Classic Airframes 1/48 Blenheim Mk. IV
A challenging model.
Classic Airframes 1/48 J-2F 5 Duck

Review: Another Rescue from the Department of Lost: Classic Airframes S.79 "Sparviero"

Facing Challenges
I've heard that there is no such thing as a bad model kit. There are just good kits and challenging kits. I recently built a couple of challenging kits of historically notable aircraft--ICM 1/72 Ghost of Kyiv and Classic Airframes 1/48 [...]
Models I had to work at
The Spitfires I posted were modern well-detailed kits that fit together nicely. So I decided to post some of my more trying kits this time.
FM-2- This is the Sword kit. Thank god for spares boxes. This kit decided to fight me from the [...]
