Hello everyone

Before we get to the events of this coming weekend, we have an important announcement. As you know, we are a family-owned company, and a holiday effectively means closing the company. We've been on holiday since Monday, and since the festival described below, which we co-organize, will be taking place from Friday, we'll be closed from Friday. We'll be back on July 17th. During this time, our online store will be open, and you can place orders. However, all orders will be processed after our return, meaning shipping will begin on July 18th. Please take this into account. Appropriate announcements will also be posted on the homepage and in emails regarding orders.

This coming weekend, July 3rd-5th, the 15th Baltic Modeling Festival will take place in Koszalin, at the Koszalin University of Technology on Racławicka Street. As a company, we've been participating in this event since its third edition, which is our inception. We're also proud to be its co-organizer for several years now.

We cordially invite you to visit our festival. We're primarily addressing those customers who found us through DMJMM. If you're visiting the Polish seaside on vacation, Koszalin is only a two-hour drive from the Tricity area. Admission is free, and believe me, it's worth it!

Our booth will be there, of course. It's a record-breaking one. We'll be featuring both ModelMaker and DMJMM, so if you're not a modeler and happen to be in the area, we highly encourage you to visit us, see the model competition exhibition, and make some purchases.

We're preparing a special premiere for this event: the announced Polish F-35 kit featuring the Panther.

We've received numerous questions about whether this decal will be available without the main sheet with operational inscriptions. We don't anticipate this set being widely available, but you'll be able to purchase it immediately in Koszalin! However, due to numerous inquiries, after careful consideration, we've decided that unless we release the errata sheet for general sale in stores, we'll add this product to our offer. However, as we mentioned at the beginning, all orders will not be shipped until the second half of July.

Another surprise is that this set is also available in 1/32 scale :)

Three sets will also be released, two of which haven't been announced yet...

They will likely be of less interest to Polish modelers, but they are no less interesting. Currently, in Europe, the Netherlands is the most advanced user of the F-35, alongside Norway. They have already developed three special occasion paint schemes, one of which we've already announced, and today we're showing you all three, all of which are now available for purchase.

Decals are available in two scales, but we can already announce that upon our return, it will also be available as a mask + decal set, in a Yalow version.

And two more that we haven't even had time to announce:

D..246 Dutch F-35A 70 Anniversary of 323 Squadron

D..247 Dutch F-35A 80 Anniversary of 322 Squadron

Everything points to another premiere at the IBG booth in Koszalin, which may not be our product, but is close to our hearts and we had a significant influence on its content. IBG Models has announced a model of the Su-20 in Polish paint schemes for July, which is a rebox of Modelsvit sprues.

We prepared the decals for this model ourselves. It was a very challenging project, requiring a lot of work and keeping us up at night. However, thanks to our friends, we managed to create a rather interesting and substantively accurate set, which includes, among other things, a full set of original operating labels, based on the original documentation. The limited photo material made the instructions somewhat difficult to prepare, but we managed to create drawings for that as well.

The full DMJMM product range will also be available. T-shirts, sweatshirts, in full sizes, and bags.

Before the Odlotowe Suwałki Air Show, we prepared a lot of new products that were premiered there. New beer mug designs and coasters, puzzles in two sizes, new bag designs – shopper bags and backpacks, mousepads, and our first baseball caps!

 

There is also a new T-shirt design that we have prepared to celebrate the appearance of the Kościuszko emblems on FA-50 aircraft.

 

All of these products won't be available for regular sale until the second half of July. We also have a little surprise for you. The chef has prepared her own line of T-shirts, aimed at lovers of Slavic culture. Be sure to come check them out ;)

That's all for today. Another newsletter after we return from vacation.

Best regards,

The MM Team
