HADmodels DRY-WATER decals, Printed by Eduard

Decal sheet with REMOVABLE CLEARCOAT
Like this seems every signs, like a painted area.

Explanation of HADmodels DRY-Water decals:

These decals were named DRY-Water (with the prefix DW in the product description) because after being soaked in water, they behave like traditional water decals: we apply them to the surface, after the appropriate SET-SOL treatment, we wait for them to dry completely on the model, then we varnish them after drying and that&#039;s it.
However, there is also a special feature:
HADmodels DRY-Water decals will also have a big advantage for professional modelers:

After applying them, it is possible to remove the top layer of varnish from the decal by waiting for the complete drying time (this is at least 24 hours). This way we can create an effect as if it had been painted on.

Methods for this:
Option 1: dry. Carefully scrape the edge with a pair of tweezers and then remove the edge by holding it. This is time-consuming and in most cases only comes off in pieces, but it works.
This method can be done with Tamiya masking tape, or using Blue-tech mounting clay. Carefully place it on the sticker and pick up the masking tape or blue-tech clay with gentle movements.
2nd Option: Using AK White Spirit. Wet a piece of paper tissue with AK White Spirit, then place it on the decal and wait about. 5 minutes Then, with an earwax, carefully rub it from the edges inwards.
This is the safer method and thus the varnish layer can be removed at the same time, it does not tear apart.

We recommend this varnish layer removal only at YOUR OWN risk!

There are many videos about them on Youtube, type in the search box: Using Eduard decals. Price:&amp;pound;15.99</description>

The Mustang is a very popular aircraft modelling subject and our latest book will go some way towards unpicking the variants and schemes that apply to the type.
 This book was first published in 2013 and has been out-of-print since 2019. Since the success of our book on the later types, AM18 The NA P-51D/K Mustang, we have had a lot of requests about the availability of the earlier book and so we thought now would be a good time to publish a second edition. 
This edition is totally revised and updated plus there are 3 new kit builds and all-new kit reviews. This sixth book in our much acclaimed series contains 272 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and Mustang enthusiast should be without:
 60+ pages of technical information 
 50+ pages of walk-around images and technical diagrams 
30+ pages of camouflage and markings 
30+ pages of model builds and modelling information
 200+ photographs including wartime images
 Colour side views and stencil diagram by Richard J. Caruana

<description>SchPzAbt 503 Tiger Is Kursk 1943 Operation Citadel 2.K &amp; St.
Complete 2. Kompanie and Stabskompanie marking set for sAbt 503 Tiger Is during the Kursk offensive &quot;Operation Citadel&quot;, in a nutshell. Essentially, Kursk &#039;43 503th Heavy Battalion markings and organisation (part of), demysified. While the unit did utilise various numeral &amp; cross styles across the companies, 2. K Tiger was most consistent on the use of number and balkenkreuz styles. Although the spacings between digits varied between tanks. Some were unevenly aligned. The set removes all these guess-work for each Tiger. Just pick the option and move forward. 

Stabskompanie hull and turret crosses, albeit looking very similar to the rest of the kompanie, actually used balkenkreuz stencils different from the rest of the Tigers. This was discovered during the creation process. Even 1. and 3. Kompanie crosses were matched against them - did not fit. The whites and blacks were of different proportions on the Stabstigers. 

The illustrations also highlight which production batch that each Tiger came from, including unique details (if there were any) that were installed on the vehicle. The entire Kompanie is illustrated except for 1 vehicle, in one way or another (not inclusive of all possible replacement or replaced tanks that were missed out), thus revealing the full organisational structure of the kompanie itself. Of interest is that each zug (platoon) had 3 Tigers, instead of 4. And 4 Zugs in total, instead of 3. Ultimately, still the same number of Tigers for each kompanie, but organised differently. Tiger &quot;243&quot; is not illustrated as there was no images to support the artwork at the time of print. Although numerals for &quot;243&quot; are still provided, in order to make 2.K markings complete. 

Battalion emblems (4 variations) are provided, they were researched and drawn from actual markings. 

Like all large Echelon decal sets, much effort went into research and creation. The Kursk 43 503 sets took an even greater effort, over a span of 2 years, as there were huge amount of information to gather, sort and process. The accumulation of information alone took way longer than that.

