Dear Friends! We are glad to announce our new release the kit
# 338 Boeing 707 – 321, scale 1:144.
The Boeing 707 was an American airliner with four engines and a narrow body fuselage. The prototype first flew in 1954, and series production lasted from 1958 to 1979. Boeing then began to produce a series of intercontinental transports to orders from the Pan American airline. In the 1960s Pan Am was the world's most glamorous airline, and at the center of their success between 1963 and 1968 was the Boeing 707-321. The aircraft became the most famous airliner of its time.
The aircraft remained in service until the early 2000s in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere... And also with John Travolta, the owner of N707JT (the last two letters of the registration number being the initials of his name). Military and freight versions of the Boeing 707 still continue in service and will carry on flying until around 2040.

Dear Friends! Meet our new model #351 Convair XC-99, scale 1:144
The XC-99 was an American heavy transport aircraft derived from the B-36 strategic bomber. Its first flight took place in 1947, and its Air Force service lasted from 1950 to 1957. The plane was the largest transport aircraft of its time and could carry 400 fully equipped soldiers or 45 tons of cargo. The XC-99 set several world records in its time, and it was also extensively used by the US Air Force during the Korean War. There was a project to build a transcontinental passenger plane on its basis, but this was canceled. The US Air Force did not issue further orders for the type, and the XC-99 remained a single prototype. Until the appearance of the C-5 Galaxy, it was the largest in its class.

Dear Friends! We are glad to announce our new modell kit #825 Horch V8 Type 830R, scale 1:35. Horch V8 Type 830R - German light army vehicle, developed from the Horch 830 civilian car in 1934. For the needs of the army, the basic design was greatly simplified, but the main structural elements were significantly strengthened in view of the requirements of the military.
From 1934 to 1937, a total of almost 4,500 units of this type were produced, which were widely used from the first days of World War II up to and including 1943, when the vast majority of them were lost in the roadless conditions of the Eastern Front. The Horch 830-R is considered the first example of the Kubelwagen type of vehicle that was widely distributed in the German army during the war.
