It's high time to announce our iModeler awards for July. These were selected by the editorial jury among the exactly one hundred new articles added during the month, which prompted a total of 835 readers' comments.
As usual, we're [...]
This one is modeled after Kermit Week's Duck, at "Fantasy of Flight", a little south of Orlando, Florida. Oddly enough, the decals were from an old Esci sheet, including the noseart. For a bi-plane (and an Airfix), it was a [...]
I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.
This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]

Loved the kit and it went together very well. A minimum of fit issues and the detail was nicely done without that [...]
