Jack it up

A

new manufacturer to me

was Das Werk who has a

set of German Luftwaffe

jacks plus two saw horses in

1/48 scale perfect for a servicing

diorama with a Fw-190 or Bf109.

What a lot, we have got!

I

n contrast to the Chinese,

Czech modelling continues

to show major growth and

Special Hobby had probably

the largest and most diverse

range of new releases in

both scale and subject.

It is hard to pick highlights

from this range but the two seat

Viggen being developed with

Tarrangus looks very nice and

I was pleased that both splinter

and grey camouflage schemes

will be included. In 1/32 the

latest boxing of the Tempest the

Mk.VI looked very striking in

its tropical camouflage scheme.

While the tiny Messerschmitt

Me209 in 1/72 also stood out from

the crowd thanks to its dark blue

colour with white registration

and Socialist flag tail markings.

Contra Chopper

M

iniart

had on

display a built

up copy of the

Flettner Fl282

Kolibri V-21 this

differed from

the previous

release by the

addition of two

fuel tanks on

either side of

the nose (Very

handy for weights to prevent

tail sitting). There will be

at least one more release in

this range which I expect to

be the V-24 with the boxed in

cockpit. Miniart said they are

looking for suggestions for

further 1/35 aircraft subjects

so if you like this scale now
