Another nice kit by Hasegawa. Kit is out-of-the-box with USMC markings, made to accompany modern USAF and NAVY planes on my shelf. Parts fit fine, but there's not many of them, and there's very little choice of weapons included (2x Sidewinders, [...]

I completed this over Christmas break 2016, but have not been able to photograph it until now. I used the leftover two seat canopy found in the Italeri 1/48 F-18 to convert a Monogram 1/48 F-18 into a two seater. It is sad that Monogram never wo[...]

Finished a while ago, this kit had lots of extras thrown at it but one bit me on the proverbial! - The seamless intakes were a sod to get right & ended up with a gap which just would not stay filled at the intake lip - Not a product fault bu[...]
