Zvezda Yak-3

by Tom Cleaver on May 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Given the editor reviewed the kit i thought I might show what it looks like finished. This is an excellent kit, as the video review reveals. I would be very happy if Zvezda were to do the rest of the Yaks, since this is really the best [...]

by James Kelley on May 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hasegawa 1/48 F-16C straight out of the box except using TwoBob's Polish Air Force decals. I am currently working on a Polish Air Force jet collection and since they are now a part of NATO and are flying F-16's I had to add that to the [...]

by Chris Sakowski on May 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This kit was a bear to get together...must have been slightly older kit because there was quite a bit of flash and some parts warped. It didnt want to fit to well either. I have always wanted to build an F-102 from the 4780th ADW at [...]
