This is another great kit from Tamiya. It isn’t perfect though and after [...]
An attempt to get as close as possible to how XZ119 looks in East Fortune now.
Well, apart from the open canopy but I liked the look of that.
A better kit than it's reputation as the fit was fairly good and I didn't have to resort to [...]

Revell's new boxing was a good opportunity to explore the build of the venerable Atlantic. It is a solid old school build with thick and strong plastic and seam lines to fill. Yet, thanks to the low number of parts it is a quick build that [...]
