By: Eduard
Item No: 648444 Price: € 7. 9 3
Available from: http://www.eduard.comEduard’s SUU-30B/B dispensers
represent Vietnam-era weapons,
with short fins and endplates
parallel to the airflow, and a choice
of two nose fuzes – they would
be suitable for most US Air Force,
Navy or Marines aircraft, although
modellers should check references.
Each cluster bomb comprises two
resin and five photo-etched brass
components, representing the
bomb body and fuze, plus fins and
end caps respectively. Decals are
supplied for the airframe stencilling
and yellow noseband (denoting
high explosive).EARLY
CLUSTER BOMBS1 /4 8B43-0 Nuclear Weapon
w/SC43-4/-7 Tail Assembly
By: Eduard
Item No: 648447 Price: £ 7. 9 3
Available from: http://www.eduard.comEduard has released a superb pair
of resin B43 nuclear weapons, as
carried by US and NATO tactical
and strategic aircraft during the
1960s, ’70s and ’80s. This is the
short-nosed Mod-0 version, which
had wide tail fins, and was designed
for external carriage (clipped finned
and long-nosed Mod-1 variants
are also available). Each weapon
comprises ten finely cast resin
components, with separate tail fins,
nose cone and radar altimeters,
plus photo-etched brass end plates
and tail rings.P-40 Control Column
By: CMK
Item No: Q72 309 Price: €2.80
Available from: http://www.cmkkits.comWhile CMK’s P-40s are regarded
generally as the best in 1/72, the
limitations of styrene moulding
means there’s plenty of scope
for upgrades, such as these
beautifully cast control columns,
with well-defined features and
even the miniscule trigger for
the machine guns. There are
enough examples for three
models, making them great
value for money, and each item
is a drop-in replacements for
the kit part.Paint Cans and Brushes
By: Reality in Scale
Item No: 35268 Price: €10.95
Available from: realityinscale.comWhether it’s an industrial
painting scene or a vehicle being
camouflaged, this all-resin product
from Reality in Scale is ideal. It
comprises 12 large paint tins (six of
each size, one of which is open, the
other closed) and six paint brushes
(three different sizes). The casting
is superb, with sharply defined rims
on the paint tins, while the open
containers represent half-full/empty
items. There’s also a choice between
military (German and US Army) and
various civilian labels, all presented
on a well-printed decal sheet.MINIATURE TINS 1/35
Tracks for Pz.VI Tiger Mid-
production
By: OKB Grigorov
Item No: S100004 Price: €5.50
Available from:
shop.okbgrigorov.comIt seems there’s no end to the
range of armour accessories,
even for relatively uncommon
scales, such as 1/100, and these
resin tracks are designed for
Zvezda’s Tiger I. The detail is
to OKB Grigorov’s usual high
standards, despite the small
size, with convincing tread and
guide horn detail. Each track
is supplied as three lengths of
beautifully cast resin, which
usually provides enough for one
vehicle, plus spare links to adorn
the turret and hull.1 /4 81/72B-25 Wheels
By: Eduard
Item No: 672205
Price: £5.11
Available from: http://www.eduard.comIntended for Airfix’s recent B-25s,
the resin main- and nosewheels
should be equally applicable to
other early Mitchell kits. Each wheel
is presented as a single well-cast
unit, and features convincing tread,
plus brake line cables for the main
items. A pre-cut self-adhesive
mask set is provided which should
simplify painting significantly.
They are far superior to the styrene
parts and should be quick and
simple to install.1/721/35TRICYCLE
