A 1/48 HKM B-17G (Early) kit to tempt you instead :smiling3:

It's a good job it's not the Lancaster I would have to go sell a kidney....

Think you might find that will be their next kit. They've just released the 1/32 kit. And yes i'd have to think about getting one too

[Dave Ward]

Here's a little teaser for the 1/32 aficionados on the Special Hobby Facebook page..............

Wing moulds for their 1/32 Westland Whirlwind!

Nice...I still have to fine a replacement canopy for my Classic Airframes 1/48 Whirlwind kit before I can even think of a 1/32 kit.

Cheers,
Richard

The trumpy 1/48 kit is pretty good apart from the decals......this looks good though....always loved the Whirlwind, vastly underrated aircraft....

On the Zvezda Facebook page - available soon - Boxart & pics of their upcoming 'Mustang'
474 parts, but no PE! - can't help thinking that Zvezda are losing out

On the ICM website - ' in process '

A previous release had the open frame loadbed.


2 reboxings, I think



That may be the correct equipment for a City of London WPC, but I have yet to see my local WPCs armed!

Following on from the German road signs. I suppose next will be Italian road signs.............

It looks a lot like the shapes of the signs are exactly the same, so they just used the same sprues with new decals … smart from their point of view, but to be honest, with computers being what they have been for the last 20 years or so, who actually needs a set of street signs?

hobbycraft selling the 1/48 Meteor F.8 for £27.50 :-) picked last one up in Telford, saving £9.00. Other Airfix Meteors still at £37.00

Ahem! Just seen a post from the author/model maker Tom Cleaver who has talked to Neil Yan (owner of HK Models). Neil says that in the next 6 months or so HK Models is going to release 1/48 kits of the B-17E/F, Lancaster and B-25J (gunship version too).

Best you (and me) start saving Ian

On the MiniArt Facebook page, painted models of their upcoming Soviet Tram
Looks like a nice model - but I find it hard to raise any enthusiasm over a tram.............

On the ICM website - available soon,
That looks like a bit of a painting challenge...........

I made the ICM recon version of the Foxbat last year, and it is still one of the best models I have ever been privileged to make - the camo strike version should be stunning!
