Good Day, Dear Friends
We find ourselves in the same situation
with November’s new releases as we did with
the October ones, in that they also have been
available for purchase a couple of weeks ahead
of the newsletter announcement, meaning that
they will already be known to a large percentage
of readers and perhaps even in their possession.
Some modellers may be putting them together,
and some of the items may even be built already.
With the Bf 109 G-2 or G-4 in 72nd scale, this is
not a difficult concept to grasp. From my own
experience, I can confirm that this little thing
comes together on its own, presents no pitfalls,
nor does it hide any nasty surprises. Not that I'm
one of those who can say they built this kit. I did
slap it together, but didn't paint it, and I wouldn't
even bother with weathering for what I needed to
do with it. But the gluing of the kit, kind of halfway
to building the model, is something I practice quite
regularly, because it doesn't hurt when the head
of the company knows what he's actually selling.
And I'll also openly admit that I do the same with
competitor’s kits, because knowing what the
competition actually creates and puts out there is
also good to know.
Kits
Wunderschöne neue Maschinen Pt.2 is the
name of the 72nd scale Limited Edition kit,
covering an important developmental period of
the Messerschmitt Bf 109, namely the first Bf 109
Gs. The Bf 109 designation changed from F to G
after a new Bf 109 F-4 airframe had a DB 605A
engine installed. You can read about it, if you
should so wish, in my article on the subject in this
issue of the newsletter, and if, after reading it , you
are left with the impression that although the kit
presents none of the aforementioned nastiness in
construction, the original builders and designers
seem to have laid plenty of traps for future
researchers, then good, because that is what
a part of the intent of the text was. The fact is that
the two basic types, the G-2 and G-4, do not have
clearly defined technical characteristics. Apart
from a few minor details, the problem is that the
G-4 got new, larger wheels, and with them, fairings
on the upper wing over the wheel wells, and
a non-retractable, larger, tailwheel. This sounds
obvious, but in reality some of the older G-4s, and
there were not just a few of them, still had the old
smaller wheels and had no fairings on the wing.
To make matters worse, older G-2s received bulged
wings and new larger wheels during overhauls.
This created a nice mess in the genome of the G-2
and G-4 types, including the G-1 and G-3, which
were machines with
a pressurized cockpit,
from which there is
practically no way out
without knowing the serial
number of the aircraft
of interest. Fortunately,
the serial number can be
found for a large number
of Bf 109 Gs, God bless
German precision. That carried with it its own
price too, but we'll get to that in a few months.
In January to be exact, when we start looking at
the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6. It will be a blast,
literally on all fronts, and you can certainly look
forward to it!
In the kit, we simplified the problem of
differentiating between these complex issues
between the Bf 109 G-2 and G-4 by strictly
following the rule, when deciding on markings
options, that for the G-2 we only chose aircraft
without the upper wing wheel well fairings, and
for G-4 only those with them. But as nobody’s
perfect, we made one small mistake in depicting
the Finnish Bf 109 G-2 coded MT-213 with the
fairings in the color scheme, but there is no
need to think too much about it. In fact, she flew
without them, apparently even after general
overhaul. This also eliminates a lot of thinking
about the combination of different parts, there is
enough in this kit to build one G-2 and one G-4.
There are 14 marking options available, seven
for each version. If you would like to build more
than two models, Overtrees are available, even in
a discounted Bundle offer.
The following information has a lot in common
with what I wrote above, and it's not just that it's
also a German subject. In the ProfiPACK 1:48th
scale line, we present the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-7.
Perhaps unbelievably, this is a type that we
have never released before in the new tooled
Fw 190 A line. At the same time, it is not such
a peripheral type, with some 700 units having been
produced, which is comparable to, for example,
the A4, of which 970 were built. The truth is that
the A-7 was, like the A-6 and also like the Bf 109
G-2 and G-4, a transitional type, a precursor to
the mass-produced Fw 190A-8. And what it also
has in common with the small Bf 109 G-2/G-4 is
the design of the kit. They both look the way we
imagine a plastic kit should look, they are exactly
the kind of products we want to produce and sell.
Other kits released in November also fit into
the concept described above. Both 48th scale
Weekend kits have a balanced composition of
colour options. The F6F-3 Hellcat has the usual
four markings, three American, two of which are
iconic, by which I mean Alexander Vraciu's White
32 and the sharkmouthed Hellcat of VF-27 from
the aircraft carrier USS Princeton from October
1944. Also included is the British Hellcat Mk.I,
and that is included because, for one, it further
diversifies the markings offered in the kit, and
two, we will almost certainly not release British
Hellcats as a separate item.
Similarly, we have the Tempest Mk.V Series
1, which is somewhat out of line with the six
marking option formula set out for the Weekend
edition kits. This is because the famous Tempest
of No.150 Wing RAF Commander Roland Beamont
is depicted in three stages of development in its
markings, from the period before the Invasion,
through the markings from the beginning of it,
specifically from June 8th, 1944, to the period
between June and July, 1944. Overall, all markings
cover a longer period of time from April, 1944 to
January, 1945.
With respect to reissues, we present two
vintage releases, the 72nd scale Fokker Dr.I,
which as a type still holds the top spot as our
best-selling 72nd scale model, and the 1:48th
Bf 109 G-6/AS. This one is also selling well, and to
be honest, it's one of my (forgiven) mistakes and
miscalculations. I once considered these versions
of the Messerschmitt 109s with DB 605AS engines
to be marginal and commercially uninteresting
types. Fortunately, reality later proved me wrong.
For Fokker Dr.I we have modified the cover box
art according to the latest research, details and
reasons for this can be found in the Box Art Story
by Richard Plos.
And we're not done with kits yet. With the
second edition, the recently sold out Wilder Cat is
back on sale, the 48th scale licensed FM-2 Wildcat
version, and from the beginning of November, the
48th scale Profi;PACK MiG-21PFM will be on sale
as well. There are only 310 of these left in stock.
And while I'm on the subject of licensed Wildcats,
I'd like to remind you that we're releasing the FM-1
in December. We already have the box art, which
in my opinion is one of our most beautiful box arts
to date.
