GUSTAV Part Two
In the second part of our Gustav VI article, we will focus on armament and equipment upgrade and conversion sets, take a gander at the reconnaissance versions of the Bf 109 G-6 including the recce specific Bf 109 G-8, we’ll describe the high-altitude Bf 109 G-5 and finally, we will take a look at the Bf 109 G-14, a de facto summary of all modifications and improvements continuously introduced into production during the long development of the Bf 109 G-6 series and its variants.

SAVOIA MARCHETTI SM.79
Talking about a famous aircraft like the Savoia Marchetti SM.79 isn't easy, a lot has been written about it and, more or less, everything has already been said. To do it in an article is even more difficult since it’s very complex to summarize the very rich and exciting history of such a legendary aircraft. Nonetheless the development history of the SM.79 looks rather simple, a handful of well defined steps brought about, in a natural way, changes in aircraft production and evolutions in its service.

Air War in Ukraine - Wish for something, the red stars are falling!
In the period covered by this part of the series, the Russian air force suffered some of the highest losses in the air, excluding the initial months of the invasion. Between December 1 and December 31, 2023, Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense shot down five to seven Russian aircraft, including one helicopter being taken out of service. Systematic attacks also continued in the occupied Crimea and the ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Unfortunately, at the end of the observed period, the Russians launched long-awaited winter missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.

The second youngest
A man on one of the many hospital beds is breathing rapidly, a worried nurse regularly wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead. The slender young man with delicate features and premature wrinkles around his eyes suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh in an aerial combat a few days ago and lost a lot of blood because of it. But that doesn’t worry the doctors nearly as much as the inflammation that is slowly but surely poisoning his entire body. Just twenty years old, Olivier Freiherr von Beaulieu-Marconnay is losing his fight for life, meanwhile far away in Germany a paper-pusher is now rushing to bestow the highest honour, the Pour le Mérite, on the exceptional young man before his death...

How to apply Eduard decals
On various modelling forums, in discussions, but also in messages from customers, there are repeated questions about “the new Eduard decals”, how to work with them, how to peel off the covering varnish film and what the decals actually are. In this article I would like to answer these questions and give the modelers a better understanding of how to work with these decals.
