Gardening the Danube
With a length of 2,845 km, the Danube is the second-longest river in Europe after the Volga. On almost 2,415 km (from Kelheim to Sulina) the river is navigable for international cargo transport. On its way from the Black Forest (Germany) to the Black Sea (Romania and Ukraine), the Danube passes by or through ten riparian states, which makes it the most international river in the world.

All About the Bays
Don’t panic people, I am not going into detailed descriptions surrounding the Battle of the Bay of Biscay, Danzig Bay or even the Bay of Pigs. They’re not the type of Bays I have in mind. I am more geared towards a good discussion of the wheel bays of our new 48th scale P-51B Mustang.

Air War in Ukraine - Summary of the Second Year of Conflict
Two years have passed since the senseless war began, bringing nothing but devastation, bloodshed, and ruin to all involved. Therefore, in today's continuation, we will look not only at the traditional monthly period (this time from February 1st to February 29th) but also at the summary of what happened in Ukraine in the second year of the conflict. But first, allow me a personal address.

1/72ND SCALE MODEL KIT L-410 TURBOLET BY GAVIA AND KP
In March of this year, the L-410 Turbolet kit in 1/72 scale was released under the Kovozávody Prostějov (KP) brand and entered the market. Upon comparing this kit's mouldings with those of the Gavia kit of the same type and scale, we have concluded that the KP kit is a direct copy of the Gavia kit released in 1997. The KP kit was created using plastic parts of Gavia kit based on master model made by Michal Vlačilík and Petr Podvala, the owners of Gavia company. The author of the KP kit most likely utilized mouldings that were acquired several years ago by owner of KP, Mr. Petr Muzikant as part of a delivery from the toolmaking company Pavel Vandělík.

Hartmann's Gustav
With 352 victories to his credit, Erich Hartmann is a fighter pilot whose name is known even to people who are not interested in the Luftwaffe. A significant topic is the number of his victories and their credibility. Of Erich Hartmann's first 100 victories, 38 claimed kills can be compared in detail with Soviet losses, as the time and place of these kills are known. I am basing this on a summary prepared by Danny Case and Nick Hector. For these 38 victories, it is impossible to trace on the opposing side 13 losses that match the circumstances of the alleged shootdowns.

Swap Meets, Shows and Contests…
This year, my exhibition team colleagues got down to business pretty quickly. We have only completed the first three months of this year and we have already visited five events: the toy fair in Nuremberg, the toy fair in Verona, the modeling festival in Bytom, the Panthers Cup modeling competition in Prosek and the exhibition of plastic models at the event known here as Easter Prostějov. I think this represents a record, and if by some chance it doesn’t, it was definitely a record performance for our exhibition teams in March, with, apart from the first weekend of the month, they were at one event or another and believe me it was a real buzz.
