ALL-NEW 1:32 FW 190 F-8 FROM REVELL
evell is releasing an all-new 1:32 scale Focke-
Wulf Fw 190 F-8, and it should be available
on hobby shop shelves around the time you’re
reading this.
This is a newly tooled kit, Item No. 04869,
not a rebox of Hasegawa’s Wurger or any older
Revell kit.
The new Fw 190 F-8 will feature full engine
detail, poseable cowls, separate control surfaces
and a range of ordnance.
I’ll look forward to building this as soon as I
can get my hands on one.
In the meantime, Dieter Wiegmann from Revell
has sent photos of his built and painted test shot.
Revell model kits are available from all good
toy and model retailers.

AIRFIX – NEW FOR 2015
irfix has revealed more information about several of
their new and forthcoming releases for 2015:
The Heinkel He 111-P2 was the primary Luftwaffe bomber
during the early stages of World War II. Initial research by
the Airfix Development team revealed existing drawings to be
quite poor, so the team travelled to Norway in January 2014
to LIDAR scan a restored He 111
The plane originally crash-landed on a snow-covered
hillside in 1940, where it remained until its discovery by a
teenage boy in 1943. It was eventually recovered from the
hillside between 1973-76, and its restoration continues today
as more parts are recovered from the site.
The model is slated for release in Q3 2015 to coincide
with the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
1:72 HEINKEL HE 111-P2 - DUE Q3 2015
1:72 WESTLAND SEA KING HC4 - DUE Q4 2015
The Sea King has always been a popular part of the Airfix
range, however the existing model and tooling was beginning
to age. As the team wanted to get the complex shape of
the Sea King 100% correct, they travelled to HMS Sultan in
Gosport in April to painstakingly LIDAR scan a Westland Sea
King HC4.

1:72 BOULTON PAUL DEFIANT MK.1 - OUT NOW!
The Defiant was a key interceptor aircraft used by the Royal
Air Force in World War II, designed as a “turret fighter” with-
out any forward-firing guns. Following initial vulnerability to
the Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Defiant came into its
own as a night fighter.
The Airfix team took the opportunity of carrying out
their research, examining the plane and original drawings, while the only surviving Defiant was under
restoration at MAPS, producing this brand new tooling of a very popular aircraft.
