Hobby Master releases for December!!!

Hobby Master has posted the new releases for December and man there's some exciting stuff!!! NEW is a 1/144 Junkers Ju 52!!! And here everyone was thinking 1/144 was dead!!! 

There's a 1/72 MiG 15 in Soviet colours at last!!! Then there's a Vietnam F-102 Delta Dagger. A couple of Harvards and a Harrier. In 1/48  there's also a new Fw-190.

The BEST new however is that the 1/48 SAAF Korean War P-51D Mustang is definitely happening!!!!

Some hard to find models inbound!!!

As you all know we do specialise in finding those hard to find gems. Inbound are one or two that may pickle your senses. First up is Corgi 1/72 Presidential Sea King. Boy, did this one take some time to find!

The Bob Doe 1/32 Spitfire is next. This model has just recently been released. It sold out virtually instantly! Gone in the US market in days and just hitting the shores in the UK. Also an instant sell out! I guess that's because 1/32 has been very quiet these last few years AND it's a Spitfire.

Corgi has also released the Graf 109 with the red tulip nose in 1/32 and this model is still available. A 1/32 Corgi Mosquito FB.VI is also on the cards and this should be released in the first quarter next year.

The photo of the Spitfire with the tribute to Bob Doe was taken by Dilli from DAF.

We also found two older Corgi Bf109s and Harriers. Really great finds. In addition a three tone Dragon C-5 is also winging its way over here. Some very happy collectors out there then.

Thing is we've also encountered some issues with postage from Europe with a consignment of 1/72 battle tanks going missing! Not so good.


SPY SHOT!!!!!

Just have a look at what popped up on the net!!!! I haven't yet been able to confirm this yet but take a look!!!! How about a 1/48 scale Korean War SAAF Mustang???

You will notice some 1/72 helicopters, Whirlwind, Chinook, Sea King and 1/48 WWI biplanes, Spad XIII, SE5a, Fokker DVII in the mix, all new releases too. Hopefully the WWI planes will have the new "wood look" props as opposed to the very plastic looking ones released previously. Standby for some more pics!!!
