1/72 Hasegawa FW-190 D-9

An end-of-February-addition from me... I got this one from a friend in unpainted condition and after languishing alone in it's box for a few years I let it be part of my happy Ta-152-family... Big brother was finished before it's younger [...]

Supermarine Seafang in 1/48 scale by Trumpeter

The subject of a fair bit of criticism, the Trumpeter Seafang & Spiteful nevertheless are well moulded, precise fitting kits that are deserving of some effort to do justice to. Mine is built taking on board some of the points raised by [...]

1:48 Scale, Tamiya P-47D-15Re, "Thunderbolt"

One of MY favorite models of all time. I know Koppos has that theme running but I have to say this is one really well engineered kit and it's a terriific build. This time, I did build the model OOB. It really doesn't need to have [...]
