Gerry Anderson Trophy for
Scale ModelWorld 2013
I
PMS (UK) has announced the inauguration of a special Gerry Anderson Trophy for Scale
ModelWorld 2013. The new award, to be present annually, will be for the ‘best model in
the science fiction category of a spacecraft, vehicle or diorama’. Anderson passed away
in late December 2012 but his legacy lives on in the TV series he created over a period of
some 40 years.
Gerry Anderson will be best known for his classic ‘Supermarionation’ TV series such as
Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5, Captain Scarlett as well as the later live-action UFO and Space
1999. The characters and more importantly the vehicles and spaceships, inspired modellers
all over the world.
Models, both commercially available examples and amazing scratchbuilt masterpieces,
have graced the science fiction classes and display tables at model shows for many years and
they remain popular to this day.
The new trophy is the brainchild of the Wakefield Branch of IPMS (UK), who approached
Competition Secretary Tony Horton with their proposal. IPMS (UK) approached the Trustees of
the Gerry Anderson Estate, who have graciously allowed us to use the Gerry Anderson name
for the new trophy.
Gerry’s son, Jamie, said “I’m sure Dad would have been pleased to know that talented
modellers would be recognised with a trophy bearing his name”.
Tony Horton, IPMS (UK) National Competition Secretary said “The Gerry Anderson Trophy is
in honour of the man who has had an influence on our hobby, but in particular those modellers
who enjoy creating and modelling Science Fiction subjects”.
MENG MODEL’S DEBUT
1:32 RELEASE – ME 163 B
T
he Me 163 B Komet was the world’s only operational rocket-powered
FORTHCOMING 1:72 F-35A
LIGHTNING II FROM ITALERI
T
he Lockheed Martin
F-35 Lightning
II, a result of the
Joint Strike Fighter
program, is the most
advanced expression of
military aircraft to perform
close support and ground
attack duties. Its extreme
flexibility makes it suitable
also to the “dogfighting”
and to carry out missions of air superiority. The F-35 is a “Fifth
generation jet fighter, with advanced stealth capability, that intended
to replace a wide range of existing fighter , strike and ground attack
aircraft of the Western Countries Air Forces.
The development project is based on three main models: the F-35A
is a convention take off and landing aircraft, the F-35B is a short
take off an vertical landing variant, and the F-35C is a carrier based
variant. Thanks to
its external wing
supports and its
internal bays the
“Lightning II” is able
to carry a wide
variety of offensive
weapons such as
cluster bombs,
laser-guided and GPS-guided bombs, air-to-surface missiles and
anti-ship missiles.
Italeri will release an all-new 1:72 scale kit of the F-35A Lightning II.
This kit will comprise 85 parts in total of which 7 parts for the
fuselage, 3 transparent parts and the remaining 75 parts for the rest
of the article.
Other features of our F-35A are the fully engraved panel lines,
weapons bay open and closed, canopy open and closed.
Thanks to The Hobby Company Limited for the information.
interceptor to shoot down enemy aircraft. It had tremendous speed and
climb rate thanks to its
unique power source
However, due to the
aircraft’s short loiter time and
extremely high speed, the
only wing (Jagdgeschwader)
equipped with Me 163B
scored only nine victories
during WWII. Even so, just
like its nickname Komet, the
Me 163 B flashed across the
sky of the history, leaving
behind a bright light.
This 1:32 scale QS-001 Me
163 B model kit is MENG’s
first large scale aircraft
project. The model is 178mm
in length and 292mm in
wingspan. This kit consists of
190 parts on 7 plastic sprues,
23 parts on 2 PE frets, 3
rubber tyres and 2 poly caps.
This QS-001 model faithfully replicates the small tail-less shape of Me-163B.
Two different weapon systems, MG 151/20 and MK 108 are provided.
Subassemblies including a complete HWK 109-509A rocket engine, T-Stoff tank
and ammunition box are included. A number of hatches may be built in either the
open or closed position. Model fuselage breakdown refers to the structure of real
aircraft. No cement is needed to join the front and rear parts of the fuselage. A
support frame is provided to show interior details. Three painting schemes
are provided.
In more news from MENG, a 1:48 scale Me 410 A-1 high speed bomber
will also be released.
We will have more information about these new releases in the next issue.
