Great Wall Hobby (also referred to as GWH) model kits

G.W.H. 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star

GWH's Shooting Star is a very nice kit. It featured finely recessed panel lines and is relatively simple to build. Some shape anomality was attributed to the tail unit. The front nose cover part requires sanding to fit with the rest of the [...]

Devastator Floatplane

GWH's 1/48 TBD is a complex kit. The fit of parts is very good, and the detailing of panels and cockpit components is satisfactory. On the downside, the kit lacks a dolly. Moreover, there are many small, photoetched parts to add. The [...]

1/48 RNLAF T-33A (GWH4819)

Hi all, Here’s my rendition of a T-33A of the Royal Netherlands Airforce (RNLAF). First a bit of history of the T-bird in Dutch service … The T-33s became operational as from in 1953 with RNLAF mainly for flight training. The aircraft [...]

Focke-Wulf Fw 189 A-2

Great Wall Hobby's 1/48 Fliegende Auge (Flying Eye) is a challenging build. The kit is highly detailed and appears to have accurate dimensions. Yet, instructions lack essential information and subassemblies such as, the cockpit and engines [...]

A tale of two Tomcats

Those of you, that are following my work probably know, that F-14 is one of my favourite aircraft. Getting my hands on the GWH’s new kit a few years ago, I just had to build it, though my followers on Facebook and Instagram poll chose [...]

TBD-1 Devastator and the Year Ahead

I have decided to call the Great Wall TBD-1 Devastator done though there are a few little details to fix, like the PE pitot probes that decided to get eaten by the carpet monster at the last minute. Overall the kit is pretty good. Link to [...]

Review: GWH 1/48 F-14B Tomcat Review

T-33; Portuguese Air Force

In 1953, the first 15 T-33A planes arrived in Portugal, coming from the United States. They were placed at Base Aérea N° 2 (BA2), Ota, and integrated into Squadron 20 – equipped with F-84G Thunderjets – constituting the 'No [...]

GWH SU-35S Flanker E 1/48

Hello! This is my recent project, a GWH SU-35S Flanker-E, 1/48 scale. It is, undoubtedly, my most demanding and longest build since my return to the hobby. It certainly could have been a much easier and quick build, but after seeing [...]
