Airfix 1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.4 – 815 NAS Ark Royal 1958.
What a kit.
It all just fits together.

Hasegawa 1/48 AV-8B Harrier II Plus
The Harrier II Plus is not among Hasegawa's finest models. It has fit issues and sparse cockpit. Yet, thanks to the finely engraved panel lines and accurate dimensions it can be build into a descent representation of American development [...]
More D-Day stuff
Just finished some more items for my 1/48th D-Day display at our local library coming this June. A P-47D-25 kit 61090 and a GMC Fuel Truck kit 32579. Both kits are from Tamiya. Great detail and decals.
