Dear customers,
With the beginning of the real autumn with its November rains we bring you MPM Production November news. We hope that it'll pleasure you more than the weather outside your windows.


November news:

SH48094 Gloster E.28/39 Pioneer „Late Version“ 1/48 highly limited series
Gloster E.28/39 Pioneer was the Britain's first jet aircraft. It had started the jet era in Britain. The test results were also used by USA. Two machines were built. Unlike the second prototype that crashed early, the first one was more developed during the trials and tests. Our kit represents the last appearance of the prototype with the stabilization facets on the horizontal stabilizer.
The kit contains two sprues with injected plastic parts, injected canopy, resin and photo-etched parts. The decals offer you to build two appearances of the prototype. The first camouflage represents Gloster E.28/39 with Brown and Green colors on upper surfaces, the second camouflage allows you to build Gloster in Green and Grey upper surface colors.


SH48068 Fiat BR.20 Cicogna 1/48
Most of the World War 2 Italian bombers were of the tri-engine conception. One of the few exceptions was the twin-engined Fiat BR.20 Cicogna. Huge twin-engined machine that feature twin tail had participated even during the Spanish Civil War. When the WW 2 broke out Fiats were deployed over France and Mediterranean Theatre. The Italian attempt to deploy them against Great Britain failed due to the heavy British defense but Fiats were successful over Yugoslavia and Greece. Subsequently the machines were withdrawn from first line service. Also, export Fiats were successful. Japan purchased Fiat BR.20s and deployed them in Sino-Japanese Conflict.
The kit of this huge bomber contains seven sprues with plastic parts, one sprue with clear injected parts, highly detailed resin and photo-etched parts. Decals included contain markings for four machines in Italian bomber aircraft camouflage of that era. One machine sports overall aluminum dope, the other segment camouflage the other two wears sprayed blotches and also sports unit markings.


72099 Wellington Mk.IC 1/72 - 2009 re-issue
I dare say there's no need to introduce the famous Wellington. The most famous British bomber of the first half of the war gained its glory by the night raids over the occupied Europe and Germany.
We already issued the kit of the catalogue number 72099. It was sold out for a long time but we had still received orders for it. Therefore we decided to re-issue this kit.
The kit contains six sprues (the original kit contained only five sprues we modified the wing mould) with injected plastic parts, one sprue with clear injected parts a one resin part the hedgehog exhaust tube for the starboard engine. Decals included contain markings for 75. (New Zealand) Squadron on which Sgt J. Ward earned its Victory Cross, RAF 37. Squadron machine based in Egypt wearing dessert camouflage scheme and donkey nose-art and lastly three machines from RAF 311. (Czechoslovak) Squadron.


SH48033 Aermacchi C.200 I. serie “Bubble Canopy” 1/48 re-issue
This is the initial version of the WW II Italian fighter that fought over Greece, Malta and other battlegrounds. Its distinctive feature was its enclosed bubble canopy the difference from the later versions.
This kit reappeared in our offer after two and half years period in February 2009. During four months this reedition was completely sold out therefore a new batch was produced and we offer it now again. It contains two sprues with grey plastic parts, vacu-formed canopies and detailed resin parts. Decals included offer three machines in interesting “cloud” camouflage, including personal machine of the Italian ace M.G. Braschiotta.


A089 Arsenal VG-36 1/48 highly limited series
Arsenal VG-30 series machines were high hopes for the French Air Force at the eve of the World War 2. Eventually, only few machines were built at all but only one prototype of VG-36. Unlike the other versions, it featured half embedded, wider and shallower oil cooler and longer canopy. The speed of 590 kmh with armament consisting of four wing mounted machine guns and cannon that fired through the hollow propeller's shaft was outstanding speaking of year 1940. Unfortunately the mass production didn't start till the France was occupied.
The kit contains two sprues with injected plastic parts, vacu-formed canopy, resin parts and decals for the first prototype.


A086 Cams 37E 1/72
CAMS 37 was produced for the French Navy in several versions and it was one of the most widely used single engine seaplanes. 110 machines of the training CAMS 37E were produced. Vichy Navy still used it in 1942. This is very honorable for the machine, which prototype first took-off in 1926.
The kit contains two sprues with injected plastic parts, vacu-formed canopy wind shields and resin parts. Decals included contain markings for one machine that served from Bizerta in French Tunisia in 1937, Escadrille 2S2 machine from May 1940 and Vichy machine that served in 1942.


SH72196 Fairey Fulmar N1854 „Fulmar Prototype Story“
Fairey Fulmar serial N1854 was produced as a first serial piece of Mk.I. version. It stayed in the Fairey factory and was used for testing. During this testing it became a prototype version of Mk.II and finally served as a company service aircraft. In present time it is a part
of exhibition in Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, England.
The kit contains three frames of plastic parts, injected clear parts, detailed resin parts and photo -etched parts. Decals offer five appearances of the Fulmar N1854 both military and civilian marking.
