which I strongly recommend reading

for the expansion of understanding

this subject.

The 1:72nd scale F6F-3 Hellcat

is being refreshed, with a new set

of markings and a new boxart for

a new ProfiPACK release. Both of

these new kits inject a new life into

the subject matters they represent.

The fourth July kit release is of the

Bf 108, with two attractive civil schemes from which to choose.

Turning our attention to accessory items, please note the 48th scale

Brassin items for the Bf 109E, the

engine and fuselage guns. These

are useful for the currently available

Barbarossa Limited Edition kit. Similar sets were in the past available in

1:32nd scale, and these will be making a return in August. There are

also interesting Brassin sets being released for the Fw 190A-8 and A-8/R2,

and these include the engine, bronze

landing gear struts and WGr.21 rocket launchers, all popular items. The

1:72nd and 1:48th scale weapons

sets are also expanding, and to this

can be added some 1:35th items,

such as the popular Panzerfaust set.

There is just one new LooK set being released in July, and that for the

Typhoon Mk.Ib, same as the BigSin

INFO Eduard - July 2019

for the Spitfire Mk.I in 1:48th scale.

There is also a lone 1/32nd scale set,

that being the wheel set for Revell’s

F/A-18E. Among new photoetched

items, you may find interesting the

sets designed for the majestic Airfix

F6F-5 Hellcat in 1:24th. We are also

going forward with our 1:32nd scale B-24 sets for the Hobby Boss kit,

and the sets for the Lynx Mk.8 from

Revell are also new. In 1:35th there

are new sets for the T-34/76 from

Zvezda and three, including zimmerit, for the Academy StuG.IV. We are

also now offering two pre-painted

sets of American flags in 1:35th. In

1:48th scale, we have prepared a set

for June’s Superbug release, which,

you will recall, was the F/A-18E, and

there are also several older re-released sets that originally were produced as self-adhesive sets. These

include some 72nd scale items, too.

Note the set for the Hobby Boss

MiG-17F carrying the catalog number 491000. On crossing the 1,000

item threshold, we will continue on

with the numbering sequence, so

be aware of the fact that from now

on, the catalog numbers will be six

digit. In 1:72nd scale, we have more

sets for the Sunderland from Special Hobby, and note the set for the

Su-7BMK from Modelsvit. We have

received a number of requests to

design sets for models from this manufacturer, and this is an attempt to

satisfy popular demand. Naval sets

are growing by two, these for the

German cruiser Blucher in 1:350th

scale from Trumpeter. This month,

there are five new BigEd sets.

At the end of May, our long term retail/stock department member Martin Finger left our company. Many

of you will certainly remember him

from his participation at shows. He

is being temporarily replaced by Petra Solcova, and you might know her

too from customer support, where

she worked for years, working to the

general satisfaction of our modeling customers. Petra steps into this

function during a time of transition,

during which our new sales person,

Vojta Czesnok, who came to us mid-June in time for ModellBrno, and is

currently being trained and should

be at our table in Plzen at the end

of August.

That’s it for now. I am grabbing my

helmet, and I am heading off to Normandy for two seeks.

Happy modeling!
