We just received large shipments from several of our casting firms, and have a number of new items and re-stocks packing right now.

Our 1/350 HMS Starling (K3560) is here--priced at £66.34, and will begin shipping to customers who pre-ordered. Also newly arrived are PE 7215 1/72 Flak Zwilling (£4.21) for the Revell U-boat, and PE 7216 1/72 U.S. Army 37mm Anti-Tank Gun (£4.21) and PE 7217 1/72 USN 40mm Bofors Mk.3 Single Mount (5.91--both for the Revell 1/72 80' Elco PT.

We now have our
Pro 3507 1/350 USN Modern Aircraft Carrier Anchors (£3.36 per pair)
to replace those in the Trumpeter Nimitz and Tamiya Enterprise kits.

In the 1/600 range, we now have

Pro 626 Large Carley Floats

Pro 627 Small Carley Floats

(both priced at £2.95 for 6).

We've also received

1/600 20mm Power Mounts and 5.25" mounts but don't yet have prices for these.

We have finally caught up on our backlog of pre-orders for our

1/700 Renown (K738, £68.04),

so actually have some on the shelves. Look for restocks on some of our 1/700 RN cruisers shortly.

Finally, we've restocked on our

1/350 USS Knox (K3549, £112.30).

I'm also looking to further expand our aircraft paints, moving this time into WW2 French Armee de L'Air/Aeronavale colours:

ACF 01 - Vert Moyen - Medium Green
ACF 02 - Vert Fonce - Ivy Green
ACF 03 - Terre D'Ombre Nat. - Raw Earth
ACF 04 - Chocolat - Burnt Sienna
ACF 05 - Gris Fonce - Dark Grey Blue
ACF 06 - Ombre Calcinee - Dark Earth
ACF 07 - Kaki - Dark Olive Drab (Khaki)
ACF 08 - Vert - Green
ACF 09 - Gris Bleu Clair - Sky Grey
ACF 10 - Gris Bleu Ciel - Sky Blue
ACF 11 – Chamois – Interior Protective Coating
ACF 12 – Bleu Fonce’ – Dark Blue (Cockpit Interiors)

All the above will be matched to paint chips in "Armee de L'Air Aeronavale, Nuancier des Coluleurs de L'Aviation Francaise 1900-1945", rare and out-of-print and generously loaned by Jacques Druel of L'Arsenal. HOWEVER, after the disappointing response to our proposed Regia Aeronautica range, Caroline wants a good number of pre-orders before committing to production. So if you're interested in these colours, or know an aircraft modeller who might be, step up and pre-order (no charge until we ship) or pass the word along.

Cheers,
