AFV Club 1/35 8.8cm Flack 18
The mighty 88 is well depicted in AFV Club's model. It is a complex and a highly detailed kit that does not need a much building effort to look like the real gun.

1/72 SAbre 6 'Black Tulip' Fujimi conversion

Editor's showcase: 1/48 Tamiya P-51C "Lou III"
This might be one of the last good chances to impress anyone with a completed Tamiya 1/48 P-51B Mustang kit, so here it is! I finished this model some three years ago, and it still stands as one of my personal favorites.
Building it was as [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 RF-4E Phantom II 'faded camouflage'

Here’s a couple I have built long [...]
