SCOURGE OF THE SKIES DUO
Eduard’s limited-edition offerings are often keenly anticipated, and its Fokker D.VII has been packed as a double set, complete with photoetched (PE) brass and resin extras – the last provides superb Mercedes D.III and BMW IIIa engines (one of each type).
UPGRADED MOOSE
IBG has been meticulous with its coverage of the Polish PZL.37 bomber, covering each sub-type in turn.
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.
DIVE-BOMBING BRITAIN
Re-released as part of Italeri’s Battle of Britain celebration, its Ju 87B contains beautifully printed markings for four France-based airframes during summer 1940.
CAPTURED AUSTINS
World War One-era armoured cars seem all the rage, and MiniArt’s Austin vehicle is the firm’s fourth kit of this type, covering captured machines operated by German, Austro-Hungarian and Finnish forces.
MOBILE MACHINE GUNS
Armoured cars are gaining in popularity, with Hauler’s resin kit depicting the Russo-Balt Type C produced in the Russian Empire during the 1910s.
ARMOUR WITH A STING(ER)
Dragon’s reissuing of its splendid M2 Bradley series continues with the short-lived M6 Linebacker, which replaced the anti-tank missile launcher with a Stinger surface-to-air missile unit.
GUNNERY GROUP
Having been absent from Italeri’s range for 40 years, the ex-Peerless 1/35 155mm Howitzer M1 has been re-released and paired with Ukrainian firm Master Box’s same-scale US Artillery Crew figures.
HEAVY FELINE
This iteration of Dragon’s 1/35 Panther Ausf.D provides alternative upper/lower hull and turret components with or without the integrally moulded Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating, providing a ‘2-in- 1’ option that’s either/or rather than two kits.
PRIOR TO COMBAT
Consistently offering great value pairings, ICM has combined its 1/35 Model T RNAS Armoured Car (35669) with its World War One tank crew (35708) for a price increase of just 10% compared with the initial boxing.