2. Kompanie Tigers were assigned to go into battle with 19. Pz. Div.

<description>US GMC PD-3751 &quot;Silverside Trailwagon&quot; Trailways Company 
Intercity bus designed in the mid-1930s by Yellow Coach for one of the largest US coach companies, Greyhound Lines. The bus was a revolution in auto construction; corrugated aluminium and plastic materials were widely used in its build. Special attention was paid to maximum comfort for passengers. Following the construction of a wide network of high-quality highways during the Great Depression, rail passenger traffic almost stopped due to its inability to compete with high speed road transport. Series construction was undertaken at the Pontiac West Assembly plant in Pontiac, Michigan, where General Motors built pick-ups and trucks. In addition to Greyhound Lines, buses of this type were used by other national carriers such as Trailways Travels. Silverside bus operations continued almost until the end of the 1950s, after which a large number were sold to other countries, notably in Latin America.. Price:&amp;pound;79.99</description>

<description>Southend Airport Size 675mm x 675mm

Formation and early years
 
Southend Airport can trace its ancestry back to the Great War when it was established by the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in 1915. It was briefly passed over to the Royal Navy Air Service (RNAS) in the same year with limited flying duties being carried out. In 1916 the airfield passed back to RFC control when it became RFC Rochford and used as a training centre for RFC pilots. It also became an important base from which to launch defensive missions against German Gotha and Zeppelin raids on London. At this time, Nos. 11, 37 and 61 Squadrons RFC were stationed there. Following the Armistice, the airfield was decommissioned and in 1919 it was passed back to arable land.
 
Reopening and the Second World War
 
In 1933, the land was purchased by the Southend On Sea Corporation and in 1935, the site was reopened and was used as a municipal airport serving London. In 1939, it was taken under RAF control and became RAF Rochford, with Supermarine Spitfires, Hawker Hurricanes and Bristol Blenheim&#039;s being stationed there, and some of the old infrastructure survives to this day, notably Pickett Hamilton retractable pillboxes, the nearby underground defence control room, an air raid shelter and the remnants of hardstandings. During the war, a number of units were based there; Nos. 37, 54, 65, 121 (Eagle), 222 (Natal), 264, 310 and 313 (Czech), 324, 350 (Belgian), 402, 403 and 411 (Canadian), 453 (Australian) and 603 Squadrons.
 
Post war operations
 
Following the Second World War, the site was renamed Southend Municipal Airport and it was re-established for civilian use, opening in January 1947 with the addition of two runways in 1955 and 1956.
 
It is interesting to note that Channel Airways was formed in June 1946 by Squadron Leader Reginald &#039;Jack&#039; Jones as an aerial &#039;joy ride&#039; operation flying a single de Havilland Puss Moth and it became East Anglian Flying Services in August the same year. This was one of the first post-war independent British airlines and initially flew from Herne Bay in Kent before moving to Southend on January 5th 1947 and commencing flying operations later in the year. In March 1947, a flying school was formed at the site.
 
1948 to 1949 saw the Berlin Blockade and Southend became a maintenance centre for Aviation Traders Ltd servicing six Bond Air Service Handley Page Halton transports that were based at Wunstorf Aerodrome in West Germany and used in the airlift. Following the operation, Air Traders remained at Southend and became part of the airport&#039;s maintenance and overhaul service.
 
in 1955, Air Charter Ltd began scheduled vehicle ferry operations on behalf of Channel Air Bridge flying from Southend to Calais Bristol 170 Superfreighters. In 1957 an deal was struck with the Belgian national carrier Sabena to operate a service between Southend and Ostend with three Superfreighters in Sabena colours, as well as a service between Southend and Rotterdam.
 
One of the main functions of the airport was to transport British service personnel to Malta and Cyprus using mainly Douglas DC-4 Skymasters. Following a weather event on Christmas Eve 1958 when flights were diverted from Heathrow and Gatwick to Southend due to heavy fog. Until that time, Southend had been seen as only a secondary destination point for flights that required diversion.
 
The sixties
 
In 1962, East Anglian Flying Services became Channel Air. Rival Southend-based independent airline Tradair was taken over by Channel and became a subsidiary passing it&#039;s Vickers Vikings onto the latter. Operating from Southend Channel operated flights to the Channel Islands, Ostend, Paris, and Rotterdam. It also operated a car ferry service from Bristol to Dublin, Jersey, Bilbao and Cork. In 1963, Channel began flights from Southend and Manchester with a single Vickers Viscount and Douglas DC4 that it had also acquired from Tradair. Channel began its first ventures into IT charter flights flying to destinations in the Mediterranean and Ostend, and launched its famous &#039;Golden Jet&#039; livery, with its fleet resplendently finished in white and silver with with golden tail fins and black trim. With the acquisition of another nine Vickers Viscount 700&#039;s acquired from BEA (seven aircraft), Starways (one aircraft) and Bahama Airways (one aircraft), eleven ex-Continental Airlines Viscount 812s and four brand new Hawker Siddeley 748s, Channel expanded its operations further to encompass more destinations.
 
