Evening all,
I've finished off Aeroclub's 1/48th scale Avro Vulcan over the weekend - this has been my 'holy grail' of kits for as long as I can remember and I was finally able to get hold of one last year.
The kit is a beautifully [...]
Gotha 244B-2

RIAF Hurricane Mk IIc, India 1944
All the accolades for Arma Hobby’s Hurricane Mk IIC - their first venture into 1/48th scale - are totally justified as it’s one heck of a fine kit. Sure, there are a couple of blips but the incredibly detailed molding and well thought [...]
Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4
Promodeler's 1/48 Bf 110G has some fit and questionable dimensions issues especially in in the area of the engine nacelles. Nonetheless, it is a highly detailed model with a formidable presence in the display area.
