CONCLUSION

This month we see some sets for the

1/72 Airfix B17 and Tucano, as well

as more sets for the ICM Fw 189 and

Hasegawa Ki-84. To round off this

month there is a set of wheels for the

soon to be released Special Hobby

P-40 – the first of many, I am sure!

These sets from CMK are simple-

to-fit upgrades that require little

or no surgery to the plastic kit, so

they are an ideal first step in using

resin detail sets. My thanks to CMK/

Special Hobby for supplying these

samples. For details on these and

other sets visit http://www.cmkkits.com
