Profiline and MPM have an announcement about Profiline's line of plastic kits

Profiline are to release two brand new models of the MD 520N NOTAR [no tail rotor] and Hughes MD-500D with floats in 1:72 scale. There are a large number of markings for each one. Profiline have produced the body of the MD in clear plastic, which this modeler certainly appreciates. Looking at the colour schemes I think ordering more than one looks possible. On sale from February 10, 2011.

Profiline are to release a U.S. Navy Jet Blast Deflector [JBD] with steam catapult. A great idea if you are fed up with having your US Navy aircraft just sitting on the shelf. Profiline will be producing the deck in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale. Release date will be sometime in March, 2011.
