MPM / Special Hobby New Releases / Future Releases March 2008
We’d like to apologize for the delay in the release of the SN72002 U-Boot IIA 1/72 kit. We’re still trying to tune the hull mold of this kit and fortunately we have now found the right way. When
the kit is ready for packing we will inform you right away. 
MPM #72535 1/72
Wellington Mk.II „Merlins´powered Wimpy“
Vickers Wellingtons were produced in many versions
powered by different engines. The only in-line engine
that powered the Wellingtons was the famous Rolls-Royce
Merlin. Apart from the high altitude versions, Merlin
engines were used for the Wellington Mk.II.
The kit contains 5 sprues of grey plastic, two sprues with
clear parts and resin parts for radiators. Decals offer two
machines from the Polish 305th Squadron. Both machines
sport nose art drawings. The first one has drawing of Popeye
the Sailor beating Hitler; the second one has drawing of
Donald Duck. Further, the decals contain two machines from
British RAF squadrons. One of them sports a tiger’s head drawing.

 Special Hobby #SH48074 1/48
CAC-12 Boomerang „Early Version“
Japan posed an immediate threat to Australia during World War 2.
The disruption of sea and air transport routes led Australia to
develop domestic aircraft and to purchase licenses for the
production of suitable foreign aircraft. The only domestically-
produced fighter aircraft that participated in WW 2 air battles
was the famous Boomerang. It was based on the license produced
AT-6 Texan and it proved competitive in the Pacific area’s combat
conditions.
The kit contains grey plastic parts in several sprues, an injected
canopy, resin and photo-etched parts. Decals offer four aircraft
in various camouflage schemes.
 Special Army #SA72004 1/72
SdKfz 11/4 Nebelkraftwagen
This is a kit of the ammunition-carrier version of the German
half-track vehicle, intended to supply the Nebelwerfer rocket
launchers. It was used by the Wermacht through the World War 2.
The kit contains two sprues with grey plastic parts, photo-etched
parts and decals for 4 vehicles. One in later European Yellow
scheme with brown blotches, the rest of the vehicles sport Panzer
grey color schemes.
 Special Hobby #SH32013 1/32
Model 339C/D Buffalo
Soon after the delivery of Buffalo Mk.Is, the British RAF
realized that these aircraft were not suitable for the European
combat area. Therefore, the aircraft were moved to the Far East,
with the idea that they’d be a good match for the Japanese aircraft
in that area. Thanks to this misconception, the British Buffaloes
played a part in the fall of Malaya and Burma. They were no match
for the Japanese aircraft supporting the overwhelming attack against
Singapore.
Our company has other versions of the Buffalo in production. Now, we
are offering you the RAF Buffalo in 1/32 scale.
The kit contains nine sprues with grey plastic parts, injected canopy,
resin and photo-etched parts. Decals included offer interesting markings
for four aircraft that participated in the fight for Singapore and Malaya.
Particular machines sport nose art drawings of a dragon, a dog, a boxing
kangaroo and the last aircraft wears swastika victory markings, showing
the pilots score in the Battle of Britain.
