Last week, the Special Hobby Blog and Facebook page brought the rendered image of the first sprue of our upcoming 1/72 Mirage III/5 family of kits. And to put it just very mildly, the news aroused really great interest among the modelling community. I think we can expect a really successful autumn this year. But let us not jump to conclusions, there still is spring outside the windows. Unfortunately, this year seems to be quite different from the previous ones. But perhaps we are lucky as we keep avoiding the disease, the factory is still running, making, supplying and preparing new exciting models and sets for you.
So, this spring brings you, among other stuff, also the re-release of the 1/72 scale Piaggio P.108B Italian four-engined bomber containing also one new sprue of styrene parts. And as this re-release is available in a limited amount only, do not hesitate and grab yours while it still is around. I would also like to recommend to your attention our new 1/48 Grunau Baby model, which arguably was the most widespread pre-war era glider. This kit has been designed using our 3D CAD CAM equipment and is produced using metal type moulds. There is also a new version of the Sunderland in the making just now, this is to be the war-era Mk.III variety in boxing named the ‘U-boot Killers‘. Two of the picked aiframes have an enemy submarine each under their belts, so to speak, whilst the third one is famous for winning a combat against German Ju-88 long range fighters.
The new resin kits and sets also cannot be omitted, really very interesting is the new series of the new JLTV US military vehicle models. These resin kits contain clear resin cast windows, and the first to become available in the hobby shops is already mentioned in this month’s newsletter. So and here they are, our new products to appear on the shelves this May:
