Hobbycraft 1/48 Piper J-3/L-4 Cub
As part of Neil's "D-Day Group Build", I thought I would add something a little out of the ordinary, a forgotten "combatant". Most people identify D-Day with big guns and bombers, fighters ruling the skies, and [...]

Seversky S2 Racer, Flown by Frank Fuller, 1939 Bendix Race
First, let me say that this is a classic example for the motto of my Club "I Know Where the Mistakes Are and I'm Not Going to Tell You Where They Are" second, this is the very old Hobbycraft 1/48 kit of the Seversky S2 Racer [...]

A Canadian trainer. This is a simple, basic kit, with decals for 4 different versions, none of which is a "Snowbird", Canada's aerial demonstration team. Hobbycraft does make the "Snowbird", just don't look for it [...]
