Got an Italeri or Bronco Staghound
armoured car, but want alternative
markings? Look no further than
Toro’s collection of seven schemes
for machines manned by Polishcrews in World War Two and just
after. All but one vehicle wears two-
tone green/tan camouflage (the
other is in Olive Drab), and the arm
of service symbols, roundels and
stars in circles all contribute towards
attractive subjects. Choices include:- Mk.I, 214461 ; ‘Smialy’, 1st Sqn, 15th
Poznan Lancers, Italy, 1945 - AA, F235791 ‘Nadwislanski’, HQ
Sqn, 12th Podolian Lancers, Italy,
1946 - Mk.I, F225444, HQ of 3rd Rifle
Brig., 1st AD, Germany, 1945 - Mk.I, F116239 ‘Pomorzanin’, 3rd
Sqn, Carpathian Lancers, Italy, 1944
This package of seven
schemes for the T-38
represents aircraft in overall
white, and two with smart
extra red portions in places.
There are three Portuguese
and four Turkish subjects
(from Esq 103 at Beja
and 121 Filo at Cigli-Izmir
respectively), and all are
perfect for quarter-scale
Trumpeter/Wolfpack kits.
With great printing by
Cartograf, the choices are:- T-38A, 63-8121, Turkish AF,
2004 - T-38A, 63-8183, Turkish

MODERN RAF MASH-UP
Impeccable research goes into
this company’s releases and the
instructions are highly informative
reference works in their own
right. This certainly goes for the
firm’s latest offering, which has
eight liveries for Hudsons of the
Royal Canadian AF Eastern Air
Command, and US Navy U-boat
hunters. Regardless of the
available kit one chooses (MPM,
Airfix, MPM/Italeri or MPM/
Revell), for accuracy one must
modify the engine cowlings as all
but one of the schemes are for
Mk.III airframes and their USN
derivatives (the anomaly is Mk.I).The camouflage varies but all are
attractive. They include:- Mk.I, 784, 145 (BR) Sqn, RCAF
- PBO-1, 82-P-8, VP-82, US Navy
- Mk.III, BW-403/LM-S, 113 (BR)
Sqn, RCAF - Mk.III, BW 616/LM-B, 113 (BR)
