his Belgium
Manufacturer has been
a regularly attendee
at Scale ModelWorld every
November in Telford, and they
nearly always have something
new to tempt us. This year
was no different, with some
new 1/32 scale figure sets,
which we will be covering
over the next few months.
This month we have a seated
figure of an RAF fast-jet pilot
from the 1960s. He is posed

wearing his flight helmet
and oxygen mask, with his
hands posed on throttle and
stick. I instantly thought how
nice this figure would look
posed in a Revell Hunter or
Trumpeter E.E Lightning.

CONCLUSION
As always, this set is beautifully
cast, in four parts, so there
is not much in the way of
assembly, and as the oxygen
mask is moulded in place,
there isn’t much of that difficult
face painting to do either,
something I always appreciate.
These and all the PJ
Productions range can be
ordered from their web site
at http://www.pj-production.be and
we thank them for supplying
us with the review sample.

O


ne of the joys of visiting
shows like Plastic Winter
in Bratislava is catching
up with manufacturers, so it
was good to see Profimodeller at
the show, who passed on some
of their latest sets for review.
We will bring you a look at these
sets over the coming issues.
This month we are taking a
look at the engine detail set for the
Revel 1/32 scale Ju-88. The Revell
kit is due for reissue as a Light and

Sound edition in the new year, so
this set is particularly welcome.
Inside the box, you will find that
this set contains two new resin
five-part propellers, and two sets
of engine fronts for the first and
later version Jumo 211 engines.

CONCLUSION
The set is cleanly
cast in cream resin,
with no air bubbles
visible on our set. If
you have the Revell
kit in your stash, or
you are waiting for
the Light and Sound
version, this set
offers a simple-to-
fit detail upgrade.
My thanks to
Profimodeller for
supplying these
samples for review.
