Revell/Monogram 1/48 P-61 Black Widow

Tamiya 1/48 scale Fairey Swordfish Mk. I

G.W.H. 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star
GWH's Shooting Star is a very nice kit. It featured finely recessed panel lines and is relatively simple to build. Some shape anomality was attributed to the tail unit. The front nose cover part requires sanding to fit with the rest of the [...]
