by Fly Past Rush on April 6, 2025 · in Aviation

The 1/48th Hasegawa F-14A Tomcats weren't introduced until the late 1980s and were quickly hailed as the best detailed Tomcat kit. The option to drop slats and flaps was a first for a 1/48th F-14 kit however (as with most F-14 model kits) [...]

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 5, 2025 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Eduard's Wildcat is a very nice kit. Surface texture is excellent and the build is simple relatively to the high load of details. Two things to watch for are the positioning of the guns and main landing gears. The inner wing mold lacks [...]
