Wings of the Black Cross X (number ten) - gets a read and a review today...
Eagle Editions in the USA are a well-known
authority on WWII aviation and especially of German aircraft so their
publications are always much anticipated. Number ten of their “Wings of the
Black Cross” has just arrived and I have high hopes – written by Mark Proulx and with some excellent
images in the previews we saw we anticipated its arrival and now we can show
you what it looks like in our review..

Preview: SON OF SHERMAN - VOLUME 1 - the first of the Sherman trillogy
Ampersand Publishing

detailed and full of great pics but also pretty good in value – we think that they have taken the cake with the detail, reference and price on their long
awaited opus “SON OF SHERMAN VOLUME 1:
The Sherman, Design and Development” If you like this tank then you really
should take a look this preview..

Preview: B-17G 1/32 HKM landing flaps from Eduard
The HK Kit of the B-17 in 1/32 scale is indeed a monster. You would think that
seeing it isn't officially out yet and the overall size of the thing would
prevent add-on aftermarket being made for it – but Ohh no! Eduard has thrown their hat in the ring early with their 1/32nd
scale photo etch improvement set for the flaps – be prepared to be blown away!

A flying tiger from Young Miniatures savages the opposition this month
Young Miniatures
often provides us with very lovely figure busts that are well appreciated by
the modelling public – but I think that this one here – of a member of the “Flying
Tigers” AVG unit from WWII - that will prove a must buy for many modellers in
May …

The new T-90A from MENG is just floating on the horizon…
World of tanks players have all just wet themselves – the T-90
Russian main battle tank is on the way
in 1/35th scale from model makers MENG. The Russian T-90 is capable of doing lots of amazing things
and looking pretty mean with it’s red “eyes” this has been on modellers lists
for a long time – they have some help from noted people as well so this could
be a very good thing…

Barracuda Studios want to dress up the Cowl of your Owl.... and new heels on your wheels
Barracuda Studios – Proud
purveyor of some fine resin, decals and books for the modeller – well they have
hit a bit of a rich vein recently, with their ME 262 wheels and P-47 gear, their
spitfire add-ons, they are certainly giving modellers what they want. Their latest
sets are the new Diamond tread wheels and Open cowls for the Revell and ZM kits
of the Heinkel He-219. They look well worth the adding on!

Review & construction: The creature from the Black Lagoon (and his lady friend) in 1/8th scale from Moebius Models
Moebius Models have
brought out their second kit the Classic universal Movie monster The Creature
from the Black Lagoon. This figure brings not only a lady friend but sits on a
base to suit as well – we look at the
kit and put it together to see if it is indeed a monster or maybe just a
little nipper….

so we grabbed their first book on the most produced and maybe a little mythical
tank – called “T-34 on the Battlefield” you
can guess what the book is all about – we read it and this is what we thought..
