What next in catapult bussiness?

We are thinking about next 1:72 scale catapult models. As the P-6 USN 1:72 scale catapult was released a year ago now is a time to prepare something new.

There are three options:

DKM Bismarck - everybody knows that aircraft with Swastica sells well. Unfortunately our company is not targeted at average modelers. We try to do someting special for naval aviation fans.

CAM -ship - a British merchant with catapult for Hurricane. A very big kit, with war battered Hurry is something I can not resist.

IJN Yamato - biggest one Battleship ever. Plastic catapult was already released by Fujimi I think.

and fourth is - your choice - you can vote too.

There is available poll in our website attacksquadron.pl, you are invited to take a part in our new product survey. See on the right column at top.

Fantastic Navy airplane models

Today I recommend another website with excellent built naval aircraft models. It is Diego Quijano blog. Diego is spanish modeller from Tenerife.

First model is fantastic Fujimi 1:72 scale F-18 in Spanish markings. Very tasteful camouflage scheme of former VFA127 adversary airplane repainted slightly in Spanish Aviation service. Noteworthy are almost all scratch built interior details including cockpit, avionics bays and gun bay.

Second model is 1:72 scale Eduard Hellcat built almost out of the box. As usual painting work is excellent.

Navy planes and pilots

We recommend this blog. You can find there a lot of interestings photos of people, planes and other equipment, all in high resolution.

For example, I found a photo of SBD with two Mk 17 depth charges lately.
