catalog number 11123. Two markings

are dedicated to Foreign Legion pilots

serving in French Aviation Militaire

units at the end of the war and two

other markings are post war Czechoslovak aircraft with the flag type national markings.

The Second World War era is covered by the Avia S-99/C-10, which is

a WNF (Diana) produced Bf 109G-10.

This is not identical to the August released Bf 109G-10 Mtt. Regensburg.

The S-99/C-10 had a somewhat differently shaped skinning of the fuselage

below the windscreen, and more importantly, larger fairings on the upper

surfaces of the wings. These planes

served predominantly with the Czechoslovak Police Air Units, and this is

refelected in the markings options. To

most, there may not be much variation from one to the next in terms of

the markings, but I think that the home

market will be more appreciative.

Finally, we have an aircraft from the

eighties and nineties. This is something

that has been dubbed ‚the Box‘ in our

air force, and is the MiG-23MF/ML.

This includes a publication, a bunch of

resin and photoetched and a big decal sheet. The concept fills the kit with

a lot of options. The basis is the plastic

from Trumpeter in an incarnation not

offered by them. The kit offers the building of either one MF or one ML version. The publication is extensive, the

Brassin accessories include rockets and

the seat, while other accessories are

available separately. The size of the kit

has a matching price tag, which is not

small, but the value for price ratio is

certainly acceptable.

In, October, we will have a total of

five kits. Besides the above mentioned three items, there will be a reboxing of the Fw 190D-9 Late in 1/48th

scale, as a ProfiPACK kit, and unchanged from the first edition, save for

a reworked photoetched fret. It now

includes instruments dials with a lens

effect applied to them and weathered seatbelts. In the Weekend Line,

we have the Bf 109G-4 with an interesting marking option for an aircraft

flown by Wübke. This pilot later flew an

Fw 190D-9 with JV 44. The second

marking is in a desert scheme, giving a

couple of interesting options to consider. With this kit, I hope to please our

INFO Eduard - September 2018

Slovak members of the BFC because

we will be offering markings for a Jan

Reznak aircraft through the club.

Our E-day stall will also, of course, offer new accessory items. Among them,

you’ll find things for the MiG-23, and

sets for recent new items like the 48th

scale Beaufighter TF.X from Revell, the

M-3 Lee in 1/35th by Tamiya and the

F-5E in 1/32nd from Kitty Hawk. The

Meng Porsche King Tiger in 1/35th is

also a new item and we are releasing

three sets for it. We even have some

new sets for older kits, such as the

1/48th Tamiya F-16C/N and the MiG-25PD from ICM. In the Brassin Line,

the three LööK sets in 1/48th scale

should prove to be very noteworthy,

as should the DB 605 engine for the

Tamiya Bf 109G-6/U4 in 1/48th. Most

of the new items for October can be

found in the ‚On Approach‘ section at

the end of today’s newsletter.

E-day will also have its associated

Afterparty event, which is an internet

sale that allows people to purchase

items at show prices without having to

actually be there.

For September we have prepared

three new kits. For the Czech and Slovak, and indeed Eastern European,

market, of note will be the 1/72nd

scale ProfiPACK kit MiG-21MF Fighter

Bomber. This is the most widely used

MiG-21MF production variant, built in

Moscow. The collection of markings

represents a fraction of users, since

five marking options, the ProfiPACK

standard, can’t possibly cover the vast

amount of client states for the MiGeduard
