HEAT-SEEKING AIR-TO-AIRS
Suitable for adding ordnance to 1/48 models of RAF Typhoons, Harrier GR.9s, Tornado GR.4s, RAF/RN F-35s, Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18s and Indian Air Force Jaguars, this pair of AIM-132 ASRAAM (Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile) is from Eduard’s Brassin range.
UPGRADED 'OFFICE'
Here’s a great upgrade for Airfix’s Beaufighter TF.X, in the form of a comprehensive resin and photo-etched (PE) brass cockpit, which replaces the styrene parts in their entirety.
'FIFTY CALS
Half-inch calibre Brownings were a common feature on many World War Two Allied aircraft, and this pack from Eduard provides six resin weapons.
STORM CONTROL
Part of CMK’s ‘Quick and Easy’ range, this resin control column is intended for parent firm Special Hobby’s 1/32 Hawker Tempests but is also suitable for Pacific Coast offerings.
COVERS AND VENTS
Hauler’s photo-etched brass grilles and manhole covers will make a fine addition to any scene but note these are industrial items (given their size), and not the versions seen on roads and kerbs.
DUST AND SAND
Combined weathering packages can be a boon to novice and experienced modellers alike, such as AMMO-MIG’s A.MIG-7802 set, which is intended for representations of World War Two’s desert campaign.
EASTERN STRAFERS
Compared to the military campaigns in Europe and the Pacific during World War Two, the China-Burma-India Theatre receives little attention, which makes this Osprey Combat Aircraft volume a ‘must-have’.
BIG CAT HUNTER
Kagero’s 91st TopDrawings publication is devoted to the Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther (hunting panther) tank destroyer.
SECOND-GEN V/STOL
Harrier fans will welcome this lavishly printed monograph on Spanish Navy and US Marine Corps second-generation airframes, as it provides a wealth of data on these types.
FLYING DUTCHMAN
With new-tool 1/48 Fokker G.1 kits available and under development from Ukrainian firm MikroMir, this Dutch Profile book is a welcome reference guide to this twin-boom jachtkruiser (heavy fighter), of which just 62 were produced.
