Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I got this kit as a practice run for Academy's B-50D with the idea if I was going to bungle something it would be something that was easy to replace. No one glaring problem presented itself thru the build; if I was to whine about something [...]
Tamiya's 1972 mold shows its age. This 1/48th scale kit provides basic cockpit components and sports minimal engraved panel lines. Nonetheless, the assembled model has the characteristics of the Hayate (Frank) including the purposeful look [...]
