FASCIST FIGHTER
Ukraine’s ICM delighted many modellers last year with its then new 1/32 FIAT CR.42 Falco. The firm has now released it with Italian Air Force figures, for those with a diorama in mind.
EXQUISITE TRANSPORT
There’s a terrific amount of detail on offer with Gecko Models’ new 1/35 Bedford MWD 15-cwt truck. If you're traditionally an armour modeller, this kit is an ideal, well-detailed entry point into 'soft-skin' vehicles.
LATIN FORTRESS SPECIALS
US decal firm Two Bobs has released Argentinian Air Force 'Malvinas' anniversary schemes with Kinetic’s new 1/48 Pucará kit in mind. Chris Clifford describes the details.

NEW ENGINE OPTION
Having first tooled a 1/144 Airbus A321 in 1999, Revell has followed the type’s development with a completely re-tooled A321neo – featuring two New Engine Options (hence the acronym) plus wingtip ‘sharklets’ to improve fuel efficiency.
LATE-WAR LAVOCHKIN
This late version of Clear Prop’s newly tooled 1/72 Lavochkin La-5 includes a slightly reworked runner compared with the early iteration (CP72014), though the remaining six frames and photo-etched (PE) brass fret are unchanged.
SOVIET SCENE
ICM’s approach to figures with aircraft kits is arguably among the best, with this 1/48 Polikarpov U-2 set including the base kit, plus pilots and ground crew for no extra cost.
