Hot news from Gary Newman at MMD-Squadron! The first plastic parts for Czech Model's forthcoming 1/48 Ryan FR-1 Fireball are due any day now. Resin details and decals will follow within the next few weeks, so this exciting kit should be on the shelves by Summer.

The kit will feature:

- Detailed exterior with engraved panel lines.
- Detailed resin cockpit, radial engine, wheel wells, wheels, and bombs.
- Vacuform canopy.
- Mkgs for VF-66, 1945 and VF-1E, 1946 - both in overall Glossy Sea Blue.
