This month’s round-up of all that’s new in the world of aircraft modelling...

SIde CUTTeR
If you use a simple side cutter to remove parts, you need to spend extra time
cleaning the leftover material. And yes, we know that a good single-edged side
cutter is not cheap.
MENG has just delivered another choice.
This MTS-022 Intermediate Single-edged Hobby Side Cutter is specially made by
DSPIAE for MENG. The single-edge design has offered better cutting capacity. It
can effectively improve your modelling efficiency. It’s forged by special tool steel.
The blade which receives multiple treatment is sharp and hard. This product is for
intermediate modellers.
The forged side cutter has a neat blunt face which provides good support to the cut.
The precision and sharp cutting edge can cut smoothly.

PHaRaOH’S
GHOSTS
Hi-Decal has announced a decal sheet that will be available in 1/72 and 1/48 scales:
HD 48033 & HD 72063 - McDonnell F-4E Phantom II “Pharaoh’s Ghosts” (4 Options)
222nd Tactical Fighter Brigade, Egyptian Air Force:
l
66-0366 / 7813 in disruptive “Compass Ghost Grey” camouflage, 1980,
l
67-0289 / 7827 in “South East Asia” camouflage with orange & black quick ID panels, 1983,
l
67-0341 / 7818 in “Hill One” scheme, seen in 1988,
l
67-0239 / 7817 in “Hill Two” scheme with orange & black quick ID panels, 1990. Before being sold to
Egypt, this Phantom was credited with the downing of a Vietnamese MiG-21 in August 1972, when serving
with the USAF 58th TFS.
Strangely, the Egyptian Air Force F-4Es were the only Phantoms that have never been, until now, available
in decal form.
Therefore, this is the first decal sheet ever covering in detail these long serving Spooks, and offer the
modeller the possibility to make all the schemes that these birds wore during their service with the EAF.
The new decal sheets will be available by the time you read this.
