by René Martínez Sánchez on April 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A friend of mine gave me 2 of these kits because he was not going to build them, the fitting of the parts was ok, but the kit is poor on details. I decided to start a cool project by building both kits at the same time, one Out of the Box, [...]

by Boris Grgić on April 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This kit has been hiding in my stash for more than a year. Due to bad experiences with Revell kits I've always been pushing it aside...but then came that mandatory social distancing . Well, it's a nice surprize. The kit is well detailed [...]

Hi everyone! A week ago I decided to give this beast a go. Tom Cleaver warned me about the difficulty of the kit and guess what: he's spot-on right! The plastic texture could well be used for lunar surface simulation, there are tons of [...]

Part One: 1/32nd F2G Corsair

by Rodney J. Williams on April 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 5 ≡
