Returns (Again!)
Having mentioned the
fleeting reappearance
of the Classic
Airframes Mk I/If kit
(#4155/£49.99) in
early August, which
swiftly sold out, we are
delighted to say that
a second production
batch was produced
and became available
in early September.
It is still only available
worldwide via
Hannants, so visit their
website
(www.hannants.co.uk)
for more details.

& information for
Scale Aircraft

Little Bird
Zvzeda continue to expand their series of snap-
together 1:200 kits, intended for wargaming,
but also ideal for those with restricted storage
and display space. The latest is the Junkers Ju
88 (#6186) and it is a neat little kit, with good
levels of detail and even things like a separate
clear canopy and front nose glazing; in all there
are eighteen grey-coloured and three clear
plastic parts plus a two-part display stand.
The snap-together nature of the kit may put
some off, which is a shame because the parts
are nicely moulded, plus you get decals and a
display stand. The kit should be available from
all Zvezda stockists for just £2.99, or in case of
difficulty contact the UK importer, The Hobby
Company Ltd.
In Pictures
Amberley Books have just released
a new title in their series entitled
‘The Second World War in the Air in
Photographs’ and it deals with the 1940
period (ISBN: 978-1-4456-2239-2). The
23.5x16.6cm title has 128 pages and
a laminated card cover. Inside you will
find a nice selection of period images
showing all aspects of the air fighting
around the globe during 1940, not just
the actual aircraft, but the effects on the
civil population as well. Each month is
covered in turn with good captions and
one or two images per page, so they
are nice and big.
Although not intended as some ultimate
guide, this is a useful title offering a
lot of inspirational images if you are
into building dioramas etc. Most of
the title is in black and white, but the
centre 16 pages are full colour. It is
available for £15.99 and should be in all
good bookshops as well as numerous
Internet outlets, and the coverage of
1939 in this series is also available from
Amberley (ISBN: 978-1-4456-2234-7)

The world above Cars
Zvzeda released various snap-together kits from the first Disney Planes animated movie, well
now they are doing the same with the second one (Planes: Fire & Rescue). For this movie the
collection includes three aircraft, Dusty Crophopper (see here), Blade Ranger (#2077) and
Lil’Dipper (#2076) along with three vehicles (Avalanche #2079, Ryker #2078 and Drip #2081).
Each kit is intended as a ‘first’ for many future model makers and in that Zvezda have to be
commended, their choice of such a movie for such kits is also inspired, as youngsters will want
to ‘fly’ these models just like we did with various Airfix, Matchbox and Revell kits way back
when…! The aircraft kits mentioned should be available from all Zvezda stockists from £4.99 for
Dusty through to £7.99 for Blade Ranger and Lil’Dipper, or in case of difficulty contact the UK
importer, The Hobby Company Ltd.

MODEL AIRPLANE INTERNATIONAL -
November 2014
WWI Resurgence
In this the 100th anniversary year of the start of
WWI and with the superb releases from Wingnut
Wings of late, there has been a resurgence of
interest in all things WWI aviation. So, if you
are getting into WWI subjects you can do no
better than to really consider joining Cross and
Cockade, the First World War Aviation Historical
Society. The society produces a superb quality
quarterly magazine, with in-depth articles, colour
artwork and product reviews, all specifically
tailored to WWI subjects and only WWI subjects.
Their magazine really is of the very highest
quality and they also do special publications and
a number of other products that are available to
members. So, to join contact the Membership
Secretary, Roger Tisdale, 11 Francis Drive,
Westward Ho!, Bideford, EX39 1XE, Email:
secretary@crossandcockade.com or visit their
website www.crossandcockade.com
Valiant Wings - New & Future
Having announced their next title in the Airframe Album
series (Bristol Blenheim) last month, Valiant Wings are about
to launch a new series, entitled Airframe Detail. This series
will major on the technical aspects of specific aircraft types,
with their usual high quality coverage via period images and
diagrams plus photos of modern preserved examples and
this will be combined with a detailed section on camouflage
and markings, with artwork by Richard J. Caruana, and
(where applicable) builds of some of the best kits in popular
scales. All of this will be supported by appendices listing
kits, accessories and decals as well as a full bibliography.
The series will be covering those subjects that while of great
interest and historical importance do not have sufficient
variants and/or production to allow inclusion in the existing
Airframe & Miniature or Airframe Album series. To start the ball
rolling the first title in the series will be on the very odd-looking
asymmetric Blohm & Voss Bv 141.
For more details visit their website www.valiant-wings.co.uk or
follow them on Facebook (valiantwingspublishing).
