Hobby Master releases for June 2013.

Things are looking up with the June HM releases looking a lot more healthy than the last few in the past months. It's good to see an RAF Boston Mk.IV and a Bf-110G-4 in 1/72.

Of course there's also plenty of jets in 1/72, an Israeli F-16 and Top Gun A-4E Skyhawk are highlights but there's also a good looking Japanese F-104DJ Starfighter, EF-111A Raven and a Texas ANG F-101F Voodoo.

In 1/48 there's an Israeli P-51D and a camouflaged Hawker Fury.

A new addition has joined the IWM collection - a Westland Lynx. it arrived yesterday and is still in the process of being prepared for display. It looks very good though and is a great addition and very relevant to the collections remit of covering modern conflict.

Shuttle's Report - Duxford 05/04/2013


A bit of activity today as the BBMF Hurricane made a second flight in its new colours. It looks very good and has to be one of the best looking of the flying Hurricanes? A BBMF Chipmunk was also on the flight line.

The IWM Spitfire is still being worked upon along with a myriad of tanks, human torpedo's and the Harrier. Most of the flying aircraft are being prepared for the air show season.

The new 'historic Duxford' Watch Office exhibition is open and has lots of very interesting exhibits including a replica of a portion of the original Watch Office.
