O
n the Zoukei-Mura Stand at Telford the Kawasaki Ki-
45 announced two years was inally on sale. But not for
long as they has only managed to bring a small number
of the Long Nosed version and these sold out within an hour of
the shows opening. By
the time you read this
both the short and long
nosed version should
be available from the
manufacturer’s website.
Not much progress seem
to have been made on the
Henschel Hs-129 but we
are assured that this is on
course for release next year
at either the US Nationals
in Chattanooga in August

A
complete production
example of the HK Models
1/32 scale Lancaster was on
display at the show and this will
be available from your favourite
retail outlet in early December.
Markings are included for 3
aircraft comprising R5868 OL-Q
Queenie, R5868 PO-S Sugar and
W4783 AR-G George. The irstproduction run will include
a super clear fuselage half
enabling you to see the
moulded internal detail as
well as the bomb bay. This
is a feature I really like,
but a normal grey half is
included if you want to follow
the traditional display route.Long
