Atlas Impala Mk 2 of the South African Air Force (Italeri 48th scale)
This was the first of my SAAF builds and I was very happy with the result. It's pretty much OOB, apart from a after market ejection seat.

Elco 80 – Part 2
At the end of last month I posted photos of Italeri's 1/35 PT 596 on its display stand, to show all the detail, as the drift of the project was to add crew and to place it in a dynamic seascape, and some of the detail would be lost to view [...]
