1:48th scale modelling

Vought F7U-3 Cutlass, VX-4

Hi imodelers, This is my second model on this site, but realized before the Demon. As you can see, I am very enthusiast about US Navy aircrafts, especially during the 50s and 60s. The kit is the horrible Hobby Craft kit. I added a cockpit [...]

Review: Airfix Spitfire FR Mk XIV Review

This is Part 1 of a review of the latest Airfix Spitfire FR MkXIV kit in 1/48 scale. This review is based on 4 kits that I purchased from both Airfix and Hannants Hobbies. [...]

Review: It’s here!

Just picked up the new Airfix Spitfire FR XIVE at the LHS. Looking through it, this is the Spitfire XIV we've always wanted. Accurate shape, accurate dimensions. Good detail. Note in the photo of the sprues that the wing comes full-span, [...]
