Wie ein Skyrocket, oh!

by Kyle Koppos on May 14, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Based on my sufferi- I mean, observations, the following is my best guestimate on how to create an 'accurate' initial-form XF5F-1. First, let me clarify: this is a wonderful kit. Out of the box, the Minicraft Skyrocket is great. It is my [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 A6M5c Zero

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 13, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

IBG 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-15 Torpedo Bomber

by Alistair Gauld on May 12, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This really is a beautifully detailed little kit. It goes together rather well even is these ham-fisted hands. The kit itself is a complete what-if as there was only one D-15 which was destroyed and never carried a torpedo. I decided for a [...]
