alternative parts, the modeller will be able to build either the Mk.I version or the air-sea rescue ASR Mk.II variety.

 Kamil Felix Sztrabala, an amazing Polish model builder and review writer, has recently finished his take on Special Hobby's 1/72 SH72341 Heinkel He162A kit. His findings are to be published in widely respected modelling magazine.

As he says, he can only praise this kit which is one of the most recent kits produced at SH - equal in quality with the new 1/72 Bf 109E which is now sitting on his work table. A. Pavlas nám poslal fotografie postaveného modelu SH72341 Heinkel He 162A 1/72 . Jeden z posledních modelů z naší produkce velmi chválí.

The decal sheet of Special Hobby's March release, the famous ‘Volksjaeger’ He 162A Spatz German WWII jet fighter caters for four marking schemes. The sheet also contains decals of the instrument panel and seat belts. The idea was to bring machines interesting both for their appearance and the pilots who flew them.

Staffel, JG 1, at Leck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, May 1945. Yellow 11 was manufactured at EHAG in Rostock. Demuth’s 16 victory markings painted on the tail fin were in fact gained while flying another fighters earlier in his military career. Most of his victories were USAAF four engine bomber planes.
