PJ Productions

A

t Scale ModelWorld in

November, PJ Production

supplied us with a

selection of there new release

and here are the final two. We

start with the largest a four piece

1/32 scale resin casting that

supplies a World War 2 pilot in

tropical clothing which means

shorts and a short-sleeved

shirt., perfect for a desert

diorama with a P-40 or Spitfire.

The second set supplies two

1/72 figures featuring an RAF

Pilot ready for flight in a Mae West

vest and flying boots talking to

a member of the ground crew.

1/72 SCALE

PJ721138 RAF PILOT AND MECHANIC

(STANDING)

1/32 SCALE

PJ321122 RAF PILOT IN TROPICAL

CLOTHING

CONCLUSION

Pilot figures are not included in many

plastic kits anymore so PJ Production

fill a gap if you want to add a little

bit of life to your model or diorama

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.

Eduard Etched Brass

I

t is hard to believe that

the Eduard range of brass

now numbers over 3000

items and every month we get

another batch of new release.

But this month we have

received a sample of an Eduard

brass set that uses a new process

and over the course of this year

will become the norm for aircraft

sets in 1/48 and 1/72 scale.

Investment in new

machinery has improved the

technology used in printing

colours onto there pre-finished

brass sets. But the other change

is that in 148 and 1/32 scale will

also come with the instrument

dials have been printed with

an individual clear resin glaze

over the instrument dials.

On the F-4U-1D set we received

the printing is superb and the

glazing over the lens seems

to magnify the printing of the

dials and makes them really

pop out and is far superior to

anything I could achieve using

my normal glazing materials.

1/32 SCALE

VOUGHT F4U-1D CORSAIR INTERIOR

Product No: 32-915

Designed for: Tamiya

CONCLUSION

I think this investment from

eduard has really improved the

appearance of what was already

a good product. And tis is just

the start as later this year we

have been informed that their

pre-finished seat belts will be

printed using a new process which

will give them a worn look.

Our thanks to Eduard

for supplying us with

the review samples.

Khee-Ka Productions

I

t has been a couple of years

from cottage manufacturer

Khee-Ka, based in Alaska

this company produced a

range of resin accessories

for Bush Aircraft flying in

this rugged environment.

Their latest set supplies a

set of Edo 2000 floats to fit the

KP Models L-18/Pa-18 Super

Cub. Though the floats can

also be used on many other

aircraft as they have been in

production for over fifty years.

The resin parts are

cleanly cast and a small set

of plans clearly show where

everything fits as well as being

a major help in alignment.

1/72 SCALE

EDO 2000 FLOATS

Designed for: KP L-18/PA-18 Super Cub

CONCLUSION

A simple set that will be welcomed

by anyone who likes light civil

aircraft and we thank Khee-Ka for

supplying us with the sample.

This set can be purchased

directly from the manufacturer at

http://www.Khee-Ka.Com along with the

rest of the range of decals

and vac form kits plus

other types of resin floats

and in Europe, the range

is also being stocked by

the Aviation Megastore.
