I am hoping you are having a little down time to enjoy the hobby we all can’t seem to get enough of. Even better if you are able to share it with friends….or that next generation who hasn’t had the fun of gluing their fingers together, losing a part in the carpet, or spilling paint on your wife’s favorite piece of furniture! We certainly have been busy here at Squadron. This month, we have several new releases from Squadron Products. First in line is a brand-new Squadron Signal book, the P-38 Lightning in Action (Part # SS10222). Authored by well-known author David Doyle, this book tells the story and history of the iconic twin boom fighter that debuted during WWII. Designed by Lockheed as a twin-engine interceptor, the Lightning was advanced for its time and generation. Powered by two supercharged Allison engines, the P-38 played an important and decisive role in the skies over the Pacific and Europe during World War 2. This volume is filled with many drawings and never before seen pictures you won’t want to miss. We are particularly excited about sharing 3 more releases in our new premium line of True Details. With the original molds being designed using 3-D technology, I know you will find the accuracy unparalleled. We are releasing the F-35A Lightning II wheel set in three sizes (Part #s TDP72203, TDP48203 and TDP32203). They are extremely detailed and carefully rendered in grey resin. These wheels will adapt to any F-35A kit. In our Heroes & Warriors line, we introduce Panzer Crewman WW2 with Provisions (Part # WAH35527) on Page 24. This resin 54mm figure depicts a German Panzer Crewman in between battles, carrying his necessities. Figurine comes with small resin base. Whether you use these figures in a diorama setting or simply create them as individual pieces of miniature art, I think you will agree that the proportions and scaling of this figure line are outstanding. Don’t miss out on our new Squadron Tool this month: the Portable Mini Pin Vise with Drill Bits (Part # SQ10805). This little gem allows you to easily carry mini drill bits to a model event or even keep on your desk, while safely protecting their delicate nature. Comes with internal magnet for easy access and to hold the bits in place (yes, the magnet is one of my favorite things about this essential modeler’s tool!). With new arrivals coming every week, our website is updated daily. Make sure to come back often to www.Squadron.com and check out these new releases along with special deals and hot topics to enjoy. Now get out there and get modeling! Cheers!
