Modeler's Workshop

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.

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.

Not so long ago Arma Hobby announced that it was going to release another Hurricane. It didn't take long for the model to go on sale and on my desk. Thus, the fourth version of this well-known British fighter has already appeared in the manufacturer's offer. The formula in which this kit was released is interesting. In the box we will find sprues known from the Hurricane Mk.I kit and a 3D printed conversion to the carrier-based version of this aircraft. An innovative idea, a bit more demanding than in the case of previous sets. However, thanks to the combination of injection technology and 3D printing, we have the opportunity to build a model of a less popular aircraft, for which we could otherwise wait months or even years. Reading the comments in Arma Hobby's social media, you can see that some modelers are already making big plans for what they would see next released in this formula. 

Together with the premiere of Airacobra , Arma Hobby released another box with a Mustang, this time with schemes for version B. The model was very well designed, so it's no wonder that the Warsaw company treats us with new boxes containing this legendary WWII fighter. I decided to check if the content of this set is at the same level as almost a year ago when the frames inside had their premiere.

Nothing lights up keyboards more than the announcement of the next Arma Hobby model. This premiere was also accompanied by great publicity. Especially since AH's PR person knows Facebook, so for several weeks the atmosphere around the new model has been successfully heated on the fanpage and the manufacturer's blog . Therefore, on modeling forums, often stormy discussions began on the subject of numerous betrayals and negligence of the designer. I decided to check it myself, especially since AH sent me a sample for this purpose.
