Classic Airframes 1/48 SM.79 Sparviero

Out of the three models issues available in the 1/48th scale, Classic Airframes' is the most accurate representation of the Sparviero. However, it is a short run kit and presents a challenging build. Moreover, many details are missing and [...]

Review: Is this the best Jug? Mini Art 1/48 P-47D 25RE Review

Lockheed T-33A

This aircraft is not my usual choice for a build. However, I built it is because it was for a club competition - "Build a B@#%@#%". The name of the competition comes from the fact that everyone has to build an old and difficult [...]

Airfix 1/48 Avro Anson Mk.I

This really is a kit of opposites. The cockpit internals and the overall fit is beautiful but the fit of the nacelles leaves a little to be desired. Nothing a spot of filler and plasticard can't fix but it was a surprise after the ease of [...]

P-40 in the Battle of Milne Bay

This the third of six P-40s I built earlier this year for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. The seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

Kinetic 1/48 Su 33 Flanker D

A big and complex kit. It has detailed panel line engravings and good fit of parts. There is one small snag to take this kit off the list of Kinetic's finest. Instructions are the most suggestive and misleading I ever came across. It is [...]

War Games...1/48 Grumman F4F-3A Wildcat, VMF-111 "Devil Dogs", USMC

Next naval aviation subject finished by my dad. Took a second attempt to finish it, the first model didn´t make it to finish because my dad didn´t get along with Eduard´s complex and fragile landing gear. Built oob, painted with AK RC [...]
