by Tom Cleaver on June 3, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

(Refurbished) Bf 109E

by IAN JACKSON on June 3, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The Tamiya 1:48 109E kits are just great for quick builds, yes there are newer and better detailed kits around, but for sheer VFM, the Tamiya kits are hard to beat. I've added only belts made from masking tape and AM decals to this one [...]

Heller's 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIC

by Bob Torres on June 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

An oldie but goodie, Heller originally released this kit in 1977. This was my third build of this kit, my first was in 1978 and at the time I felt it was the best Hurricane Mk. II in 1/72 scale. Most of this build was straight out of the [...]
