by Stellan Schroeder Englund on December 17, 2021 · in Reviews · 11 ≡

It is fairly fresh off the Airfix work desks and you may have a seen a few of them built already, however there might be some interest to see a few sprue shots and close-up stills. First sprue is the wings. Beautiful they are and it seems [...]

1/48 Condor Legion Bf-109E-3. Imperial German Air Service/Luftwaffe Group Build.

by John Healy on December 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

This is the tried and true Tamiya kit from 1996. I spotted it on a vendor’s table at the Butch O’Hare IPMS show in Illinois last month. For $15, I couldn’t pass it by. I figured it would be a worthy kit to finally use some of my [...]

1/48 Revell F/A-18E

by Mark P Hartig on December 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This model kit is a curious blend of really nice and rather awful. Fit in some areas was pretty bad, requiring a goodish amount of filler and sanding. The cockpit detail is very weak, hence closed canopy and the molding is somwhat soft. [...]
