GlueBrush 13 mm Tip Refill Pack, model accessory
500908256€4.89
Precise adhesive work often depends on the right contact width, and this GlueBrush refill pack adds 18 replacement tips in a 13 mm format for repeated use at the workbench. The wider tip size suits glue application across broader bonding areas, where an even spread helps keep joins neat during model-building and repair tasks. As a dedicated refill for the GlueBrush system, the pack supports ongoing workshop use without changing the established handling of the applicator itself. The 13 mm format gives a clear, practical option when adhesive needs to cover more surface than a narrow tip allows. That makes the set useful for assembly stages, material joins and touch-up work where consistent glue placement matters. With 18 replacement tips in one pack, fresh working heads are available for multiple sessions instead of relying on a worn applicator end. On a model-building bench, the refill pack fits naturally into regular adhesive routines, whether one stage calls for a clean new tip or separate materials are being handled in sequence. The format also works well as workshop stock for hobby projects that return to glue work again and again.

GlueBrush 3 mm Tip, refill pack, model supply
500908255€4.89
GlueBrush 3 mm Tip (18) Refill Pack brings a straightforward supply of fresh applicator tips to the workbench for precise adhesive handling in model-building tasks. With 18 replacement tips in a 3 mm format, the set supports repeated glue application on smaller contact points, narrow edges and detail-led assembly steps. The 3 mm tip size helps keep the glue line defined when working on compact joins that need more control than a broader applicator can offer. As a refill pack, this set is built around maintaining the GlueBrush setup already in use, making it a practical addition for ongoing builds, touch-up work and repair jobs. The pack format suits hobby benches where consumables need to stay ready between projects, and the quantity of 18 tips provides a useful reserve for regular adhesive work. The age marking is 14 years and up. On a model-building table, these replacement tips fit naturally into assembly sessions that move between test fitting, bonding and detail placement. They also support careful adhesive application during maintenance work, when a fresh tip can help keep handling neat around smaller parts and tight spaces.

EdgeArt Brush Modeling Brush with PTFE Tip
500908252€8.69
EdgeArt Brush brings 2 functions together in one modeling tool: a brush for paint work and a PTFE tip for decal handling. That combination supports controlled finishing on scale models, where small surfaces, narrow edges and clean placement call for more than a standard brush alone. The PTFE tip adds a dedicated contact point for moving, aligning or smoothing decals during application, while the brush side remains ready for detail painting and touch-ups. This makes the tool useful across separate finishing steps without changing between unrelated bench tools. The compact format suits careful work on markings, trim lines and other small visual details that shape the final look of a build. With batteries not included and no power requirement stated, the focus stays entirely on manual control and precise handling at the workbench. In a model-building session, the EdgeArt Brush can move from painted details to decal placement as the finish develops across the body or surface. For hobby benches where fine corrections, small graphics and neat edges matter, the combined brush and PTFE tip keep the process direct and exact.

Scalextric ADAPTER CLASSIC-SPORT Track Converter
560008222€16.29
The Scalextric ADAPTER CLASSIC-SPORT Track Converter creates a direct link between CLASSIC and SPORT track sections, opening mixed-layout circuit building with a defined 175 mm straight format. Twin lanes and integrated metal rails carry the slot car path across the join, while the molded connector ends match the two track systems at each side. This set contains 2 converter sections, which can be placed as a single transition pair or used at separate points in a larger layout. The straight profile helps when planning lane flow through longer runs, pit approaches, or return sections where older CLASSIC parts meet SPORT track. The black molded surface keeps the visual look consistent within a circuit, and the inline design makes the adapter a functional part of the track rather than a separate attachment. Connector tabs and locking points are formed into each section to join mechanically with the surrounding pieces. In use, the converter supports layouts that combine existing CLASSIC sections with newer SPORT elements instead of keeping both systems apart. It suits circuit updates, replacement planning, and custom track builds where a clean physical and electrical transition between the 2 formats is needed. Age 14+.

