EDIT: The colours here are wrong. Red, golden yellow, red and white stripes are all completely wrong. Save yourself the heartache. See evidence and pix on page 2. Haven't been able to get back to models for months as I've been caught up in life issues. Today the wife encouraged me to get back at it and to not worry about finishing something else first. So, I decided to do something "simple" and not get hung up on details. I picked this kit up in Ottawa back in April/May because of the orange Japanese plane. Apparently this orange is way too red. A quick Google research while at a gaming shop in Ottawa back then suggested it should be more golden than red. I chose Game Air 76.007. Is it right? I dunno. I like it. https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/game-air-en/gold-yellow-72707/ So I opened the kit today and was pleasantly surprised to learn there were two planes inside. The decals are simple so I may just paint the markings instead. I have some round vinyls that are the same diameter as the hinomaru. Only 8 steps but this is AZModel... so lots of fettling and no guides or pins anywhere. And lots of sprue connections that leave ugly blobs to clean off. Here I realized I was supposed to make the control stick myself. Time for sprue. Here I've got the seat and stick glued and I'm using my big flat sanding pad to prep the fuselage halves to fit together better.You can see the exhausts are just closed blobs. Yuck! Out of the box build? Maybe not entirely. Starter holes... Wing is all one piece. I filed the centre part a lot to improve the fit with the fuselage halves. Fuzzy but you can see the exhausts drilled out on each half. I used three bits... .4, .6, .7 Glued cockpit stuff in, and ready to airbrush for first time in months Here you can see the air intake on the top half. It comprises front and rear cowl pieces glued to the bump in the middle. Messy job for me. I tried sanding to fit the cowling pieces better against the fuselage but they were not cooperative and I somehow got worse gaps- probably because of the shape of the cowls and thickness of plastic. In the lower half you can see the cockpit with IP as well. I did an oil wash with white. I read some stuff saying aotake was not common and blue grey was a decent bet. Here, I've glued the fuselage halves. A bit messy. I was using slower tamiya extra thin. On the top, that's paint not a big crack. You can see the drilled exhausts and the side air intakes. Intakes will need some putty work. The wings are dry fitted. They took a lot of work to settle down and get the gap and step minimized. Same experience as my hurricane but I minimized damage this time 😛 You can see the horiz stabilizers will be butt joints. Whee, IP done in dark grey with white oil wash. You can see rear cowl on right has a big gap. How did that happen? Really not sure. I think the shape and thickness of the cowl was off and my sanding and filing didn't help. Sprue time for that. Dry fitted wings still.... Cute little fella. Tomorrow maybe I'll work on all the seams and putty. 😛 . There are bad gaps on the bottom where the wings meet the fuselage. This is AZModel, not me! Similar to my hurricane experience but I avoided making things worse this time. Sprue should fix it. Some kind of intake on port wing edge Here you can see how tiny the plane is in comparison to paint intended for it.

I also want to thank all our workers, subcontractors, our dealers and distributors for a job well done in 2023. I believe that 2024 will be a challenge for all of us to do even better and we will certainly have many nice new models to come. So, what’s coming and what’s coming? So, short and to the point: We will start with the first quarter of 2024, when we will continue our long-running line of 1/72nd scale Mustangs. After the successful P-51B/C and Mk.III series, the moulds for the two-seat TP-51B versions are in the pipeline. The same is also true with the P-51D-5 versions, and we will continue with the P-51D-10/15/20, P-51K and others in this extensive „Mustang“ family. Fans of modernity of our air force will be pleased with the brand new LET L-410UVP in 1/72 scale. Yes, we once released in AZmodel the vintage Turbolet by Gavia , but times are different and so now the molds for the new , shape and size correct Turbolet are in preparation. Later on there will also be a version of L-410A/M. Here I want to thank Firma49 for their help with 3D modelling. Fans of the First War will be pleased this year with the new Halberstad CL.II and Cl.IV models, Nieuport Ni- 11 Bebe / Ni-16 and the Avro 504K family. We will also offer you other Bf 109 and DH.9. For the „civil airline collector“ we have, after a long delay, finished moulds for the SAAB-340 and SAAB 2000 models in 1/200 scale. In 1/144 we are resuming production of the Yakovlev Yak-40 and from the new moulds the Tupolev Tu-134A/B. We have also prepared many modified reissues of older models from our or cooperating production. Unwanted PUR parts and etched parts are „removed“ from the models according to the latest trends. Everything is replaced with new plastic parts or even new transparent parts. In this format are in preparation for example models of Breda 65-A-80, MiG-17F, Fiat G-50, Fokker C-X , Messerschmitt Bf 108, H.P. Hampden Mk.I, Airspeed Oxford and others. In 1/48 scale there is MS.406, Ki-48 Lily and Gotha G.V. Also our company has purchased several molds from „second“ hand in 2023. Sales or preparations for distribution of Sukhoi Su-22M4, Sukhoi Su-22UM, Robinson R-44, Zlin C-106/Z-381 models are underway. From the cooperation with the company Směr Praha is surprisingly successful sale of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc model in the KP-Club line edition. These models are intended for beginners, unpretentious modellers, and in comparison to the Směr models they contain „plastic in grey“, new camouflage schemes and new decals (can be used also for older Směr models). We are now preparing for sale Yakovlev Yak-3, Messerschmitt Me-262A, Bloch MB-152, LeO 451 etc. Finally, for the pleasure of your eye, we present a few boxart of our upcoming new kits by our court painter – Carlos Alonso from Spain, who is inherently and rightfully part of the KP/AZ team. I have to say many compliments from our customers on his awesome work! I hope that everyone will choose their model from our new products and once again I wish you a pleasant and beautiful modeling in 2024. Petr Muzikant and the entire KP/AZmodel team" V.P.
