Soon to be released 1/72 scale SH72492 F-84F Thunderstreak ‘Operation Musketeer / Kadesh’ kit offers a trio of really striking colour schemes. Which of them will be your chosen one?

 Our Hi.Tech format 1/32 scale Westland Whirlwind FB Mk.I kit covers four colour schemes of the fighter-bomber variety of the iconic British twin engine aeroplane. The decals come on two sheets and besides these, you will get in the kit also a pair of photo-etched frets, one of which are steel and come pre-painted, then also a set of masks for both the inside and outside of the canopy glazing, plus a set of resin cast and 3D-printed finely detailed parts of the nose cannon compartment and the cockpit.

Our most recent new release which also gets very welcome attention (and rightfully deserved) from modellers is the 1/72 scale  SH72395  ‘US Swept-wing Thunder’. Today's photos will give you to make your opinion.

The 3D-printed WW1-era Vickers machine gun set is among our many new releases for this October. Set no. P35021 covers two alternative barrel styles and a few ammo magazines.

The WW2 vintage type is being under development now.

Since the month of October marks the anniversary of the Operation Musketeer / Kadesh, i.e. the Suez Crisis, we have prepared the second release of the F-84F Thunderstreak model kit in markings of the machines that took part in said operation. Another new item is the 1/72 P-40M Warhawk 'Involuntarily from Russia to Finland' kit, charting a very engaging story about a captured and secretly used aircraft. The last of the three new releases is the Hi-Tech kit of the 1/32 scale Westland Whirlwind FB MK.I. The kit is literally packed up to the brim with accessories. The model SH72439 Bf 109E-4 also gets back to our offer, now in a re-release. Among the resin and 3D printed kits and accessories range, I would like to particularly reco...
