2021 RELEASES
Arma Hobby has announced a number of exciting
releases for the 2021 calendar year.
Here they are:
“1:48 SCALE HURRICANE MK IIC
The biggest project for 2021, the model you have
been waiting for is the Hurricane Mk IIc in 1:48 scale.
Kit includes three plastic frames (plus clear parts).
It will most likely be released as the last one in the
series. We anticipate its follow-up with Hurricane Mk I
and other variants of the Mk II.
P-51 B/C MUSTANG 1:72
We have a great pleasure to announce a kit that
you have been asking for a long time. The P-51 B/C
Mustang release is planned in the second quarter of
2021.
In the box, you will find parts to build both USAAF
P-51B/C, RAF Mustang Mk III and the reconnaissance
F-6C.
The kit features both regular and Malcolm Hood
canopies moulded in open and closed positions.
Options include dorsal fin and different styles of
inspection panels for an air filter. Under-wing stores
included in the set are bombs plus 110 and 75 gallon
fuel tanks.
Our first Expert Set edition will include photo-etched
parts, canopy/wheel masks and decals for six
markings options (4 x USAAF and 2 x RAF).
Please check out the 3D renderings here. Your
comments and questions are very appreciated. Design
and kit content may change during production.
Kit is produced under license from Boeing. Boeing,
P-51 Mustang and the distinctive Boeing logos,
product markings and trade dress are trademarks of
The Boeing Company.
AEROCRAFT MODELS NEW RELEASES
Aerocraft Models has announced three new releases.
The first is an openable canopy for the Special Hobby 1:72 SF-260.
The next two are for the de Havilland Hornet by AZmodel.
There is also an openable canopy and then a set of improved cowlings
and spinners for the kit, the kit ones are a little undersized.
This set is all drawn on 3D CAD and customers will receive all the parts as
3D printed parts.
A small amount of sanding and priming will be needed, but as you can
see the parts do have recessed detail, and the exhausts are hollowed out.
Here are a few links:

1:72 SCALE GRUMMAN F4F-4 WILDCAT
As has already been announced, the Wildcat project
continues. Another plastic frame is ready for tooling
in the workshop. It is the F4F-4 with the Martlet Mk II
sub-variant (differing in the engine cover). In future we
plan to add a plastic frame with F4F-3 / Martlet Mk
III wings.
Grumman Wildcat is a trademark of Northrop
Grumman Systems Corporation and is used under
license by Arma Hobby.
The accumulation of finished project designs and the
workshop’s problems with Covid is a challenge for us.
The introduction of a vaccine may solve the problem of
recurring quarantine of the tool workshop personnel.
Having three ready for tooling projects, we may not
be able to finance their production simultaneously.
The last year plan assumed the release of models
in sequence, allowing the financing of subsequent
models from their sale. The P.11c 1:48 model was
planned to be released in October, and the P-51 B/C
in November 2020. It would give us the resources
needed to implement the Hurricane Mk IIc in 1:48 in
the first quarter of 2021.
We would instead start with the low-priced Wildcat
(only one small mould), then we’ll go with the P-51,
and for the Summer we’ll try for the 1:48 scale
Hurricane.
In the meantime, different design of the next models
will continue. In the second half of 2020, we hired
two designers who are expected to prepare two
models a year. One of the projects is already well
advanced.
Your purchases of Arma Hobby models can help
speed up the news, as long as Covid is dwindling.”
HI-DECAL MIG-15 BIS DECALS
Hi-Decal has announced a reprint and update of a decal sheet that will
be available in 1:48 and 1:72 scales, just in time for the new Bronco
1:48 scale MiG-15 bis kit:
Here is our just reprinted and widely updated sheet HD48009 for the
MiG-15 bis Fagot B.
This sheet is also available, with the respective update, under the Cat.
N° HD72022.
Some additional information regarding the colors of the MiG-15bis
featured on HD 48009 (& HD72022)
Red 40 is camouflaged in dark green and dark sand over light blue
grey
Black 12 is red over polished aluminium
The other birds are painted in "Russian Aluminium" (i.e. the famous
clear lacquer with aluminium powder)
