iModeler Review: Tamiya 1/72 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik
A few months ago, Tamiya released what is, most likely, the new standard for 1/48 IL-2 Shturmovik. The kit has thus been lauded for its engineering, beauty, and ease of assembly. There was also, as I remember, a bit of controversy [...]
The Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V
The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit".

Trumpeter 1/72 Sea Fury

1/72 J-8H Finback
I converted this from the Trumpeter kit. I added significant detail to the cockpit and landing gear while also correcting the ESM gear for this updated 'Finback'.
