by John Healy on February 23, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is the latest, and greatest P-40 kit. The brand new Airfix P-40B! What's not to like about this one? I built it out of the box including using the excellent decals provided for Lt. Welch's Pearl Harbor a/c. I mixed the cockpit's [...]

Revell 1/48 Dornier Do 335

by George Henderson on February 21, 2017 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Next on the oddball list: This aircraft was captured by the Americans and turned over to the British. A nice kit that can be built as a single or two seater by virtue of inserts fitted over the spine. I had some fit issues here but nothing [...]

VnAF F-5A ‘Freedom Fighter’

by IAN JACKSON on February 19, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡
