Your 152. Squadron has been located close to the frontline, so you will be intercepting only single recon planes – said on 31st August 1939 evening colonel Tadeusz Prauss to major Edward Więckowski, who has just came with his III/5 Fighter Wing from base in Wilno to the field aerodrome in Szpondowo near the Prussian border. – So you have pretty easy task. You will probably be fighting against Henschels Hs 126. According to the intelligence data, these appear to be not so fast, pretty poorly armed. None of these experienced pilots did expect, that the war will negatively...

John Miller from Model Paint Solutions could not resist to build Hurricane Mk I kit from Experts Set. Model was a surprise gift from a friend that made John to change plans and start to build. See what happened then: I was so taken with the new Hurricane Mk.I from Arma Hobby,  that plastic dust was flying and my compressor humming not long after I opened the box. This build was a joy but it’s not without issues: more later. Bottom line: the Arma Hobby Hurricane builds up into a very nice model: possibly the best Hurricane in it’s...

Third Arma Hobby kit finished by Magnus Friedsell is Fokker E.V in marking of Ltn. Stefan Stec from his first victory I defence of Lvov. It was build from Expert set with use of extensive Lozenge decals from the box  (Cartograf) as well as photoetched parts. See photos of spectacular model!! This is a very neat little kit, just like the two earlier Arma Hobby kits I’ve built. Take care when assembling it and it should be a reasonably simple build, especially considering it’s generally rather spindly appearance. Also, the marking options are all both interesting and very attractive...
