Halberd Models

Hello dear friends. We have completed the first 1/32 scale conversion kit for Tamiya P-51D Cavalier F-51D Mustang / Mustang Mk 2 https://www.facebook.com/Halberd-models-538296593300015/photos/pcb.1168944396901895/1168938226902512/ We are currently finishing work on a new conversion for the Tamiya P-51D model, which will be the Cavalier Turbo Mustang III. Best regards from Ukraine, Andrey.

Hello. Thanks to Kevin for reviewing our kits. I wanted to answer a few questions raised in this topic. The first sets for Mosquito, most likely we will not be able to make. The problem is that the tire pattern will tear the rubber of the mold after several casts due to the very small size of the disk relative to the size of the wheel itself. And since the tire itself cannot be processed without consequences from the outside, the production loses all meaning. The second one can buy our kits only in our store on EBay. https://www.ebay.com/str/halberdmodels Thirdly, we started making tires with adjustable sag, and we also plan to re-release several early sets with this feature. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F235080958-a-26bc-invader-wheel-set-3225-for-hobby-boss-132%2F&fbclid=IwAR17qGyyof9z3tcpKnUzXEKQMOcQIjua5TNac3oN0gkUJ__sKAD9a_dGHZI Fourth, I already wrote about this before, if anyone has problems with our kits, we are always happy to help, we change damaged or incorrectly processed parts for free. If you have any questions, I will always be happy to answer. Sincerely from Ukraine, Andrey.

Hello. As I understand it, we are talking about our sets of Halberd Models. Let me answer all the questions in order. First, Dunlop tires were massively installed on German aircraft during World War II, apparently there is the same story as with Ford cars that were massively in service with the Wehrmacht. Second clearance between tire and rim on Do-335 set. That's quite possible. We were faced with this situation, several modelers wrote that the disc and tire do not sit under tightness. The reason only applies to some of the first sets, since they had a minimum tension when designing, in all new sets this problem was not observed. The reason is that today the company Axsson whose materials we used have been taken over by Sika and it has changed the characteristics of the resin that we used, this material after casting gives a large shrinkage of parts. To date, the material has been replaced and this problem does not exist. We are always open to dialogue and communication. Some modelers contacted us with their problem that after processing they damaged parts or tires, we always went to meet them and changed the damaged parts free of charge. If you have any problems, please write to us, we will be happy to help you. Best regards from Ukraine, Andrey. https://www.shutterstock.com/ru/image-photo/junkers-ju88-airplane-wreck-world-war-60761284

Hello Anthony. Kits for TBF Avenger will be available next week. Tentatively on Tuesday-Wednesday. Thank. With all respect, Andrey.

Hello. Of course, the weight of the model is more than enough to have a drawdown on the tire. To increase the tire’s drawdown, we have provided three notches on the disc casting, after which the drawdown can be further increased. Thank! Regards from Ukraine, Andrey.

Hello dear colleagues! We have completed two new 1/32 scale kits for TBM / TBF Avenger models And finally, we were able to finish the production of the kit for the Avro Lancaster model in 1/32 scale. I would especially like to thank Jeffrey Stouter from Schwenksville Pennsylvania USA, who helped us measure the model for making this kit. I hope you enjoy the sets. Take care of yourself during this difficult time.

Dear colleagues. In this difficult time I wish everyone to be healthy and not get sick! We have finished work on new kits for the P-47 D on a scale of 1/24 and 1/32, and soon they will be available for purchase. As I promised, these sets with adjustable wheel drawdown. We have prepared a video on how to process them and how to independently increase the drawdown on the tire. The release of the kit for Avro Lancaster is a little delayed, we are waiting to receive materials for work from the USA. Unfortunately, now mail has increased delivery time. Thanks. Sincerely from Ukraine, Andrey.

Hello dear modelers. We have ready for you new sets on He 111 and He 162 in the scale of 1/32 . I hope the sets will be of interest to you. You can purchase them in our store on EBay. Best regards from Ukraine, Andrey.

Hello dear modelers. That's right, our wheels are neither vinyl nor rubber. They are made of polyurethane composites, like discs. Only hard disks and soft tires. After polymerization, tires do not melt plastic and resin. We have been using this material for more than five years and to date there has not been a single criticism that the tires damaged the model. I hope the number by February 10, I can already show our new wheels with a drawdown on the tires. Thank you all for your interest in our kits. Sincerely from Ukraine, Andrey.

Unfortunately, 740x210 wheels were installed on the Fw 190D. And on the Fw 190, both early and late versions of the 700X175. And the problem is that we have not yet been able to find good photos of the 740x210 wheel. And my English is very bad, only a translator from Google saves me. Thanks. With all respect, Andrey.

Hello Tim. A set on the Fw 190D, so far no plans. Very few good photographs of the times of war, with readable inscriptions and markings on the tire. If we manage to find such photos, we will of course make such a set. Thanks. Sincerely from Ukraine, Andrey.
