Kinetic 1/48 Su 33 Flanker D
A big and complex kit. It has detailed panel line engravings and good fit of parts. There is one small snag to take this kit off the list of Kinetic's finest. Instructions are the most suggestive and misleading I ever came across. It is [...]
War Games...1/48 Grumman F4F-3A Wildcat, VMF-111 "Devil Dogs", USMC

Desert Messerschmitt 109s and yellowing decals
Aircraft models do not fly but, time does. During the 90s Hasegawa's Bf 109 variants at the 1/48th scale were popular among modelers. Some Messerschmitt models that I built then included 109s depicting aircraft serving in the North African [...]
