2023 Builds
It's been awhile since I've posted anything but I thought I'd share this years builds:
1/72 Hasegawa F-16D Have Glass 148th FW Minnesota ANG
1/72 Hasegawa F-15EX Eglin AFB
1/72 Hobbyboss TA-7C
1/48 Tamiya F-16 ADF (the Block 30 kit with a [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262A1-1a

Another Devastator
Bill Koppos has already done an excellent review of the kit on this site, to which I have little to add. I totally agreed with all his points about the strengths and weaknesses of what I thought was essentially a very good kit.
