This is Mirror Models little Indian 741B Motorcycle in 1/35, and it is little, only about 60mm long! There are two complete kits in the box but so far I've only built one, lots of very small parts that require a lot of care removing from [...]

Messerschmitt Me-262 “Schwalbe” in 1/32 scale by Hasegawa...

by Robert Bausch on January 11, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

sneaking in under thew wire as my last build of 2013. Airfix's new Lightning F.2A in the markings of 92Sqdn at RAF Gutersloh in the early 70's. Apart from a needle for a pitot, what you see here is straight from the box, decals and all. [...]
