1/144 Ju-87G 'Stuka' DUAL COMBO SUPER44 - Eduard

1/144 Junkers Ju 87G 'Stuka' DUAL COMBO SUPER44 - Eduard

Not much information at the moment, probably just a reissue with two in a box rather than a remold?
Interesting strategy though, having let Mark 1 models re-issue their old back catalogue 109s & 190s Eduard then choose to reissue their Ju087s themselves?

Release Date: March 2014

1/144 Ju-52 Decals by Print Scale

1/144 Ju-52 Decals by Print Scale
I thought I had featured this company before, maybe it was on the KG144 BBS?
Print Scale Decals based in Russia are quietly expanding their range of 1/144 decals and are definitely worth a strong consideration when it comes to deciding what scheme you are going to paint your next kit or repaint and existing gashapon! The review for the larger scales are positive and their use of colour and registration id well executed.

1/144 "Velikie Pobedi" (Great Glory's) Kits

In August I featured a new Russian based magazine and kit series (here), since then I have received further information on the magazine : "Velikie Pobedi" (Great Glory's) It would appear to come with 1/72 figures and 1/144 Aircrat and 1/144 Tanks. Via the Tancist website there are more images and comparisons available.

Items features are T-34, IL-2 and a JU-87 and are accompanied by a Magazine

As stated, and as you can see the kits cover the main subjects of the 'Great Patriotic War' and therefore the target audience should relate to them with ease. The Tank kits dont look too bad, although the Ju-87 is a bit basic in some areas and doest not stack up against the the still imperious original cando or the recent issues this year.

Thamks to Etendard for providing me with the links

1/144 Diorama "Götterdämmerung", Austria 1945 by Lucas

Lucas is back with another epic diorama build, not one, but two aircraft and interesting diorama!

The diorama is set in 1945 Austria (Innsbruck/Salzberg area), the luftwaffe have retreated into the mountains and are flying what aircraft they can from often temporary grass airstrips. As the Allied troops advance the airstrips are abandend and the aircraft sabotaged, the allied troops are then abale to sieze them..., and before they are shipped to the the USA/UK the Kodak camera comes to cpature the moment!

I think it is work looking at the full build history, there are some interesting techniques on how to detail and dress up your diorama. Even down to the figures being atonomically rearranged!

Also, no corners are cut with the aircraft. Again full details are given on how they were produced.
It is hard to fault such an allround and thought out presentation, a lot of work went into the research and short of putting a mountian in the background i think it has come good!

Full build history can be seen on http://www.spruemaster.com/ I is a little slow at times, but worth the wait...
