Not 1, But 2 Aviation Usk 1/72 Ki-10 Perrys
Aviation Usk was a short run maker in Usk, Nebraska. Their boxes were colorful and they always included a candy treat inside and a short note. Just like Rareplanes and other vacu-form makers they made kits of unusual subjects. I have no [...]
1/72 B6N2 Tenzan
1/72 Fujimi B6N2. This was on the shelf of doom for quite some time. I had started this kit years ago but put it away since I was having a hard time getting the forward cowl/fuselage to fit the way I wanted. I took it out of the box and [...]

Arma Yakovlev Yak-1b
I was so impressed with Arma’s FM-2 Wildcats that I ordered a couple of their Yak-1’s from Hannants. This is kit 70027, their “Expert Set” which contains photoetch and a mask set. The parts are of the highest quality with [...]
Harrier GR.3, 3 Sqn RAF, 1/72 Airfix
I built this model back in 2019, nearly two years ago.
The Harrier has been on my wish list for a very long time, and I finally bought one when Airfix released its new tool kits. I love the new Airfix releases, the designers really manage [...]
