Oorah!

Today I'd like to share my 1/48th scale Eduard Yak 3 with the group. The kit is one of that company's older efforts, first appearing in 1998, but it's a well-done if occasionally inaccurate effort that does a credible job of representing [...]

Friedrichshafen FF33L – 1/32 scale

by Paul Higgins on October 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is my first venture into a resin model of a WW1 subject, and a floatplane into the bargain. The kit is from the Polish manufacturer Lukgraph, and is a refreshingly unusual subject, whatever the medium or scale. The kit was built for [...]
