MOSCA PANEL
Yahu’s splendid pre-assembled and pre-painted instrument panel is arguably one of the simplest, yet most effective upgrades for any 1/32 I-16 Type 10 – known as the Mosca (fly) by Spanish Nationalist forces.
GO-ANYWHERE CARRIER
This version of Tamiya’s 1/35 Komatsu Light Armored Vehicle retains the styrene and die-cast components from previous iterations, including a one-piece upper body, three green-toned runners and a clear frame, plus four vinyl tyres and metal screws.
TURRETED TURTLE
Italeri’s 1/35 M1A1 Abrams returns with five crew figures to pose with the vehicle – the latter are supplied on a single grey styrene runner with convincingly rendered clothing, but flash was evident on several parts.
Smooth building
One of the first steps taken by a modeller when advancing from ‘building for fun’ to more complex projects is the elimination of joins/seams. Here we examine how to achieve this.
BOSS BIRDS
Eduard’s Bf 109G-10 has been reworked to include a late-war oil cooler and supercharger intake on a modified Runner AB to accompany the other frames, plus the ProfiPACK-series’ usual photo-etched metal fret and canopy mask set.
POCKET ROCKET
Brengun has scaled down its well-received 1/48 P.1103 and the result is a beautifully moulded little kit, with parts presented on two styrene runners.
OLDIE BUT GOLDIE
Czech manufacturer Směr has re-boxed Heller’s 1/72 Bloch MB.210, a kit that first originated in 1967.
DOOLITTLE COMMEMORATION
Airfix’s 1/72 B-25 Mitchell returns in a special package depicting one of the 16 aircraft launched from USS Hornet on April 18, 1942, to attack Tokyo as a retaliation for Pearl Harbor.
TULSA-BUILT TWIN
This version of ICM’s 1/48 Douglas Invader depicts World War Two machinery with the designation A-26, as opposed to the B-26 classification applied from 1948 onwards.
