This year seems it was a blur. With uncertainty with the pandemic here not here, masks no masks, economy was in disarray, gas sky high especially here in California. The year was cruising along but in April I received a note from the new [...]
Here is my favorite topic, unfortunately limited due to the handful of aircraft produced. The model plastic is nicely engraved and separated control surfaces are provided including slats. However, the model does not offer more details by [...]

A great kit. Went together without any issues. Appears to be a well researched and accurate kit.
Added some air to air missiles. I know, there is no evidence to support these missiles on the aircraft. I had some left over and thought [...]
