by Bill Koppos on July 27, 2013 · in Armor · 11 ≡

Time for something that clanks. This 'lil beastie was the only enemy tank to tread on U.S. soil in WW2, a couple being present on frozen Kiska Island in the Aleutians. Dragon's new 1/35 Ha-go is a beauty, easy to build, low parts count. [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 Scale Bristol Beaufighter Mk-VI

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

Another great kit by Tamiya, so what else can I say. Fit was spot on and other than the need of some extra detail in the respective cockpits, the kit is awesome. I only say that because for some it's not enough. Others, (Like me) will [...]
