AMW133
HEFTY TAIFUN
Large-scale modelling is undergoing something of a boom, so it’s no surprise Eduard was quick to release the 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 108 that Striped Fighter didn’t manage to bring to the market.
GUN-TOTING PIRATE
Italeri’s splendid UH-34/Wessex kit returns with markings for US, French and German machines.
LITTLE DONKEY
Comprising just 13 components, Zvezda’s 1/144 Polikarpov I-16 is the ideal means of adding the ‘Ishak’ (Donkey) to wargaming fleets, a perfect rainy afternoon project or the simple basis for a painting and weathering challenge.
NOT QUITE NIGHT-FIGHTERS
Re-released for 2021 is Special Hobby’s 1/32 Heinkel He 100 in the same format as the initial iteration – the product code, parts and schemes are unchanged.
CHELSEA ROSE
When it comes to attractive airliner schemes, Revell doesn’t shy away from replicating them in kit form, such as the Chelsea Rose artwork worn by 23 airframes, as part of British Airways’ ‘World Art’ series – including Boeing 767-300ER G-BNWB.
GREEN-HEARTED RADIAL
Now in its sixth boxing, Eduard’s Fw 190A-5 is a popular subject, and this ProfiPACK release features the return of several schemes from earlier offerings, including what appears to be a favourite for the firm – JG 54 Grünhertz, with its unusual camouflage colours.
RE-ENGINED CARRIER
Zvezda has reworked its 1/144 Airbus A320 to depict the New Engine Option (neo) version, with decals supplied for the latest livery used by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).
MASTERLY CESSNA
The third boxing of ICM’s gorgeous O-2A Skymaster depicts a late-production machine, with changes to the port fuselage glazing supplied on two new runners, providing a replacement airframe half, upper wing section and enlarged window component
YELLOW PERIL
Following two versions of its PT-17 Kaydet, ICM has offered the first tweaked version of its Stearman biplane with this PT-13/N2S version – US Army Air Force (USAAF)/US Navy designations for the Lyoming R-680-powered variants.
SPECIAL HOBBY VIGGEN RE-ISSUE
Special Hobby's excellent 1/72 SAAB Viggen has been re-released with fresh liveries for metal and camouflaged airframes.
