Old Vietnam veteran from 435th Tactical Fighter Squadron (1966 - 1974) (Tail Code: FO), 8th Tactical Fighter Wing. Tamiya released kit (60305) in 1995, so it's quite old (and huge in this scale). Kit was completed in year 2022. Painted [...]

Revell 1/32 Arado Ar 196A 3

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Revell's Ar 196A is a great kit. It is highly detailed, a solid build for the most part without fiddly issues. There are only two disadvantages. The first is the lack of a beaching trolley. The chunky stand provided takes the glamor off [...]

Flying the Orient Express: the Handley Page H.P.42 Heracles!
