1/350 Trumpeter Collection "La chasse aux papillons"

1/350 Trumpeter Collection "La chasse aux papillons"
==========================================
.
The hunt of the butterflies!
.
They are the work of Master Sheye from the Czech Republic.
.
These are obviosly not a scale we usually feature on this site by a long way, however:
I think the skill, the original idea and attention to detail of the modelling and presentation are so much fun that they deserve to be seen by more people!
.
Remember these are 1/350 Trumpeter kits !!!

Thanks to Jarda

.

It is from a "Fiddlers Green" model at 1/60 scaled down to 1/160...

1/144 Y-Kraft Decals via 1-144 Direct

1/144 Y-Kraft Decals via 1-144 Direct

-------------------------------------------

.

1-144 Direct has commissioned two sets of decals from Y-Kraft (Japan) to assist in prodcution of kits.

.

Due to the Legal contrainsts issues with portraying insignia associated with WWII in certain main land European countries kit makers have started doctoring or omitting them from their kits and models. To facilitate the completion of these models in response to customer demans 1-144 Direct has created a range of decals to support this.

.

Set YK-01 is of hakkenkreuz that are design to provide markings for Bf-109, FW-190 through to Ju-87 (larger tailplane than you think) , He-111, Fw-200 and Ju-290. As indicated they area available in a number of sizes and colour/form options.

.

Set YK-02 is DAK Deutsches Afrikakorps marking, of the familiar Palmtree insignia.

One set provides a range of colurs and sizes for Trucks, Tanks etc.

.

Also not to be missed are the Staffel marking set!

.

Decals for other nationalities such as the USA & UK are also available

1/144 F-15J/DJ GiMIX Series 02 by Takara

=================================

.

The Accountants at takara must be parting, because Takara are producing the same basic airframe with new paint time and again! (they even beat Sweet).

.

We must now have almost as many F-15 as there are Zeros or Bf-109s?

.

Well, here we go.... The next Takara Aircraft range is another F-15 GIMIX range (e.g Lights in the engines etc) and colourful paint schemes!

.

Due: December 2009

Price: 2,100 yen!??

.

No, i havent made a mistake with F-15 DJ Images, they are not the same, there is a difference in serial numbers!!

1/144 Westland Wyvern by Miniwing.cz (update)

1/144 Wyvern by Miniwing

=====================

If you were enable to but a Damiya Westland Wyvern in Tokyo recently, do not fear!

.

Miniwing has followed on from the Sea Fury Release Earlier this year and have now produced a nice looking Westland Wyvern of the Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm)

.

This being a new issue has been produced from a mould full of detail, nice and crisp casting.

All in all this is a great looking kit, and will look good amongst the ever increasing range of British 144 kits!

.

The the banded decals are also nice strong bold colours, altough i think some people will be tempted to check there spares box for alternative roundals.

1/144 Mirage IIIb & Mirage IIIc - Miniwing

1/144 Dassault Mirage IIIb & Mirage IIIc - Miniwing.Cz
==========================================

.

Another set of great models released by Miniwing.

The Dassault Mirage III type "B" and "C", Twin and Single Seat Varients.

.

Designed in the 1950s entered service earler 1960s and was to see service in over a dozen airforces!

.

As you could imagine most of the parts will be the same for both kits except the extended two seater fuselage and canopy.

.

The detail is again good on these products and the casting good!

.

This is a reissue of the FE-Resin Kit, but with new decals!

.

As well as the usual decals there are also walkways etc.

.

Well worth a look, and i am sure with some imagination that aftermarket decals coulds be added to expand the scenarios these kits could be used in!?
