September news!

In September we offer a dose of three novelties from Arma Hobby in 1/72 scale: one aircraft and two plastic model bases.

70060 USN/RN Escort Carrier Deck

Escort aircraft carriers, although smaller and less heavily armed than the ‘real’ fleet aircraft carriers, played no less a decisive role in the Second World War at sea. 

The universal 1/72nd scale plastic base for aeroplane model accurately reproduces a section of the deck of an escort aircraft carrier of any of the basic classes of US WWII production, used by US and Royal Navies in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Arctic convoys. Each kit includes link to a free download of files for self-printing on a 3D printer accessory parts.

70059 PSP Airfield WW2

The famous PSP stands for Pierced Steel Planking, also known as Marston Mat, used to reinforce the surface of airfields with perforated steel mats. 

A universal 1/72 scale plastic base for aircraft model accurately reproducing the airfield surface covered with PSP (‘Marston Mat’) mats is suitable for all types of smaller American aircraft in all theatres of operations of World War II and some later conflicts, as well as most aircraft of many other Allied air forces. To each base we add a link to free files for self-printing on a 3D printer with universal airfield equipment.

70065 F4F-4 Wildcat® "Operation Torch"

The Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat was one of the main carrier-based fighters used by the US Navy and Royal Navy of WWII. During Operation Torch in November 1942, Wildcats from US and British carriers supported the landing of Allies in North Africa. These aircraft wore US stars with yellow outlines on the fuselage and wings, British planes as well. The idea was quick recognition, but also to neutralise the resentment of the French towards the British.
