New Hobby Master Releases for June 2011

June releases from Hobby Master include some interesting new models. Of particular interest is the SAAF Hawker Fury, No. 206, limited to 800 pieces and in 1/48 scale. Also in 1/48 is a Brewster Buffalo in USMC colours.

In 1/72 the are few items of interest. The BIGGEST news is that Hobby Master is eventually releasing a 3 tone camouflaged MiG-21!!! Many having been asking for the particular scheme. It comes in the for of the MiG-21SMT which also has a humpback for additional fuel.

There's also F-111F, Miss Liberty II, that led the attack on Lybia in 1986. There's the Toilet Bomber Skyraider with the accompanying toilet!!! Yes, you read correctly, a toilet!!! This was to celebrate dropping 6 million pounds of bombs on Vietnam. 

There's an Iranian F-5E Tiger II that will go very well with the upcoming F-4E Phantom II in the same colours. A USMC F-4 Phantom that had the tail painted in Royal Navy colours after it landed on the Ark Royal.






Check out the toilet on the bomb rack!!!!

Dora 9 Diecast joins Facebook.

Yes, we've joined facebook!!!! This with a view to maximising our footprint and  generating more interest in Military Diecast Aviation.

This is a steep learning curve that with hopefully pay dividends in the future. Being new to Facebook, things may start out slowly as we get the feel for the system. 

Hopefully regular visitors here will have a look as we get things going. More communication and interaction can only be a good thing. See you all there!!!

SR-71B Blackbird!!!!

Having previous sold a couple of SR-71As I thought it would be interesting to see how the SR-71B from Century Wings would be received. Having an additional cockpit and ventral strakes makes it visually different from the A model and with NASA livery, adds a touch of colour to the Blackbird.

Some Ozzies inbound!!!

Further too requests from clients, some Ozzies, in the form of the A-4 Skyhawk and F-111 Aarvark (known as the PIG in Australia), are winging their way over to SA. Both are 1/72 models from Hobby Master and both are currently the picks of the crop in their respective ranges.
