FULL-ON WARRIOR PACKAGE FROM SPECIAL HOBBY
If SIAI-Marchetti's feisty SF-260 Warrior floats your boat, you won't want to miss Special Hobby's new bumper 1/72 package offering two kits, a reference book, PE and resin parts, tape masks and eight cool colour schemes!
IN THE NIGHT SKY
Huw Morgan tackles an early RAF jet night-fighter in the shape of Special Hobby's 1/72 Meteor NF.12. It's a relatively simple but classy build.
SNAKE CHARMER
Massimo Santarossa takes on a Cobra with Special Hobby's re-issued 1/72 AH-1G gunship.
PEREGRINE-POWERED STORM
Special Hobby's newly tooled 1/32 Whirlwind Mk.I offers much for modellers to savour, as Mike Williams discovers.
STOL SUPREMO
As re-releases go, the return of Special Hobby's excellent 1/72 Dornier Do 27 is most welcome. If you're unfamiliar with the kit, check out CHRIS CLIFFORD's review
DESERT TEMPEST
The first iteration of Special Hobby’s 1/72 Dassault Super Mystère/Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Sa’ar (tempest) has been re-released due to its popularity.
SPECIAL ISSUE SNAKE
Czech kit and aftermarket manufacturer Special Hobby has teamed up with Ukrainian firm ICM to release a special hi-tech version of the latter’s splendid 1/32 AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter.
UHU TRAINER
Special Hobby has re-released its 1/72 Fw 189B, with two grey styrene runners containing the wings, fuselage booms (common with other iterations), but the third and transparent frames contain items for the three- or five-position gondola.
PAINT PROTECTION
Complex canopies, such as those found on the P-40 series of fighters can be a time-consuming task to cover in preparation for painting, so Special Hobby’s own-brand products will be a boon for those with the firm’s Kittyhawks and Warhawks.
NIPPONESE HAULER
Kits of more esoteric Japanese aircraft aren’t released too often – so Special Hobby’s new Ki-54Hei transport is most welcome. CHRIS CLIFFORD reviews the contents.
