Want something that will set your model apart from the rest? That little something that is unique and adds visual interest? Well, Profimodeller has just the thing for your 1/32^nd He-111 or Ju-88, an oxygen system complete with flak helmets and oxygen masks with straps.

You get four resin pour blocks with a German helmet, mask with hose, and some oxygen bottles. All of mine were perfectly formed and cast out of light yellow resin. A fret of photo etch provides a good amount of detail such as the suspension assemblies inside the helmets. That is the level of detail we are talking about here! Also included in the set is a length of tubing to represent the oxygen lines.

Well, it’s another of those books about a little known battle of World War II, but as I read this book, I became convinced that it was important for several reasons.

Demyansk is a small town in Russia which sits about halfway between Moscow and Leningrad. This position makes the battle important. The Wehrmacht had punched through the Soviet armies in the western Soviet Union, and made fast advances toward both Leningrad and Moscow. Because the terrain west of Demyansk is mostly swamps and marshes, the advance in the areas between Moscow and Leningrad were slower. Also, there weren’t as many troops provided for this less important push. The OKW was certain they’d have both of the major cities shortly, so why bother with the farmland and villages between?

Designed to replicate the paint scheme on Sukhoi Su-30 demonstration aircraft, these F-15 markings are for the only aircraft of the 65th Aggressor Squadron to be painted in this manner. My copy of the decals has all three scales represented, 72nd, 48th and 32^nd. The one thing about Twobobs products is the level of research that goes into a product. This sheet is no different.

The instruction sheet is printed on high, full color paper and contains some small photos of the real thing. The instructions provide a listing of the accessories that are available, and not just the ones available through Twobobs. The background of the full color instruction sheet will aid and inspire the modeler. The instructions provide four-view drawings that provide the modeler with an excellent reference for markings placement. This aircraft will be a masking “fun time”.
