by Jim Harley on July 25, 2024 · in Show Reports · 27 ≡

Here are some highlights from the 2024 NATS…what a great show. As can be expected, there were some spectacular models on display, more like looking at works of art. The Vendor room was massive and full of all kinds of things I don’t [...]

This 1/48th scale F-5A Freedom Fighter release from Kinetic in 2012 (and later F-5B release) was a nice addition to the scale, as the type was underrepresented to date. Although not a quick build, with careful fitting and patience in [...]
