A company called DFI have re released the old Frog Tupolev SB -2 light bomber, I suspect this means that the old Novo kits are no longer available. Retail price is £ 5.49 - available from Hannants or Pocketbond who are the distributors .
A Russian company has produced a kit of the Polikarpov I- 15 , by the box art it is the early version with fixed wheels, the kit is available as a new in the 'Encore models' list at £ 8.99 . But, I have seen it under a different label in Scale Modeller Aviation at a lower price. Keep your eyes peeled on this one .
Also new is the Munitions wagon and ambulance wagon in 1/72nd scale by IMEX, retailing at £ 5.49 in soft plastic. Although designed for the American west pre 1900, this value for money kit, is indeed a utility item and provides a cheap source of horse drawn transport for the SCW gamer in 20mm.
All the items are available from good model shops and direct from Pocketbond at PO BOX 80,WELWYN,HERTS,AL6 OND.
