Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The winter wave of covid is subsiding
a bit with the coming of spring, but we
are still testing our workers on a re
-
gular basis, even though it’s been over
a month since we have had a positive case,
and we have no one ill at the moment.
At least, not due to covid. The restock of
our catalog is progressing slowly, but it is
continuing. We are up to the Tempest kits,
which could see stocked shelves through
May, and in June, there should be a reissue
of the Tempest Mk.V Series I kit. The MiG
-
-21s in 1:48th are beginning their production
run, and May should also see the initiation
of the Spitfire Mk.IXs, along with their as
-
sociated versions, the Mk.VIII and Mk.XVI.
In June, we may be able to focus some
attention on the Hellcats, and on the Fw 190D
through the summer months. By then, we’ll
be into some of the 1:72nd scale items as
well. Production of new molds is going well,
too, and the Camel moulds are essentia
-
lly complete. The Trener moulds have their
electrodes, and parts are being milled into
the blocks now. We are putting together the
manuscript for the video advert for the Tre
-
ner kits, which I am getting a kick out of, and
I trust you will enjoy the end result. But the
filming itself requires a fairly large number
of Treners, and by that, I mean the genui
-
ne articles, not models. We make the latter
ourselves, no worries. We are confident that
we will be able to present the Trener kit at
this year’s E-day as a new release, and the
question isn’t whether or not this will be po
-
ssible. The bigger question is whether or not
this dumb pandemic can be beaten, and if it
will bring about the return of the modeling
events that we are familiar with as being
normal. I personally believe that the answer
is yes, and that we will be able to meet at
Lysa nad Labem, and that it will be the first
E-day to be put on in accordance with the
vision based on the new format inclusive
of the Czech Model Masters contest. I also
believe that we will be at Las Vegas for the
IPMS Nationals in the United States and at
Telford in November.
KITS
May is unique in that we have no new Limited
Edition kit for release in this month. We were
to have put out the 1:72nd scale Adlerangriff
kit with different Special Hobby Bf 109Es. But,
as is clear, it is not part of May’s release pro
-
gram. The problem is rooted in the underes-
timation by Special Hobby of the demand for
the kit, and the first two press cycles of the
kit did not yield enough plastic to cover or
-
ders. So we left our order for these kits to SH
for their needs, and we pushed the release
date of ours to July. But that July order is
OURS! We won’t be leaving that one to them.
Conversely, we moved the release of the
1:48th scale Fw 190F-8 from July to May, and
it’s the ProfiPACK version. The Focke Wulf
is bound to make a lot of people happy, but
I get that it does nothing for the 1:72nd types
among you. The Fw 190F-8 stems from the
Fw 190A-8, but has a new wing and two spru-
es of weapons for attacking ground targets.
The sprues with the weapons are the same as
those that appeared in the first generation of
the Fw 190F-8 that we released some years
back. There are seven markings options in
the kit, and they intentionally cover the ma
-
jority of the spectrum of Luftwaffe units that
flew the type. The theme of the ground attack
Fw 190F-8s is further taken up in this
newsletter via an article by Andrew Arthy.
In the past several months, there was quite
a bit of interest in the Panzerschreck wea
-
pons, which were carried by the Fw 190F-
8. The question has also been raised as to
whether we would release these as Brassin
items, and the answer to that question is
‘yes’. But I must point out that this somewhat
iconic piece of equipment suffers from a lack
of good reference material. So, we ask the
harsher critics out there to be a little bit for
-
giving. We are doing what we can.
Another May ProfiPACK is the Mustang Mk.IV,
the British version of the P-51D, as well as
the P-51K, which was known in the RAF as
the Mustang Mk.IVa. In the ProfiPACK kit, the
Mk.IVa outnumbers the Mk.IV in a ratio of 2:1,
with there being a total of four K’s. I alwa
-
ys tended to view the British versions of the
Mustang as somewhat boring, but, of cour
-
se, in researching the marking options, I, as
many before me, have done an about face.
You will probably come to the same conclusi
-
on yourselves. The options are quite outstan-
ding, as are the individual stories connected
with them. The boxart again depicts an actu
-
al event. In this case, it concerns Operation
Omelette, an operation that focused on the li
-
beration of the Channel Islands, the only part
of the United Kingdom to be occupied by Nazi
Germany. You can read more on this opera
-
tion in the accompanying article by Richard
Plos in this newsletter. To go along with the
Mustang Mk.IV, we will also be releasing
a BFC item, dedicated to one of the most de-
picted of the British Mustangs, flown by F/Lt.
A.S. Doley, named ‘Dooleybird’.
And that’s not all for the ProfiPACK re
-
leases this month. The other is the Bf 109G-
2. Actually, this one is a sort of a ‘re-issue’
and is largely the same as the Bf 109G-2
ProfiPACK kit carrying the Catalog Num
-
ber 82116. It has a new boxart, because the
original one was…how to put it?....nothing to
write home about. It also differs in one of
the marking options provided, because the
one that it replaces required the inclusion
of the plastic sprue containing a G-4 wing.
At the moment, plastic parts are at a pre-
mium for us, and so we really need to go
out of our way to use them to optimal effect,
accounting for the change in the marking op
-
tions, taking advantage of the elimination of
the need for that sprue. The last of the four
May ProfiPACK releases is a clean reissue.
It is the MiG-21MF Fighter Bomber in 1:72nd
scale. The boxart depicts Vietnamese figh
-
ter ace and future cosmonaut Pham Tuan
downing a B-52. Back in the day, this pictu
-
re caused a lot of commotion from across
the pond and I am hopeful that we wont see
a repeat of that this time around. The last
of the five May mode kit releases is the Al
-
batros D.V in a 1:72nd scale Weekend Editi-
on boxing. This kit’s a classic for which we
have chosen four attractive marking options,
which has now become the norm for this line.
