Tamiya 1/48 P-51 Mustang
This is the well known Tamiya P-51D Mustang.
Although not the latest Mustang kit, I think it’s still a great model. It went together without any fit problems and required no filler. The cockpit doesn’t have much detail, but little of [...]
Gabby Jug: 1/48th Hasegawa P-47D Thunderbolt
The 1/48th Hasegawa P-47D Thunderbolt kit release in 1996 reset the bar for the best Thunderbolt on the market... for a few years anyway. I wanted to have Gabby Gabreski's uniquely painted P-47 Thunderbolt in my collection for some time [...]
