| Bofors
Quad 40mm Guns, 1:350 AC 350-07 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This accessory from L'Arsenal has
developed much interest. The L'Arsenal Bofers Quad 40mm comes
with six mounts per package. Each gun mount consists of three resin
pieces and seventeen photo-etched brass parts, although four brass
pieces per mount are spares. The mount is easy to build but make sure
you cut out the brass parts over a table or other flat service,
otherwise the parts can be easily lost because of their small size. I
found the most difficult step in assembly was getting the front shield
positioned correctly. In every catagory L'Arsenal has produced an
excellent and very useful product.

| Helldiver SB2C-3 |
| Entering service in 1943, the SB2C
Helldiver was the successor for the SBD Dauntless. Moderately faster
than the Dauntless, the Helldiver had shorter range than its
predecessor, 1,110 miles vs 1,345 miles. However, its bomb-load was
almost twice that of the Dauntless, 2,000 lb compared to 1,200 lb. The
Helldiver was the standard dive-bomber on Essex Class Carriers. Priced
at 6.10 Euros (around US$5.50) for a set of five, the L'Arsenal
Helldiver is an exceptional value. You can start on your air group for
the forthcoming Trumpeter 1:350 Essex. L'Arsenal also produces the
Grumman F6F Hellcat (AC 350-4) AC 350-06 |

| Corsair F4U |
| Arguably the greatest naval fighter design
from World War Two, the Vought F4U Corsair came into
service with the USMC at Guadacanal in February 1943. The other great
naval fighter, the Grumman F6F Hellcat disappeared from service as soon
as the war ended but the Corsair flew on, in service up to 1965. The
Corsair destroyed 2,140 enemy aircraft against 189 lost Corsairs.
L'Arsenal provides five aircraft per package at a price of 6.10 Euros
(around US$5.50). AC 350-05 |

| Seahawk SC-1 |
| The Curtis SC-1 Seahawk started
replacing the Vought OS2U Kingfisher and Curtis SOC. The Seahawk had a
dramatically improved performance with almost twice the speed, twice the
altitude and greater range than her predecessors. Introduced in 1944 the
Seahawk was widely fielded in 1945. L'Arsenal provides two Seahawks for
6.10 Euros (around US$5.50). AC 350-08 |
