G.W.H. 1/48 F-15B "Baz" IDF

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

At some stage during their long service in the IDF, the F-15s showed heavy signs of weathering. I believe that now, the surviving airframes are immaculate if not almost entirely revised. GWHs 1/48 model is very good and was also revised [...]

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on August 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Although showing its age, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-4E model looks like the real aircraft when completed. It has many shortfalls but, the relatively low part number count allows the builder to get to the painting stage quickly. In this model, I [...]
