Review: Discovered in The Department of Lost: Aeroclub 1/48 Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b

by Tom Cleaver on January 28, 2024 · in Reviews · 18 ≡

A model that survives from the pre-Jurassic days of 1996. Of all the awful airplanes the Royal Flying Corps went to war with, it is a tossup whether the F.E. series or the B.E. series can take the title of Worst of All. The two had [...]

Capital Guardian- F-4D, 113th wing, DC Air National Guard

by Wes Pennest on January 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I've done the Tamiya B, the Meng -G, so I'll round this out with the Zoukei-Mura -D. This Guard Phantom is a MiG killer, just not with the DC Air National Guard. 66-7661 bagged a MiG-17 and MiG-21 in Vietnam, and it belonged to the 555th [...]

by Tom Cleaver on January 28, 2024 · in Reviews · 15 ≡

I built this model 20 years ago when it first came out. I am including the review I wrote then, since Eduard is re-releasing this kit in February 2024, with the Spccial Hobby plastic and Eduard resin detail parts, and an Eduard decal [...]

An Easterner in the West: Zlin Z-526AFS "Akrobat", Sassuolo Aero Club

by Roland Sachsenhofer on January 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

It is not surprising that the Czech manufacturer Eduard has taken on the Zlin Z-526 with particular love and expertise: Constructions by the Czech aircraft company Zlin (originally: Zlínska letecká akciová společnost) have long played [...]
