Fokker D VII (Alb. early), Eduard, 1:48, Ltn. d R Carl Degelow, Jasta 40s, 30 victories

This was a very easy going build with no major intricacies. In my opinion, one of the best kits of this type in its scale. I warmly recommend. I myself have three more kits ready to assemble. Pilot Carl Degelow was the last pilot to [...]

P-51 B Hasegawa 1/72, 325 FG, Operation Frantic-1

Operation frantic was shuttle missions from UK, and Italy to bases located in occupated by USSR Ukraine. After long discussions among US high-ranking commanders with Minister Molotov and Stalin, consent was given to USAAF bases in Ukraine. [...]

Taming the 'Beast'Building the Infinity Models 1/32 SBC-4 Helldiver

The advent of the Infinity Models 1/32 Helldiver kit in late 2021 was interesting in two respects. Firstly, it’s the first injection moulded representation of the type in this scale. Secondly, the release comes not from one of the [...]

1/48 ICM BQM-34A Firebee

A nice simple model of an important drone. The Ryan BQM-34A was the first in a series of drones used for military purposes. They were used for target emulation, high and low altitude recon, ECM, E-LINT missions and defense/radar [...]

The Hasegawa 1/48th Phantom variants are excellent platforms to explore the diversity of camouflage schemes of the magnificent aircraft. Here, I used DXM's decal sheet to depict a (probable) early F-4E serving in the Iranian Air Force. [...]

ICM's 1/48 scale Gotha Go242A

Hi, guys... this Go242A kit is a recent addition into my collection and is rather a good kit to build, although there are a few tricky areas as well. Firstly, though, I have to apologise because I only realised a few days back that I had [...]

Video: Opel Blitz Omnibus - 1/72 - Roden - AVF Model

Another Devastator

Bill Koppos has already done an excellent review of the kit on this site, to which I have little to add. I totally agreed with all his points about the strengths and weaknesses of what I thought was essentially a very good kit. The only [...]

Dual Build 1/72 Hobbyboss & Eduard Mig-15's.....

Here is a a build of both kits. The Eduard is by far the definitive Mig-15 in almost any scale...Perhaps my HpH Mig-15 may rival it for detail but that is 1/32 scale!. The Hobbyboss kit is surprisingly detailed for an inexpensive kit . [...]
