SPECIAL HOBBY PLASTIC MODEL KITS

F-84F Thunderstreak ‘Luftwaffe’  Hi Tech kit 1/72

Art.no. Scale Barcode
100-SH72510 1/72 8595593131849

  When the Luftwaffe F-84F Thunderstreak model had been first released this April, the release that contained a fragment from a real machine that crash landed on our territory, the speed of sales did take our breath away. And as we did not have more than a thousand of those fragments, there was left nothing to sell after less than a month's time. We still believe, though, that the F-84F in Luftwaffe livery will be widely seek after by many a modeller, and so we are going to release this SH72510 kit that replaces that really fast sold out SH72505. The sheet of decals and boxart are left the same, now it includes a pre-cut mask as well as a set of 3D-printed parts enabling the builder to have the nose machine gun compartment open.
-    very interesting colour schemes
-    masks and 3D-printeddetailing parts
-    highly accurate model with superb fit throughout

Mirage F.1C/C-200 'Armée de l'Air' 1/72 - reedice

Art.no. Scale Barcode

100-SH72388

1/72 8594071086725

   The Mirage F.1 owes its creation to a private initiative by the Dassault company. The first prototype took off for the first time on 23 December 1966 and the production machines went to serve with the Armée de l'Air as the Mirage F.1C single seat jet and the Mirage F1.B two seat trainer aircrraft. During the service, some of the machines were modified to the F.1C-200 standard by adding the IFR probe on the mose section. The French military used two recon versions of the Mirage, too. These were the Mirage F.1CR and Mirage F.1CT, the latter being converted from the F.1C-200 airframes. The Armée de l'Air received a total of 246 Mirages of all versions and the type also marked an export success. They flew in Spain and Greece in Europe, in South America they saw service with a sole operator, the air force of Ecuador, whilst in Africa and Asia, the Mirages flew in Gabon, South Africa, Morocco, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait. As a result, the Mirage F.1 fighters were involved in many armed conflicts and wars all around the globe, in mock combats between Greece and Turkey as well as in hot missions in Chad, over-border clashes between Acuador andPeru, in South Africa they fought against Cuban aircraft flying from Angola bases and perhaps most known might be their involvement in the Iran-Iraq conflict where they were used by both sides. 
 Our nicely detailed Mirage F.1C/C-200 model has its parts broken up to six grey styrene sprues plus one with clear parts. The decal sheet covers a quartet of machines, three of which sport grey-blue on the upper surfaces with aluminium paint below, they all carry various colourful trim and the fourth machine is  in a desert scheme as it flew in Djibouti. Its centre-line fuel tank is adorned with a pair of eyes and a shark mouth.

-    very interesting colour schemes
-    finely detailed model kit set with plenty of accessory sets available, from masks to figures

100-SH48241

1/48 8595593131900

   The Boomerang was the only indigenous-built Australian fighter aeroplane to saw service during the Second World War. Boomerangs defended Australia and were also deployed to New Guinea and other Pacific islands. The last fighter-recce version, designated CA-19, carried a photo camera behind the cockpit and mainly flew recon missions or marked potential targets for larger fighter bombers. 
   The instruction sheet and decals enable the modeller to choose one of three green-overall machines two of which had their tail sections painted in white. All three of them carry some sort of nose art. The kit set itself comes on four grey styrene sprues, one with clear parts, a set of resin parts and a fret of etches.

Wehrmacht Bicycle (2 pcs) 1/48

Art.no. Scale Barcode
129-P48018 1/48 8595593132044

  The bicycle was not only a means of transport or sport for civilians. As a bicycle can carry quite a lot and is also rather faster than a pedestrian, many armies introduced the bicycle to their inventory in the early 20th century. The German army was no exception, bicycles were used there even before the Great War. In the 1930s, the new and rebuilt Wehrmacht introduced this invention too and kept using it until the end of the war. Many a photograph illustrates wide use of bicycles in the military, and they often carried even a machine gun or up to two Panzerfaust weapons.
  Our 3D-printed bicycles come 3D-printed in top quality. One of them carries a panzerfaus and on its frame it has an open box for grenades. The other bicycle can carry a machine gun or a rifle.  Having made a 1/72 bicycle set for you, now we feel it is the right time to upscale it for quarterscale modellers, too.
