Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my 1/72 Sabrekits Henschel Hs-126, built from the box. Painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics, photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. My buying impulse for this kit was the marking option for an aircraft photographed in Austria (my homecountry), at the end of the war. According to the paint instructions, this aircraft had black undersides and belonged to FFS(B)11, a blind-flying school; according to my research, FFS(B)11 never existed. I came across an online photograph which does not support the 'black undersides': https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:German_utility_aircraft_in_Austria_1945.jpg The simplified type of markings rather suggest this airplane served with one of the Nachtschlachtgruppen (night harrassment units) or a close-range recce squadron. All the confusion aside, the Sabrekits model is difficult to assemble and has a few surface irregularities, making for a troublesome build. There are no positive location tabs, just shallow depressions, where the struts are supposed to go. The landing gear legs are butt-joined to the fuselage, the instrument panel is just a flat piece of plastic, and while some of the struts were too long, others were too short. I was reminded of short-run-kits from 20 years ago. I have not seen the new 1/72 Brengun kit of this type, but I heard rumours that fellow Britmodeller @Redboost is working on it. It would be interesting to hear his opinion to compare both offerings. Thank you for your interest in this topic. Best greetings from Vienna! Roman

Passed under my radar (!), in 2021, Sabrekits has reissued the AZmodel (from 1998: link) 1/72nd Breda 27 Metallico kit with a new decals sheet - ref. SBK72016. To be noted, as part of Sabrekits "Series 100", only 100 kits have been manufactured. Source: https://ipmsbelgium.wordpress.com/2021/09/15/unwanted-duckling/ V.P.

Sabrekits is to release a 1/48th - in fact 1/50th ! - Piper J-3 Cub kit based on the vintage (1979) but modified original 1/50th Heller L-4 kit. Not sure that good broth may be made in an old pot.
