SCUD-B+MAZ-543; Revell 1/72
This is the soviet MAZ-543 transporting the legendary missile SCUD-B in the Iraq version. This is a re-boxed Toxso kit from 2014 but a really god one; not recemended for beginners in my opinion. The missile can be mounted to the launcher [...]
Hasegawa 1/72 SOC Seagull

Airfix Spitfire Mk. 1 1/72
One of the best things of coming back to this great hobby during the pandemic was coming across this website. I enjoy reading the articles and looking at all the images of these great builds. I really appreciate the positive and supportive [...]

Airfix 1/72 Shackleton MR.2
The 1/1 aircraft has a massive presence. The 1/72nd model is equally impressive. It is a very involved building thanks to the (unseen) interior, multi blade engines and of course, the large model size. the model design is very good but, [...]
