Scarlet Kate and Little Joe
I built these two 1/72 P-51Bs to compare the Academy and Revell kits. I enjoyed both builds, although the Academy kit – finished as 'Scarlet Kate' – was perhaps the easiest of the two in terms of fit and ease of construction. I also [...]

Mustang Airfix 1/72
The Mustang is one of the most beautiful warbirds, especially in natural metal finish. The Airfix kit is rather good in shape, good fit, sufficient details for the scale, and cheap.
I build it from the box, and added a PJ Productions resin [...]
