P-51 B Mustang 1/72 Arma Hobby - Model Rewiev

Image
 You can never have too many Mustangs! It seems this maxim guides the owners of Arma Hobby, because yet another Mustang from the Warsaw-based manufacturer landed on my desk. This time, however, we get a miniature in a heavily assault-oriented version – a new sprue, added to the already known Mustang parts, allows you to equip the model with triple rocket launchers, commonly called bazookas by soldiers. This promises to be explosive! If you want to see this set up close, be sure to visit my YouTube channel where you’ll find a full video review of this model.

 It’s only mid-April, and Arma Hobby has already released their second new kit of the year. This time, it’s the export version of the Curtiss P-36 Hawk, known as the Curtiss H-75. It’s exciting to see another 1/72 scale miniature, especially with the prospect of a U.S. version coming in future boxings. Let’s open the box and see if this kit lives up to the anticipation.

 It must be admitted that in the past year, Arma Hobby didn’t exactly spoil fans of the 1:72 scale. Sure, a few new boxes with the brand's logo appeared on the market, but they were merely re-releases of well-known models, such as the P-51B or the iconic Hurricane . A bit monotonous, wouldn’t you agree? Fortunately, at the end of the year, in December 2024, the Warsaw-based manufacturer surprised modelers with a true novelty: the Nakajima Ki-43 II Hayabusa—a Japanese fighter straight from the Land of the Rising Sun.

The latest Arma Hobby project has been released again, which is not surprising, especially since the team with turtle in a logo announced during the premiere of this project that all combat versions of this aircraft can be built from their kit. This time we got a box with three (or even four) paint schemes for the P-39N.

Ki-84 Hayate Special Attack Units 1:72 Arma Hobby - Model review

We had to wait a while for another box of Ki-84 Hayate from Arma Hobby. At least compared to the Mustangs, of which several sets have already been released. Because the Expert Set sold out some time ago, I expected Hayate to be released in a new convention without photoedged parts but with canopy masks. And here it is:

It seems that the idea of ​​adding a 3D printed conversion to the set appealed to modellers because after Sea Hurricane Arma Hobby released another model in the same convention. This time it's Hurricane Mk.II D, a tin opener.

Cactus Air Force Deluxe Set 1/72 Arma Hobby 1:72 - Model review

Recently, Arma Hobby has been releasing new sets at a quite impressive pace. I just reviewed the content of the Sea Hurricane set, and here a new box fell into my hands. In addition, this is a Deluxe Edition, so there are frames inside that allow you to build two planes. The main theme connecting these two constructions is "Cactus Air Force", i.e. the actions of the combined air forces of the Marines, US Army and US Navy in the Guadalcanal area in 1942 - 1943.
