Kinetic 1/48, 2 kits in 1 package. Build straight from the box using kit decals too. Opted for the French version. No particular issues except a fiddly nose wheel gear assembly and those photo etched arms for control surfaces which I kept [...]
1/48 Airfix Blenheim Mk.I Bomber

Eduard 1/48 Bf 109F-4 trop Hans Joachim Marseille’s 14th A/C
Despite the fact that Eduard’s kits usually get glowing reviews I can always find some nits to pick. Granted the level of surface detail in mostly fantastic, and some of the parts fit briliantly.
However, some of the parts breakdowns [...]