Italeri M4A2 U.S. Marine Corps Tank Kit 1:35
510006583€35.99
Italeri M4A2 U.S. Marine Corps is a detailed 1:35 scale assembly kit that brings the Sherman medium tank into a focused build with a finished model length of 16.8 cm. The subject represents the diesel-powered M4A2 variant used by the United States Marine Corps in Pacific operations, giving the model a clear historical setting as the hull, turret and suspension come together piece by piece. The kit uses new gluable T54E1 tracks, a feature that adds extra definition to the running gear and changes how the lower hull reads once the tracks are fitted around the wheels and sprockets. A decal sheet for 4 versions opens up different marking choices, including named vehicles and alternate tactical codes, so the final finish can follow different U.S. Marine Corps examples from Iwo Jima in February 1945. The build is marked 14 Years+ and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes, which suits a project with multiple construction and finishing stages. Assembly kit contents are included. On the bench, the 1:35 format gives enough room to work through camouflage, turret markings and smaller exterior details with control.

Italeri 1:24 Container Auflieger 40Ft Kit
510003951€58.99
Italeri 1:24 Container Auflieger 40Ft is a detailed plastic kit that brings a standard freight trailer into scale form with a 50.5 cm finished length and the long proportions of a 40 ft container setup. The subject draws on the container format used across ships, trains and trucks, so the completed build carries the look of real intermodal transport into a shelf display or diorama scene. The assembly kit focuses on the structure and finish of a commercial trailer rather than a racing or military vehicle. Molded parts form the chassis, underframe and running gear, while the container body adds the tall corrugated profile seen in modern freight handling. The decal sheet goes beyond large side logos by adding technical capacity markings, caution labels, speed signs and multiple registration details that sharpen the industrial character of the model. A color instructions sheet guides the painting stage, and the stated assembly time of 600 minutes makes this a substantial bench project with room for careful fitting, painting and decal placement. Placed beside a warehouse backdrop, loading bay or road transport scene, the finished trailer suits modern logistics layouts with a clear commercial theme. It also works as a companion build for 1:24 truck subjects, where the container trailer adds scale length and freight context to a complete transport combination. Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Italeri Fiat CR.42 Falco Aircraft Kit 1:72
510001437€17.99
The Italeri Fiat CR.42 Falco brings a late-1930s Italian fighter into 1:72 scale with the unmistakable layout of a single-seat biplane. Fixed landing gear, an open cockpit and the compact 11.5 cm finished size give the aircraft a clear period character that stands out in a display of historic aviation subjects. The original Fiat C.R. 42 was developed from the earlier C.R. 32 and combined traditional biplane configuration with newer structural solutions, including an alloy and steel frame covered with canvas and metal panelling. Italeri translates that aircraft into a detailed plastic kit that invites careful assembly and finishing. The subject is tied to the Battle of Britain period, when Fiat C.R. 42 aircraft served with the Italian Regia Aeronautica within the Corpo Aereo Italiano. A supercharged air-cooled Fiat A.74 radial engine powered the full-size aircraft to 400 km/h, while its manoeuvrability made it well regarded by Italian pilots. The super decals sheet opens 6 marking versions, so the finished model can be approached as a specific historical aircraft rather than a generic biplane. With a stated assembly time of 600 minutes and an age marking of 14 years and up, the build suits modellers who enjoy painting camouflage, placing unit insignia and refining small details across wings, fuselage and tail. Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Italeri 1:72 15 cm FieldHowitzer Field Gun
510007082soon available again
Italeri 1:72 15 cm FieldHowitzer Field Gun brings a WWII artillery subject into a compact scale with the choice of building either the 15 cm sFH 18 howitzer or the 10,5 cm sK 18 field gun. The detailed plastic kit combines a long-barrel gun assembly, carriage components and crew figures into a display that captures the look of a field emplacement in miniature. The 15 cm sFH 18 is described in the kit material as a 150 mm howitzer with a maximum range of 13.5 km, while the 105 mm version uses the same carriage with a longer barrel. The model can be shown in towing configuration or firing configuration, which changes the stance of the trails and barrel for two distinct presentations. Waterslide decals support 3 versions, and the included figures add activity around the gun position through different poses for handling ammunition, directing fire and operating the emplacement. Model length is 12.0 cm, giving the finished artillery piece a compact footprint that still leaves room for carriage detail and crew placement. On a shelf, in a display case or as part of a historical diorama, the 1:72 scale works well with other military miniatures and scenery. Assembly takes 600 minutes. Paints, glue and tools are required separately.
