Fundekals' new website is online! Here's their announcement: "Fündekals is proud to announce that after a lengthy delay, our entirely new, vastly improved web site is now live! We hope you'll be pleased with the fresh new look. All of our currently available decals are featured in easy to navigate pages, with links to our PDF instruction manuals adjacent to each individual product. We plan on uploading the PDFs for our "retired" decals that are no longer available as well, since many people have requested them (that's a work still in progress). We’re actively soliciting submissions to our customer gallery page. If you’ve built a model using fündekals, and you’d like the world to see it, please submit photos and information on what you’ve built to info@fundekals.com! Please visit us at www.fundekals.com to see what's new!"

Following on from the release of his earlier aircraft titles, Spencer Pollard has announced his first diorama book in almost ten years. The new book harks back to a distant time of inspiration, aspiration and dreams of what was possible. This is ‘The Legacy.’ The first of a planned series of books, this one deals with a number of the most famous German kits, all four of them appearing in Tamiya’s Top 10 list of all-time best-sellers. The subjects covered, are as follows:
‘Pinned Down’ – featuring the Sd.Kfz. 251 Hanomag
‘Desert Raiders’ – featuring both the Panzer II Ausf.F/G and SAS Jeep
‘Once A Hunter…’ – featuring the Panther Ausf. A
‘Of No Avail 2.0’ – featuring the 88 mm Flak 36/37
Volker Vahle, long time Project Manager for Revell Germany, will be retiring at the end of this month. Volker has been a great friend of modelling - a professional and an ethusiast who has delivered many great kits into the hands of modellers over the decades. Volker has always had a great knack for picking popular subjects and reaching out to some of the most prominent experts in the field for research and development. One of the highlights of my visits to ScaleModelworld at Telford was the chance to chat with Volker. Even on the busy Revell stand, he was always happy to share his views and fill everyone in with news of future releases. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Volker a very long and happy retirement!
