Both Monogram and Revell have popped out a zillion of this kit it seems. You see this kit everywhere; eBay, Amazon, FB Marketplace. I picked mine up at a garage sale. The molds have been around since 1977. It's still a fun kit to build [...]

P-51B/C 1/72 ARMA Hobby

by Dennis Meyers on March 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Another fantastic kit from ARMA. The molding quality and level of detail rivals that of 1/48th scale kits. The cockpit detail in particular is outstanding. The kit offers parts and marking for seven very diverse Mustangs, including a [...]

1/48 Dehavilland Vampire F.3

by John Healy on March 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

This is the brand new Airfix kit. It’s well engineered and fits great. I did trim the bottoms of the cockpit consoles to get a better fit between the upper and lower fuselage parts. One other thing to be aware of is that Airfix [...]

1/72 Westland Whirlwind – Airfix 02064-0

by George Schembri on March 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I was able to sneak in another completion during an ongoing kitchen reno at my sons house and I also got to practice some more white masking with the Operation Starkey identification stripes. The 1978 Airfix kit did prove to be a decent [...]
