ARMA HOBBY
2021 RELEASES
Arma Hobby has announced a number of exciting releases for
the 2021 calendar year. Here is their announcement:
1:48 SCALE HURRICANE MK IIC
The biggest project for 2021, the model you have been waiting
for, is the Hurricane Mk IIc in 1:48 scale. Kit includes three
plastic frames (plus clear parts). It will most likely be released
as the last one in the series. We anticipate its follow-up with
Hurricane Mk I and other variants of the Mk II.
P-51 B/C MUSTANG 1:72
We have great pleasure in announcing a kit that you have been
requesting for a long time. Our 1:72 P-51 B/C Mustang release
is planned for the second quarter of 2021.
In the box, you will find parts to build both USAAF P-51B/C,
RAF Mustang Mk III and the reconnaissance F-6C.
The kit features both regular and Malcolm Hood canopies
moulded in open and closed positions. Options include dorsal
fin and different styles of inspection panels for an air filter.
Under-wing stores included in the set are bombs plus 110 and
75 gallon fuel tanks.
Our first Expert Set edition will include photo-etched parts,
canopy/wheel masks and decals for six markings options (4 x
USAAF and 2 x RAF).
Please check out the 3D renderings here. Your comments and
questions are very appreciated. Design and kit content may
change during production.
Kit is produced under license from Boeing. Boeing, P-51
Mustang and the distinctive Boeing logos, product markings and
trade dress are trademarks of The Boeing Company.
1:72 SCALE GRUMMAN F4F-4 WILDCAT
As has already been announced, the Wildcat project continues.
Another plastic frame is ready for tooling in the workshop. It
is the F4F-4 with the Martlet Mk II sub-variant (differing in the
engine cover). In future we plan to add a plastic frame with F4F-
3 / Martlet Mk III wings.
Grumman Wildcat is a trademark of Northrop Grumman
Systems Corporation and is used under license by Arma Hobby.
The accumulation of finished project designs and the workshop’s
problems with Covid is a challenge for us. The introduction of
a vaccine may solve the problem of recurring quarantine of the
tool workshop personnel. Having three ready for tooling projects,
we may not be able to finance their production simultaneously.
The last year plan assumed the release of models in sequence,
allowing the financing of subsequent models from their sale. The
P.11c 1:48 model was planned to be released in October, and
the P-51 B/C in November 2020. It would give us the resources
needed to implement the Hurricane Mk IIc in 1:48 in the first
quarter of 2021.
We would instead start with the low-priced Wildcat (only one
small mould), then we’ll go with the P-51, and for the Summer
we’ll try for the 1:48 scale Hurricane.
In the meantime, different design of the next models will
continue. In the second half of 2020, we hired two designers
who are expected to prepare two models a year. One of the
projects is already well advanced.
Your purchases of Arma Hobby models can help speed up the
news, as long as Covid is dwindling.

RELEASES
Aerocraft Models has announced three new releases.
The first is an openable canopy for the Special Hobby
1:72 SF-260.
The next two are for the de Havilland Hornet by AZmodel.
There is also an openable canopy and then a set of
improved cowlings and spinners for the kit, the kit ones
are a little undersized.
This set is all drawn on 3D CAD and customers will
receive all the parts as 3D printed parts.
A small amount of sanding and priming will be needed,
but as you can see the parts do have recessed detail,
and the exhausts are hollowed out.
