The latest newsletter from MPM Production reveals arguably the company's most ambitious line-up to date, with some completely unexpected new models that look set to be instant best sellers:
"I mentioned the kits in progress in the beginning of the last newsletter. You will have a chance to read about many of them in this newsletter. This really makes me happy. Let's stay with the kits in progress for a while. We will reveal the markings for 1/32 scale Fiat G.50 and 1/48 scale Firefly family. Moreover, we decided to declassify two of the projects already in process.

Together with Tarangus Co. we prepare new J/A-37 Viggen kit in 1/48 scale. In our boxes MPM Production will offer A-37 and SK-37 versions. The whole kit is being designed in 3D and will be injected from metal moulds respectively. The quality will be comparable with our new A4/V2 rockets and SS-100 that were produced under Special Armour brand (catalogue numbers are SA72003 and SA72014 for rockets and SA72001 for SS-100). When mentioning A4/V2 rockets I'd like to announce that the first series is already sold out but when we receive new decal batch we will be able to re-stock and offer them again. Therefore you can order them in advance. Perhaps in July we will be able to offer the already announced rocket transporter Meilerwaggen, also produced within Special Armour brand.

The other project that was classified were early versions of AH-1 Cobra AH-1G early, AH-1G late and AH-1Q/S. These kits will also be produced from metal moulds of the highest quality. The kits will be highly detailed for 1/72 scale and will offer variety of the carried weapons. The moulds for these kits are already in process of preparation and the release date should be due in summer months. That's all for the kits in progress."
