by John Healy on June 1, 2025 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

This is an original 1974 issue Otaki kit. Another $4 swap meet find that patiently waited 51 years to get built. Zero drama in assembly, accurate shapes, and sketchy details in the cockpit. I only added a set of Eduard seat belts as you [...]

1/72 Academy F-4J UK

by Alistair Gauld on June 1, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Another in the series of Phantom Builds. The Academy kit despite being a snap fit went together without any hassle. My only issue was completely self inflicted as I dropped it not long after the canopy was glued down and I thought I'd [...]

In 1966, at their third attempt, Ford managed to beat their bitter revivals Ferrari to win the Le Mans 24 hour sports car race, a story that doesn’t really need repeating here. However, the official results of the race are more the [...]
