Pz.Sp.Wg.AB 41 201(i) (Part 1) AB 41 armoured car is well-known for their service under Heer and Waffen-SS units during WWII. Given it's rather intimidating, bullish appearance, coupled with camouflage paint and interesting markings, it can be a very interesting subject to model after. This set is predominantly AB 41s marked with germanic-styled names. The camouflage paint and name (some with unit symbols) combination as an interesting subject speaks for itself.

Back in stock! German Fire Extinguisher Labels of WWII (Part 1) Finely printed, down to the exact fonts seen on actual examples. Each label is produced from an larger, more refined format down-scaled to 1/35. Whilst most text can't be seen at this level, one is assured of the highest integrity when it comes to form. Proper tan colour is used on the tan label (not substituted by yellow, an added cost but well-worth the effort for accuracy sake). An interesting highlight is the label with red (it's data plate printed in silver over black), this is from an example produced by Concordia Dortmund. Finally, the set also includes a smaller yellow label (never produced in this scale before), which is often placed on the sides of the extinguishers. Each set comes with 20 labels, divided over 5 styles.

Pz.Sp.Wg.AB 41 201(i) (Part 1 & 2 combo) This set is a combination of sets D356285 and D356286, for those who wants all of AB 41 markings in one set. This set is limited in quantity. Description of D356285: AB 41 armoured car is well-known for their service under Heer and Waffen-SS units during WWII. Given it's rather intimidating, bullish appearance, coupled with camouflage paint and interesting markings, it can be a very interesting subject to model after. This set is predominantly AB 41s marked with germanic-styled names. The camouflage paint and name (some with unit symbols) combination as an interesting subject speaks for itself. Description of D356286: AB 41 armoured car is one of the many non-german AFVs utilised by Wehrmacht and Waffen SS in their campaigns during WWII. Given it's rather intimidating, bullish appearance, coupled with camouflage paint and interesting markings, it can be a very interesting subject to model after. This set covers one uniquely marked vehicle - with a figure head caricature of "Satan" which is placed all over the vehicle. Next comes a vehicle from an SS Police Regiment unit "Bolzano", with a stylised name across the hull front, above the vision cover. Another unit (unidentified) used predominantly card shapes, marked on the front fender and turret rear. Coupled with interesting 3 tone pattern, it would make an appealing subject.

Messerschmitt Me-210/Messerschmitt Me-410B-2/U4 colours and markings. Designed in accordance with the 'Zerstorer' (heavy fighter-bomber) concept just prior WWII, the Me 210 was, however, a failure in terms of flying characteristics. Following extensive modifications, its successor, the Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet), was produced in substantial numbers and many variants and saw operational service in Italy and North Africa, and over Germany and Central Europe. The improved Me 210 was also licence-built in Hungary. The publication has 28 pages, including a total of 49 overall and detailed photographs, 12 pages with colour camouflage schemes and their description. Text in English. A comprehensive decal sheet is added for modellers' convenience. Following aircraft are depicted on each decal sheet: Luftwaffe (7x), Royal Hungarian Air Force (1x), Royal Air Force (2x), Soviet Air Force (1x) and Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (1x).

Curtiss XP-55 Ascender By Gerry Balzer, 72-pages, 148-b&w photos, 4-color photos. The Curtiss XP-55 Ascender was a tailless swept-wing WWII pusher fighter design born out by the USAAC 1940 fighter competition. The USAAC was looking for a fighter to counter the threat of the German Bf-109 and the Japanese Zero and replace the obsolete P-35s, P-36s and the front line P-40s just entering service. From this competition three unusual pusher prototypes were ordered, the Consolidated XP-54, Curtiss XP-55, and the Northrop XP-56. A low powered full scale flying model (model CW 24B)was built out of wood and cloth to substantiate the flying qualities, and was first flown on 2 December 1941. The XP-55 mock-up was completed in August 1942, and the first of three XP-55s was completed on 26 June 1943 with its first flight being conducted on 13 July 1943. The first aircraft was destroyed on 15 November 1943. Changes deemed necessary were incorporated in the second airframe in which performance testing began on 16 September 1944. Although the much more capable P-38, P-47, and P-51 had entered service, research into the XP-55s unusual design continued. The third XP-55 had entered flight testing in April 1944 and was used at Eglin Field for armament tests before being lost during a war bond rally display on 27 May 1945. By then the program had been terminated. Today, the second XP-55 presides in restored condition at the Kalamazoo Air Museum.

Building the Wingnut Wings Hannover Cl.II Albatros Productions have just published the eighth title in their acclaimed Modelling Special series. For all those serious enthusiasts seeking to get the very best from this excellent kit, WWI aero-historian and author Ray Rimell brings over 60 years of modelling experience to present a truly comprehensive guide for creating a perfect miniature in 54 colourful and inspiring pages. Profusely illustrated with over 190 images, his unique monograph carries an extensive build- log of WNW's Hannover kit with extended coverage on painting and decal application helping modellers to achieve a realistic and convincing finish. Each stage of the assembly is discussed in meticulous step-by-step detail with supportive archive photos and contemporary sketches along the way. Every key aspect is featured, from super-detailing cockpits, Argus engine, armament and observer's gun ring, to specialized treatment of 'lozenge' fabric covering and creating masks for the complex fuselage camouflage pattern. In addition there are nine new colour profiles from Ronny Bar including a multi-view centre-spread, along with a 12 page gallery of rare wartime images, most previously unpublished and reproduced to large area format highlighting the smallest of details. For modellers looking to convert the kit to Cl.III or Cl.IIIa variants, the book covers that too with 1:32 scale fuselage drawings of both aircraft. With comprehensive after -market accessory and decals listings, plus a jargon-buster and an extensive bibliography, the latest Special is a goldmine of modelling lore and full-size data for these famous German WWI two-seaters. Whilst the focus of attention is naturally on the WNW kit, this high-quality publication will also prove equally invaluable for those building model Hannovers to any scale.
