ell, Spring has
definitely arrived
as evidenced by the
Warbirds awakening at my
local airfield. The two seat
Spitfire flights have begun and
the unique two seat Hispano
Buchon HA-1112 M4L was
outside its hanger catching
some early Spring sunshine.
Spring is usually a time
when modellers slow down
their output, but the last
few weeks has seen my
output increase as I try to
finish some older started
and stalled projects, so I can
make way on my bench for
some of these new releases!

ay will see the first
ProfiPack release of the
all new 1/72 scale MiG
21 family, this first version to
appear will be the MF. Also, in 1/72
scale but this time in the Weekend
line, we have the Avia B534 Series


  1. For fans of 1/48 scale, Eduard
    are reissuing their Albatros D.V
    as a ProfiPack Edition. While In
    their Limited-Edition line Eduard
    are releasing a 1/48 scale duel


combo Bf109F-4 and
Bf109G-2, in North
African campaign markings,
under the title of ‘Afrika’.
As well as the kits, there are
lots of photo-etch and Brassin
sets to tempt as well. I have
come to realise that a lot of
these Brassin accessories are
little kits in themselves and I
have started to build some of
the ordinance for individual
display! w w w.Eduard.com
