April 2006 Kiwi Resins Update!!

[Dave Homewood]

Two new products have just been added to the range!

1/72nd scale DH83 Fox Moth

and

1/72nd scale Colditz Glider

________________________

Also, the 1/48th scale Cirrus Hawk has been withdrawn from the range as it is no longer available

I know there are some exciting other models coming soon too, including the Vickers Vincents - Dave told me at Wanaka that he almost has the 1/72nd scale kit ready to go. Watch this space. I'm sure this and the 1/48th one will be popular with Kiwi modellers as it was such an important aircraft in our RNZAF both prewar and wartime in training and defence

A REQUEST

I have a request please. If you have bought Kiwi Resin models and have built the kits, can you please send me photos of the results and your thoughts or reviews which if suitable I will add them to the webpage to let other modellers know what you think. Cheers

I have just received my Fox Moth - Dave has really outdone himself here - the detail on the castings is awesome! Unfortunately I have such a huge backlog of kits in the "to do" pile I'm not sure when I will get around to this one, but will let you know when I have completed any of the Kiwi resin kits I have waiting. I really look forward to the Vincent / vildebeeste when it comes.

[Dave Homewood]

I have added yet another new product for Dave to the webpage, a Bf109G-12.

As mentioned on another thread, for those of you who've bought Kiwi Resins products I'd love to receive comments and if possible photos of completed examples plus reviews to add to the webpage. Cheers.

Is that the G-12 that was at Wanaka in 1996? Or was that a G-6? I get a bit lost when wading through the plethora of WW2 German subtypes......

[Dave Homewood]

Both Bf109's that have visited Wanaka were actually Buchons, but the later one was made to look like some sort of G model. I also get lost with Luftwaffe sub-types, not my thing I'm afraid. Someone here will know what model that Buchon was posing as though.

According to my preview photo from Dave - The G12 is a two seat conversion.
