Modelsvit's P-51H Mustang

1/48 Fine Molds Mitsubishi Ki-15

Model was done OOB with the addition of Eduard seat belts. This kit is very well done but it is a shame that the excellent interior details supplied with the kit can not be seen because there is no open cockpit option. This model [...]

Last build of last year…first build of this year. Mengs 1/48 Me-410 heavy fighter.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10
