Trumpeter F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter 1/32

Hellcat, everybody loves it, everybody has one so... I got me one. I saw many examples of this extraordinary fighter plane and many with the fuselage open to see the interior and I was encouraged to do it this way. I decided to work on the [...]

It's here!! Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1

The beeg box from Squadron landed on the front porch here at Le Chateau du Chat an hour ago. Preliminary observation: I was right that it is based on the Great Wall Hobby kit. That's good news. Other than everything is big, nothing looks [...]

Was up at the LHS this afternoon and they had one of the new Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1 Devastator kits. Yes! Thirty years of "coming soon" has arrived! It's no longer vaporware. It's real. So how is it? It's like this: 20 years ago [...]

Hi all! Well I have completed 5 of the 6 Harrier AV8B II Plus cockpits for phase one, kit 6 just arrived so I have to go backwards and do this phase all over again so they are all on the same step. Build has been tedious, having to do [...]
