So you like 1/72 Japanese ‘eh ? Try my Mavis.

Japanese Ram-jets
Meng 1/72 Kayaba Katsuodori Ram-jets
It seems to be '1/72 Japanese week' on iM, so here's another contribution. These Meng kits come two-in-a-box, and are superbly moulded. The actual aircraft was a concept only and never got beyond one [...]
Fujimi 1/72 B7A1 “Grace” – Training colors
Having just viewed Milan's beautifully done Grace, and having not posted in some time (still racking up hours decalling my MiG-31...), I decided to yank this out of my display case and post it, just to have a couple versions of the Grace [...]

Airfix to release a 1/48 Defiant.
Above is my Classic Airframes B P Defiant built last year. Just heard about Airfixs new Defiant in 1/48 to be released in early 2016.
I love my CA kit, but can't help but wish I used the time building something else. I'm dying to see the [...]
Martin B-57 Intruder – REVELL – 1/72
This model was fitted to prove that you can put functionality in a 1/72 kit without much compromise the accuracy of the final result.
In it, all rudders are mobile (elevator, aileron and direction), the turbines rotate (just blow), the [...]
