With this message I announce you two our new releases:
# 414 Liberty D.H.4 1918 (Dayton-Wright-built) in 1:48 scale
# 443 UV-20A Chiricahua US Army Pilatus PC-6B-2/H-2 in 1:48 scale

The Liberty DH 4 was a licensed version of the famous British two-seat general purpose de Havilland DH.4, which was built in the U.S. after its entry into WWI. An American engine, the Liberty, was fitted in the aircraft, and was much more efficient and reliable than most British power installations. The Liberty DH 4 was widely used over the Western Front as a scout and bomber, but numerous problems with the fuel system earned the planes notoriety as "flaming coffins". Nevertheless, the Liberty DH 4 continued in service until the very end of the war, and afterwards these machines were returned to the U.S., where they were used by the Army for several post-war years. Improvements of the fuel system and elimination of other defects allowed the type to carry on until the mid 1930's in commercial use. More than 5,000 Liberty DH 4 types were built in all.

The Pilatus PC-6/B2-H2 Turbo Porter is the further development of the well-known light multipurpose turboprop PC-6B, developed at the beginning of the Sixties by the Swiss company Pilatus. This version is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-27 engine of 680 hp. Apart from in Switzerland, the aircraft was built under license in the USA by Fairchild Industries. Machines belonging to the U.S. Army were designated UV-20A Chiricahua. Planes of this type were exported to many countries in different continents of the world, including Australia and Latin America - Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. The Pilatus PC-6/B2-H2 Turbo Porter has been used both for military purposes in the Air Forces of those countries, and in purely civilian activities such as light transport and skydiving.

They`ll be released at the beginning of November.
