SAPPHIRE R8245 Auto Control Cycle feature.. Description Introduction.. The Sapphire decoder has a unique function which allows locos to be controlled by a preprogrammed independent automatic control cycle. This is ACC. ACC allows for a cycle of EVENTs (EVENT Cycle) to be automatically executed by the decoder without any manual control input from the user via the DCC controller. The EVENT Cycle consists of up to 4 different loco running states preceded by an optional delay. e.g. You can use ACC to carry out many combinations of automatic control from basic operations like automatically starting a loco running at a preset speed after a set time delay, Or, more complex operations can be set up e.g. run/stop/reverse/stop with predetermined durations, speed and direction for each event. The following information describes how to implement ACC running.

The first four sets in Airfix’s relaunched 1:32 scale figure range are now available. The British Eighth Army, British Paratroops, British Commandos and U.S. Infantry, all from the Second World War, are priced around £4.86 each.

 

As well as appealing to boys, the sets will also get the memories flowing for a generation of dads who played with these figures when they were children. The new models are almost identical to the originals – the same moulds are used, but the plastic is slightly stiffer, allowing for easier painting (a detailed painting guide is included on the back of each box).

 

The British Eighth Army figures are modelled on the men who fought across North Africa and in Italy, while the Paratroops come with their trademark red berets (at least, they will be red when you’ve painted them) and camouflaged helmets. The Commandos were created for raids behind enemy lines, while the U.S. troops depicted in this set fought with distinction in Europe.

 

Each box comes with a selection of 14 soldiers and five more sets are due for launch soon.

It was 100 years ago that the Admiralty started work on developing an airship (at the not-inconsiderable cost of £35,000). This was the first step in the development of the Fleet Air Arm, and a new box set from Airfix commemorates this anniversary.

There are five aircraft in the set, all of which have played an important part in naval aviation. The Sopwith Pup, Fairey Swordfish, Vought Corsair, Harrier GR7 and Westland Lynx are all included in 1:72 scale.

You also get 18 acrylic paints, a tube of poly cement and two paint brushes, as well as an 18-page instruction booklet.

For Airfix skill level 2 modellers, the 100 Years of Naval Aviation Collection is priced at £29.87.
