  15. 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.
  16. 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

  22. PLUSMODEL AERO line 1:32 Tempest Pilot Catalogue number - AL3001 Price tag: $23,90/€16,80 Available from Plusmodel Another pilot on this Easter day and once again from Plus Model A couple of years now, Plusmodel was a new line called “AeroLine” with figures, details sets and others accessories for aircraft and here on Lage Scale Modeller we have the honor of review almost every item of this line. Let´s see the box. The usual clear plastic box, shows what you get, three resin pieces containing a 1:32 representation of a WW2 Tempest pilot in a relaxed pose, retaining one hand a cup of coffee or more probably, a cup of tea and another the helmet. This figure comes in three pieces with both arms separate from the main body (Head, Torso, and legs). The main body, cast in a single piece, with sharp details in the cloths. The detail is really awesome and just continues to prove that Plusmodel knows what is doing. The sculptor did a hell of a job on this (love the relaxed look and the cup of tea!!) and Plusmodel did a fantastic casting of it. The figure of the pilot has a good attitude and a great facial expression. For painting instruction, the label’s back is printed with a large full-color draw of the figure. Conclusion: The figure is spectacular with a very cool look and full and genuine details making it a must have to be right at SP 1:32 Tempest. Undoubtedly, a great figure with a great style that will look great next to a 1:32 Tempest. Very Highly recommended. Our thanks to Plusmodel for the review samples and all the support given.
