MiniArt has released their new Fw 190D-9 (early production) advanced kit in 1/48 scale.

As previously reported, the early-production Fw 190D-9 was the “long-nose” development of the Fw 190A, reworked around the liquid-cooled Jumo 213 engine to improve high-altitude performance and interceptor capability. It entered Luftwaffe service in 1944 and was valued for its stronger climb and speed compared with earlier Fw 190 variants.

The kit (48044) captures the distinctive long nose profile of the “Dora” and includes additional details for an enhanced building experience, including PE parts, detailed cockpit and exterior surfaces and decals with three marking options. The company also released a basic version of the kit in May.

New from Aeronaut Books and author Jon Guttman is 2nd Pursuit Group, USAS

Entering combat on the Western Front in the summer of 1918 to expand the United States Army Air Service, the 2nd Pursuit Group was composed of the 13th, 22nd, 49th, and 139th Aero Squadrons. Although the 103rd Aero Squadron was temporarily assigned, it was eventually traded for the 49th Aero so it could serve as the nucleus for the 3rd Pursuit Group. Although not as famous of the 1st “Hat-in-the.Ring” Group or the “Indian Head” 3rd Group, the 2nd made its own significant contribution to Allied victory in the air. Its full story is told here for the first time with 288 photos and color profiles of 41 aircraft.

The book is available in paperback format and spans 184 pages.

New this month from Eduard is a “Weekend Edition” model kit of the MiG-21F-13 Fishbed in 1/48 scale.

The type was the first major production version of the Soviet MiG-21, a single-engine, supersonic day interceptor with a distinctive tailed-delta wing design that gave it strong speed and climb performance. Entering service in 1960, it was relatively compact, used the Tumansky R-11F-300 engine, and was armed with one 30 mm cannon plus early infrared air-to-air missiles, making it a simple but highly influential Cold War fighter.

The new offering (84213) includes Eduard plastic parts and decals with marking options for five aircraft.

ICM has released their new “Last Marauder” model kit representing B-26G-25-MA 44-68254 “Tail End Charlie,” which was The final B-26G bomber of the legendary Marauder series to roll off the production line.

The aircraft made its maiden flight on 18 April 1945 and became a symbolic link between the beginning and the end of the Marauder production story. It was flown by test pilot Pat Tibbs, while the co-pilot’s seat was occupied by Ken Abel — the company’s chief designer, who had also taken part in the first flight of the original production B-26 five years earlier. As a result, Abel became one of the very few pilots to have flown both the first and the final aircraft of a series that ultimately totalled 5,266 machines.

The last Marauder never saw combat service. On 10 May 1945, just two days after Germany’s surrender, the aircraft was officially transferred to the French Air Force (Armée de l’Air). Since active hostilities in Europe had already ended, the aircraft was assigned to the CEAM Test Centre at Mont-de-Marsan Air Base.

Serving with the French Air Force, ‘Tail End Charlie’ was used for nearly four years for technical evaluation flights and transport duties. According to archival records, the service life of the final B-26 Marauder came to an end in April 1949, when the aircraft was officially written off.

The kit (48329) faithfully reproduces the geometry and proportions of the original aircraft and includes a detailed cockpit and fuselage interior equipment as well as decals reproducing “Tail End Charlie’s” markings.
