his first release reminds
me a lot of early Eduard
brass sets, as the
instructions look very much
like that manufacturer’s style
during the 1980s. This first
set is aimed at the S&M Bristol
Sycamore helicopter, and
supplies a multitude of small
detail parts that will add a lot
to the already nice basic kit.1/72 SCALE

There is another similarity to
early Eduard sets, which is
the price: Hannants have this
set available for just £5.99.

e don’t get
to catch up
with AZ/
KP very often, so it
was particularly good
to see them at Plastic
Winter, where we were
introduced to a selection
of the accessories that
they are producing for
their kits. I am rubbish
at making my own paint
masks, so having pre-cut
ones is always a plus!
The photo-etch set
for the L-200 Morava
offers a sensible upgrade
to this recently re-issued and
updated kit. The Hampden clear
parts for the Valom kit will be
a worthwhile purchase if you
have this kit in your stash, but
the AZ reissue of the kit has the
updated canopy set in it already!KP

When purchasing an AZ/KP kit, it will
be worthwhile to check to see if there
is a mask or photo-etch set designed
for your kit available. The photo-etch
would be a good introduction to
adding extra detail, and I consider
masks an essential purchase!

O
ne of the
first 1/32
scale sets
from Master
Models supplied
a beautiful brass
jacket for a WW1
Spandau machine
gun. This set
was welcomed
by many who,
like me, had
failed on many
occasions to roll a flat etched
brass sheet into a perfect
cylinder. Now, five years
later, they have revisited this
subject with three new sets.
The main difference is that
on each set, the cooling jackets
have a different pattern of slots.
This means that, to decide which
style is most appropriate, you
will have to research the aircraft
you are building, but thanks
to the Wingnut Wings photo
libraries (on their website),
this is now not that hard.
But as their expertise has
increased, Master Models have
gone a couple of stages further.
They have added 3D printing
and resin casting to their sets.
These new barrels also include
two lengths of ammunition
belts, one with bullets, one
without, as well as a resin feeder.1/32 SCALE

These sets make producing
stunning Spandau barrels simple,
as well as adding detail to the gun
bodies themselves. But there is a
price to be paid, as for most aircraft
you will need to purchase two of
each set to finish your model.
The full Master range can be
viewed on their website at http://www.

range will be stocked by Hannants.