British United Air Ferries (BUAF) was another Essex-based airline operating from Southend and Stansted, and from 1967, headquartered at Southend. Following the merger of Channel Air Bridge and Silver City Airways in 1963, BUAF is famously associated with car ferry flights and operated Bristol Superfreighters on short haul flights to the Channel Islands and northern Europe, with Aviation Traders Carvairs (a DC4 conversion by Aviation Traders) operating on longer haul routes to Switzerland (Geneva and Basle) and Strasbourg. BUAF phased its Superfreighters out in 1967 with the Carvair taking over that types duties able to carry either a combination of (up to) five cars with twenty two passengers or fifty five passengers only.
 
By the mid-1960s, Southend had become a major transport hub but was mainly used for freight and cargo work as at the time, it was not intended to expand the airport to receive the larger jets along the lines of Heathrow and Gatwick.
 
1970s-2000s
 
During the 1970s, cross channel car ferries and hover services from places such as Dover enabled people to cross the channel with their cars more cheaply, and as international car hire businesses were taking off people rarely needed to fly to a destination taking their car with them. As such, the Carvairs were withdrawn from servicing Southend went into a period of routine services albeit quite stable, and as passenger numbers had declined somewhat, Southend became more of a maintenance hub.
 
This lasted until the 1990s when Southend was sold to Regional Airports Ltd and run by that organisation as London Southend Airport. In 2008 the famous Stobart Group bought the site for just £21 million. Stobart Air injected a massive £150 million into improving, and adding to, the facilities at Southend including a railway hub, new control tower, shopping and hospitality and an enlarged terminal. in 2011, Irish airline Aer Arann began operations from Southend to Galway and Waterford, and in the same year low cost British airline EasyJet announced that it would begin flights from with services commencing in 2012 with three Airbus A319s based at Southend. Destinations included Alicante, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro, MÃ¡laga, Jersey, Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza. As of the time of writing, EasyJet operates Airbus A319-100, A320-200, A320neo and A321neo, although as with most airlines the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their business.
 
2010 onwards
 
Expansion and improvement of Southend continued throughout the 2010s, with a new terminal built in 2011 and opened in 2012 for the Summer Olympic Games. Stobart Air also injected more investment into the refurbishing the original terminal building to become a lounge for executive and business customers, and the runway was also extended.
 
In 2014, regional airline Flybe began flights on six routes and although these were scaled back in 2015, but by 2017 Flybe had increased its flights and destinations once more to twelve European destinations and numerous weekly domestic flights to Manchester and Glasgow, along with Dublin. Air Malta began operations from Southend to Cagliari, Catania and Malta in 2018, with the former two destinations being withdrawn a year later. Flybe added Newquay to its list of domestic destinations the same year. Also in 2018, Ryanair also began flights to a number of destinations operating three of its aircraft based at Southend. In May 2019, Scottish regional airline Loganair began operations between Southend and Glasgow, Aberdeen and Stornoway, and in July of the same year, added Carlisle and Derry when those services were diverted from Stansted.
 
The pandemic strikes
 
The COVID-19 pandemic bought about a period of severe disruption and change to Southend. In 2020 Norwegian regional airline Widerøe would transfer its Kristiansand route from Stansted in the early summer, but this was delayed until October. Similarly Loganair suspended its Aberdeen and Carlisle services. Low cost Hungarian carrier Wizz Air cut Southend from two of its routes; Southend-Sibiu and Southend-Vilnius. These were followed by a further cut, Southend-Bucharest. In August 2020, EasyJet decided to suspend its operations for Southend with Ryanair following suit in October 2021. In December 2021 EasyJet announced that they would be reviewing their decision with a view to returning to Southend albeit in a limited capacity.
 
With the gradual easing of COVID restriction, passenger numbers are starting to rise again, so it is hoped that Southend will once again become an important hub for travel and cargo operations.
 
The base itself
 
It will be noted from the schematic diagram that there are items that will need to be added to the base. The main one is the glazed walkway which runs along the flight line. Aerial measurements are given for this, but it will be down to the modeller to research the building and how to construct it. This area can, of course, be trimmed off. The other item is a multiple point floodlight which stands at the adjacent parking are (the position is noted on the schematic). This again would have to be constructed using photographs to determine the height.. Price:&amp;pound;19.99</description>

