Luft46's Blog

Somewhat disappointingly this mainly online modelling business is closing. Back in the 90’s I bought a lot of resin kits from Earl especially Planet Models Luft 46 stuff. I also bought other stuff but it’s mostly the Planet and Special Hobby limited run injection moulded kits that I still have in my cupboard. A degree of envy from other hobby shops in Australia closed down his Czech connection and left him with a reduced range in recent years. Apart from being cheap he was also very quick in his postage and often double packed his parcels to reduce postage for his customers. Like much of those glory days in the Luft 46 modelling field this aspect is now over. I used to joke that he had a secret pact with the Devil that enabled his kits to come so quickly.
Those days and NKR models will be sadly missed by L46 afficionados.
