Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2

by John Clark on December 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I had all kinds of trouble with the fit of this kit...probably self-inflicted. This is not my best build. There are all kinds of mistakes on it. I used the Pavla cockpit and nose gear well. The cockpit opening is too small and that [...]

Academy F-14A 1:48 (1988 tool)

by Matthew Fletcher on October 28, 2018 · in Aviation · 14 ≡
