release. The kits will be
themselves less com-
plex, but ready for in-
clusion of the accesso-
ries, if and as desired.
So, for example, the anticipa-
ted Bf 109F will not have an inje-
ction molded engine as the Bf 109E did.
The Friedrich will be simpler in this respect,
but will have the same high standard of essential
details such as surface details. The benet of this
will be a signicantly lower base price for a very
well executed kit, with the option of raising the
level of detail via the Brassin sets. Incidentally,
we have recently contemplated how to best exe-
cute the gun troughs of the fuselage weapons.
The demolding of these has led to different soluti-
ons from different manufacturers, usually leading
to the cutting off of the upper cowling. We chose
a different route, and have chosen to separate just
the troughs. This is how it was on the real thing.
Don’t be worried about t problems of this part;
the t will be excellent. The designer, Stan Arch-
man, who put through his proposal for this feature,
has assured me that if the t is less than perfect,
he will sweep the property for two months.
He hates sweeping. If the t is less than per-
fect, his Christmas bonus will consist of a brand-
spanking new wire broom. I think his risk is real-
ly small….he was responsible for the OEFFAG,
and my condence is inversely proportional to
his risk.
At the end of June, we will be in Brno, at Modell-
Brno. We’re looking forward to it! Although the
OEFFAG is now slated for July, there is a chance
we will have some of them at Brno, which is at the
end of June. Personally, I am pushing the boys
and girls to that end. In any case, we will be taking
a lot of new items to Brno, and should the Su-22
be selling out by then, some will be held back for
the show. Besides that, we’ll have a load of new
PE for the show, as well as new Brassin sets.
Keep on Modelin’!

The Brassin engine will also be applicable
to the Bf 109E-1 Weekend Edition, slated for August, 2010.
