Recently I’ve complete two world war 2 era Russian aircraft. A Zvezda PE-2 and a A.M. IL-2. The Zvezda kit is an awesome kit to build, perhaps one of the best kits on the market. The Accurate Miniatures kit wasn’t too bad either, [...]

by Tom Cleaver on April 12, 2020 · in News · 12 ≡

Richard Alexander of WNW has announced they will not be re-opening. WNW is over. This apparently has to do with a larger issue involving government subsidies to film production in "Wellywood" and Sir Peter Jackson's company [...]
