MPM #72543 1/72

Gloster Meteor Mk.8 No. 77 Sq. RAAF over Korea

We are presenting our very good and successful Gloster Meteor kit again, now in the markings of No. 77 Squadron
RAAF over Korea. The kit contains two sprues with grey plastic parts, injected canopy, resin seat, instrument panel, rockets and color photo-etched parts. The Australian No. 77 Squadron begain the Korean conflict initially with P-51Ds but later was the sole unit to use the Meteor fighter over Korea. Decals offer five machines with nose art.

The A77-17 machine can be built in two different appearances; either with the "Constipated Can’t Be Passed!" or with "Blow em over" sign and a Devil cartoon.



Special Hobby #SH48062 1/48

H-21 Shawnee "Flying Banana over Vietnam"

The US H-21 twin rotor helicopter was used by many air forces
all over the world. It also served for civilian roles. We’re presenting the kit of this helicopter as it appeared during the Vietnam War. Decals offer 5 version of colour schemes, from standard Hi-visibility to the field applied 3-tone camouflage.

The kit contains five sprues with grey plastic parts, one sprue with clear parts, resin and photo-etched parts. Rotor heads are cast from white metal to ensure their rigidity.



Special Hobby #SH48081 1/48

Avro Anson Mk.I "Colorful Annie"

The original kit that we produced for Classic Airframes has been enhanced by color photo-etched parts and interesting colour schemes. This kit is produced as a limited edition.

You can build an overall red French machine, overall yellow Canadian machine (used for training by Czechoslovakian pilots during WW2) and an operational Australian machine that wore a combination of camouflage and white recognition patches.

The kit contains three sprues with grey plastic parts, injected canopies, resin and color photo-etched parts.



Special Hobby #SH72160 1/72

X-1A/D "Second Generation"

After the success of the original X-1 aircraft and the breaking of the Sound Barrier, both USAF and NACA decided to continue with the research into supersonic flight. Therefore, they ordered the so-called „Second Generation“ X-1 from the Bell aircraft company.

These were three bigger aircraft, versions A, B, and D. They were used for high speed research (up to Mach 2.5) and high altitude flights with both good and bad results.

The kit contains two sprues with grey plastic parts, injected canopy, resin and photo-etched parts. Decals are for one X-1D and four different X-1A – orange, 2 aircraft in natural metal surfaces and the last one in a white paint job.