<description>Messerschmitt Bf-109E-Trop/E-7 Trop Braving Sand and Snow&#039; If you hear &#039;Messerschmitt Bf-109&#039; it no doubt is a synonym for a fighter aeroplane. And what an aeroplane the one-oh-nine was. In active service from 1936 until 1954 in a number of countries, in front line duty since the Spanish Civil War and remained till the end of the Second World War, and some machines even in a couple of post war years. The so-called Emil, which name stands for the 109 E version, was the first version of the type to have been equiped with the DB601 powerplant. It is arguably unmistakably connected with the outbreak of the hostilities, the attack on Poland, Western Europe and Scandinavia. The Battle of Britain was the pinnacle of Emil&#039;s career though, and the type went on to serve with no less success also over the Balkans, Africa or Malta. Until 1941, alongside the most iconic aircraft of all times, the Spritfire, the Emil was the very best the fighter pilots of those time could fly.
 Our model brings no less than four schemes of machines flying over north Africa. Various schemes have been picked up to show how colourful and eye-catching the machines in desert colour might be. And to make the matter even more interesting to the modeller, one of the schemes feature the machine with one of its wings replaced with a new one in European style colours. The parts of the kit are laid out to two styrene sprues and a small one with clear parts. You can build the model with engine cowl and wing gun panels removed, with the wing flaps down and slats in the open position.

 
- superbly accurate and very finely detailed model
- easy assembly
- can be built with the engine cowl removed
- can be displayed with open slats and flaps down
- accurately designed decals featuring markings for four machines, including full set of stencils
- paint masks for wheels and clear parts available too
- wide range of separate detail sets available 2022/03. Price:&amp;pound;13.99</description>

<description>Sikorsky CH-54A &quot;Tarhe&quot; USUALLY £149.80. TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!!. US heavy helicopter (100% new molds) The CH-54 &quot;Tarhe&quot; helicopter was developed by Sikorsky Aircraft, a company founded by the prominent Ukrainian aircraft designer Igor Sikorsky. The first flight of the helicopter (originally named S-64) took place on May 9, 1962. The helicopter was built on a modular principle, which simplified its maintenance and repair. It had a tall three-post landing gear with a front support, which allowed a tractor with a trailer approach its fuselage freely. The helicopter&#039;s powerful winches allowed it to pick up cargo in a hover mode, without the need to land on the ground. During the Vietnam War it evacuated damaged airplanes and various helicopters, transported artillery pieces, cars, tanks and even combat boats on an external sling. It was also used to drop high-powered bombs to clear the forest for an airfield. This helicopter set 10 world records for its class, including lifting a 15-ton cargo to 3307 meters. The civilian version of the helicopter (Erickson S-64 Aircrane) is still in successful operation today.. Price:&amp;pound;99.99</description>

<description>1947 PD-3751 Silverside Bus &quot;Greyhound Lines&quot;
Intercity bus created in the mid-1930s by Yellow Coach for one of the largest US coach companies, Greyhound Lines. The bus was a revolution in auto construction; corrugated aluminium and plastic materials were widely used in its build. Special attention was paid to maximum comfort for passengers. Following the construction of a wide network of high-quality highways during the Great Depression, rail passenger traffic almost stopped due to its inability to compete with high speed road transport. Mass production was undertaken at the Pontiac West Assembly plant in Pontiac, Michigan, where General Motors built pick-ups and trucks. Once the United States entered World War II the mass transportation of military recruits presented a major challenge. The solution was to use Greyhound buses. As early as 1942 they carried more than 130 million passengers, both military and civilian, an impressive figure accounting for almost half the country&#039;s population. After the war, Silversides continued in passenger traffic in the US. Some were sold to third countries, mainly in Latin America. The Greyhound Silverside bus is one of the icons of the United States, along with Ford cars and Boeing aircraft, embodying the significant technological progress the country made in the first half of the 20th century..

<description>VW type 825 &quot;Pick Up&quot; Ferdinand Porsche, a German automotive engineer, developed his famous &quot;people&#039;s car&quot;, the VW Beetle on direct Adolf Hitler&#039;s impulse. During the Second World War, the vehicle was produced in large numbers and in various verisons and modofications, for both the military and the civil users. The Beetle had either two (rear) wheel drive or even four wheel drive. Besides the civil users, the Beetle saw military service with the Wehrmach, Afrika-Korps, Waffen-SS, the police and state authorities of the Third Reich. In 1941, a pick up version was also built known as the Typ 825. The body of the original Typ 82 version was modified and mounted on a four wheel drive chassis, giving a vehicle for a crew of two and offering a large load area. Later, also a type with a box-shaped superstructure was manufactured under the designation Typ 83. The rear load area resin parts, photo-etched parts and decal sheet acompany the kit&#039;s styrene parts. The instruction sheet offers two colour schemes, the first being in sand overall, the other having heavy mottles of green and chockolate brown over the standard sand as the vehicle was operated later in the war..
