As it seems, no-one really knows how Brexit is going to turn out eventually, whether it happens in the end and when. Unfortunatelly, this also affects our intended attendance at the Scale Model World in Telford, we cannot tell as for now whether or not we will participate. What we do know though is what models are currently being prepared for you at SH. 

    In the previous edition of our Newsletter, a brand new 1/72 scale family of the Meteor night fighters was mentioned as well as the Reggiane Re 2000 Falco and 2005 Sagittario, both in the quarter scale. While the earlier is about to arrive on the hobby shop shelves these days, the latter will need some more time to do so – we think you might expect them in very early 2020. But from your posts on Facebook we really can say that you guys waiting for the Regiannes are already becoming quite impatient.

   The end of this year is going to be topped off with the release of yet another of the Duo Pack & Book series model, which will offer the Mirage F.1 kits this time, in both the single seat and two seat version in many colourful and eye-catching schemes accompanied, of course, by a photographic publication on the subject.

The Vesikko Submarine model was originally meant to appear on the market
this November. However, we need to put the release date off until
December because of some technological issues with the moulding tools.
We are deeply sorry for that.

RESIN KITS & SETS

Harrier GR.7 interior

This set offers a new, detailed resin cast interior made for the Hasegawa’s Harrier GR.7. The new parts are a direct replacement for the kit’s less-detailed item. Photo-etched parts are incuded.

Operators: GB/Modern

Tempest Mk.II Bristol Centaurus engine  (port side profile)

A port side half of the Tempest’s Bristol Centaurus powerplant as used in the Mk.II version of the British fighter aeroplane. The installation in the kit is rather straightforward and despite the open port side engine panels, the profile of the airframe remains undisrupted.

Operators: GB/ WWII/-post WWII

Siebel Si 204/Aero C-3 Airman (cleaning canopy glazing)

This set offers a resin figure of a ground crew member portrayed while polishing the nose glazing of a Siebel Si 204 / Aero C-3A aircraft. The airman stands on a pair of steps with a bucket put beside him. The master pattern was designed on a period photograph, hence the very natural and realistic-looking pose of the figure. 
Can be used as either a German Luftwaffe or Czechoslovak Air Force mechanic (the post-war CzAF personnel wore ex-German gear)

Operators: Germany/Czechoslovakia / WWII/-post WWII

B-25C/D pilot`s cockpit and radio compartment

This resin set comes with a fret of photo etches and brings much more details to the Airfix’s new B-25 Mitchel. The areas which will no doubt benefit from the addition of this set are the cockpit and the radiooperator’s compartment. The PE fret offers a new instrument panel, handwheel of the control column, rudder pedals and seat belts.

Operators: USA, GB/WWII
