by Chuck A. Villanueva on November 23, 2019 · in Reviews · 19 ≡

With the new ICM new mold B-26B now in our hot little hands. Though overshadowed by the P-38 released about the same time. Still it was an anticipated and long awaited release that a lot of WWII model builders have waited for. I built [...]

Dora Wings 1/48 Bf 109 V4 Prototype

by John Clark on November 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is my best guess at what this plane looked like. Opinions vary on this plane. Is it V3 or V4? Is the color silver paint, natural metal, natural metal with a tinted clear coat, light grey, or RLM 02? So, I just chose what I liked. [...]
