New Hobby Master Releases for January 2011

New HM releases for January 2011 have been announced! Big news is the new F-5 Tiger II in 1/72. A really good looking fighter aircraft, the first release is an F-5N in US Navy Reserve Sundowners colours.

The standout for me is another RAAF PIG!!!! An F-111G in dark overall grey celebrating 60 years of the RAAF. There's a couple of WWII era Dauntless dive bombers as well another F-4 Phantom and AV-8B Harrier all in 1/72.

In 1/48 we see another Fw 190 but this time an unusual model with streamlined tanks on top of the wings. Only 80 aircraft were produced and it was an attempt to improve speed without the drag caused by the centre line drop tank.

In 1/144 we see the second Ju-52 release, this time in the livery celebrating the 1936 Olympics. 

Hobby Master has also introduced two new weapons sets for the A-10 Warthog. This is an interesting development since collectors have been calling for more accurate weapons loads. HM has improved the load outs on their latest A-10 releases and now those with earlier releases can update their ordinance!
