LOOOOVE IT!!

Last year, in Telford (2018), Hph had the Sm-79 mock up in display. Now On plastic probably will be less expensive.

Hum... For me sounds good... For much I enjoy HpH choices, they are quite expensive... I couldnt resist the Catalina Cutway and their Hornet but that was it... Unfortunally I let go the he-111 Cutway conversion... So, Ifinity is a good news. Fran

I will be entering with this one:

love it!! Pre-cut mask or home made mask?

Count me in Ern, thanks. Let me see what do I have in my stash! Fran

PLUSMODEL Big Wicker Baskets (12 resin pieces) Catalogue n.º 537 Price tag: $20/€14 – directly from Plusmodel Once again, here I am reviewing another set of Wicker Baskets… this time some bigger ones. As usual, the quality behind all Plusmodel is top noch. All the parts come with the usual packing, in small paper boxes with the parts wrap in bubbles plastic. The set of Big Wicker Baskets are used in everywhere in the world and for a very long time, so you can use this in a XVIII diorama, a WWI ou WWII or even a Vietnam diorama. So you practically can use it everywhere. In the box, you find 6 different types of wickers baskets, only four of them are duplicated. Has I said in the other review, I’m overwhelmed by the parts details. The texture, the wick interlace is really notice and very well done in realistic manner. The small details as handles and lid are cast in separate parts, which is quite good as its gives the modeller much more display options. There aren’t any in this set and is not really need it. Conclusion What can I say?? A perfect set for any diorama modeler that would like some extra detail. This set is just jaw-dropping. I know it´s simple set but the detail finesse and real look of the wicker is too good to be true. What do you want more? VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Our truly thanks to Plusmodel for the review samples.

PLUSMODEL Stabile Engine (catalogue n.º 505) Available from Plusmodel Prize tag:33.30$/23.40€ And here I go again, reviewing my favourite diorama/accessories brand. To be honest was quite difficult to try to understand and know what the hell is a stabile engine. So I had to ask and cry for help to Petr from Plusmodel that told me that a “stable engine is an internal combustion engine designed to drive agricultural machinery, such as cutter, threshing machine, etc.” So it´s fair to say that is a “stability engine” made by the company “Slavia”. I didn’t found much but for what I have research, this light engine was in fact commonly used in farm works early part of 20th century. Not much I know but I even found a video from Youtube with the exact stabile engine that Plusmodel reproduce: Or this one also from “Slavia” So this little engine is quite suitable since WWI, I think. And I already have a project for it. As all product from Plusmodel, the stabile engine came with the usual packing, in small paper boxes with the parts wrap in bubbles plastic. Inside there are 30 resin parts, PE fret and decals with metal wire. The resin is in dark grey with a bit of flash but nothing that you can solve with a new n.º 11 blade but the casting is top quality as usual Also no bubbles or wrapping is notice in all resin parts... as usual, top noch from Plusmodel. The PE is unpainted and contains several little details and two mesh. All parts looks very fragile so handle with extra care. The decal sheet, as all others ,looks like Plusmodel own production, with very good registration, color pigmentation and very thin carrier film. The instructions are a simple paper sheet with assembly diagram, decal placement directions. Nothing to report on this one, as they are clear to follow in the construction and decal guidance. No color guide is given but the boxart is a good color reference. Conclusion Well, I got no much to say that I haven’t said before. Once again Plusmodel did it: quality, easy to construct, originality and good prices. This engine, as most of Plusmodel set is easy to be a part of a larger project... I sure mine will! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Our truly thanks to Plusmodel for these review samples.

Broken Wings Captured & Wrecked Allied Aircraft of the Blizkrieg. Aircraft Pictorial series, #2 Publisher: Canfora Graphic Design & Publishing Price: 29€ (EU price) At LSM we had the pleasure to read, view and review several past titles from Canfora Publishing, like the Wingspan Vol. I, Vol.II, Rare Wheels, T-60 and others. And also the first books of this series also passed in LSM. Check here. Today we have in hands a new title in this series: Broken Wings, also written by Tom Leamlein. This book have some unpublished pictures from author private collection and all are from Allied aircraft in a specific era: Blitzkrieg. As the first book of this serie, the idea is to compile the best pictures of fallen aircraft. Like others books from Canfora as Wingspan, this one is produced in soft-cover landscape format with 176 glossy pages. The quality paper is a reference in Canfora books, that helps a lot in the printing stage of thousands of black and pictures that have more than 70 years. I have been a modeler for 30 years now, and some of these pictures (several ones) are totally new to me and as my acknowledge, is the first time that most as published. So, these pictures were taken by German troops in the early stages of WWII. As the first serie book, this volume is also a truly and fantastic inspiration to all modellers, that will give to us some very new and good ideas for aircraft dioramas. All the pictures are in black and white and in the cover, a Curtiss Hawk H-75A3, flown by S/lt Rey of GC 1/5, shot down on May 18, 1940 (French Air Force). This volume its about several nations aircrafts, like France, U.K., Soviet, Poland, The Netherlands, Belgium, ex-Yugoslavia after crash landing or soil destruction. The book is divided and organized by nation, with the insignia on the top right of the page, starting with Polish Air Force and ending ex-USSR Air Force. So some of the aircraft are less know from the general modeler like the Amiot 143, Zmaj Faziz FN or the Kharkiv KhAI-5. So several types from those air forces are covered. Conclusion Is the book a good value for the modeler? Yes as it give the modelers, besides inspiration for new projects, very good and useful pictorial information of the airplanes in large and good resolution pictures. For me, it as work as an inspirational as I just have more future project in my head... thanks Canfora! Thanks to Toni and Canfora Publishing for the review sample. Fran

Great review!! Thanks
