Harrier Gr.7 – ZG-501 (1996)

Dear Mates, here my recent finished build, a Harrier Gr.7 from Eduards Ltd. Edition. I have to say that this kit was my personally nightmare, I had a lot of troubles with it (was not always the fault of the kit ;)) But at the end the [...]

Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat in 1/48.

Long a favourite of mine, I waited for a better kit than the Academy offering but have not found one. Unfortunately the HB kit seems to suffer from a number of issues which made me stick to what I had in the stash. This one has a resin [...]
