Hawker Sea Hurricane, in 1/48, by Airfix.
An enjoyable build (for the most part) and one which I will be happy to do again, as I have the standard Hurricane in my stash. Commendable fit except for the interior cockpit framing interfering with the fuselage/ wing joint. Solved by [...]
Hobby Boss 1/48 scale F-80C Shooting Star (Kit #81725)
This was a very enjoyable kit and renewed my faith in HobbyBoss products.
