Tony Fokker’s Greatest Hits

by Merrill Anderson on December 25, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Three Eduard 1/48 kits, done pretty close to 'out of the box', fussy but excellent kits. One note, the Triplane is greener than the photos, some error by me in lighting or camera setting,the streaking was done with oil paints over [...]

by one4832 on December 24, 2012 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This is ICM's knock off of the Tamiya kit. It is so close that the parts are virtually interchangeable. However that is where all similarities end. This kit is nowhere nearly as well engineered as the Tamiya kit and given it's low price [...]
