Hi everyone,
Before we get to the new stuff, I wanted to update you on Grace. As some
of you know, Grace underwent some pretty serious surgery two weeks ago.
She is recovering nicely. We got great news at her follow-up appointment
on Monday, where she got a clean bill of health. We would both like to
thank you for keeping her in your thoughts. I let Grace know about the
multitude of good wishes you all have sent her way, she was deeply touched by your concern.
Now, on to the new stuff! These items are already here:
We have a limited stock of the new AK Xtreme Metal enamels and the
accompanying gloss black base coat. All nine shades are in stock at
$11.99 each. Staying with paints, we have a full restock of the Hataka acrylic aircraft camo sets. The sets vary in size and cover subjects from WWII RAF, US, Soviet and Luftwaffe to Vietnam and Cold War jets. Prices vary according to size. From Kagero, we have a super new hardbound 3D monograph on Bf-109 Early Versions. It’s about 180 pages and is a good deal at $39.95. Also in from Kagero are new books on the P-40 Warhawk ($22.95) and a 3D volume on the Type VIIC U-Boat ($26.95).
For you SF fans, Monarch has released their Gorgo kit in a “Frightening
Lightning” glow-in-the-dark version. It’s here at $39.99. Also in are
the Atlantis 1/72 UFO from the Invaders TV show and the Pegasus 1/32
Terminator 2 T-800 Endoskeleton set, complete with five poseable 17-piece Terminators and a skull-encrusted display base ($39.99 each).
New car kits from AMT and MPC include the “53 Corvette, ’66 Ford Galaxie
500, ’41 Ford Custom Woody and the ’79 Firebird T/A. The Ford and Vette

and Soviet 85mm Air Defense Gun Late Version (50.99). From HobbyBoss, we have the “5cm Pak(t) Slf.auf Fgst. Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f)” (That’s a German SP gun on a Renault R35 chassis, sells for $54.99) and Soviet ZIS-151 early postwar cargo truck for $68.99. In 1/48, we have the UM Soviet Mod 1939 37mm AA gun and carriage for $23.95.
New figures in include RP Models amazing 100mm (1/17) busts of US Marine John Basilone, the only individual to earn both the Navy Cross AND Medal of Honor; and “Mad” Jack Churchill, a British officer who fought
throughout WWII armed with a longbow, bagpipes, and a basket-hilted
Scottish broadsword (he was quoted as saying that an officer was out of
uniform without a sword). I can’t wait to see what our local figure
painter artists do with these! They are $79.99 each. On a lighter note,
we have the Masterbox 1/35-1/32 Pin-Up set, which includes six ladies
showing their support for the various armed forces while saluting,
brandishing rifles, waving a flag and otherwise posing in bathing suits
and military gear. You can take them home for $19.95.
Due here tomorrow (Friday) is the Kinetic 1/48 Italian/Brazilian AMX
fighter (the Caracal decal sheet for the AMX is already here). In Tuesday

new items in at that time, including more Hataka paint sets for modern US
and Israeli aircraft as well as WWII German, US, Soviet and RAF subjects.
Also coming for the weekend are several new Canfora Press books on armor modelling, dioramas and the first volume of their new "Wingspan" series of books on building 1/32 aircraft. The 1/72 UFO from the classic TV series "The Invaders" will be in too. Hopefully, we'll get a restock on the
Encore 1/48 Skynight (only 1,000 produced) and the Revell 1/32 FW-190F8. Our initial shipments of both kits sold out in the shop in one day...
See you then!
