My French Navy Crusader arrived this morning and on first inspection seems to be much more finely tooled than the Cafereo/JWings version, which I suppose is hardly surprising given the years between the two releases.

Cockpit detail is a little bit limited, but that is hardly...

Just received from Hannants the F-Resin Plastic Vickers Viking and I'm comparing it with the mixed media Welsh model.

The F-Resin Plastic model is indeed plastic, short run rather rough in places, with large towers yet fine engraving on most parts. The undercarriage is short...

Hi All This is my unboxing of Micro Master 3D Printed hobby Parts NZ. Crusader II tank.

My copy was opened by customs for biosecurity inspection and resealed ....No damage Yay!

The C-2 Greyhound was presented very well by Darth :
- here in the 'Out of the Box' Review section :

- and there, with a superb assembly :

So, why a new post on the Greyhound ?
and from the same manufacturer Foxone ?
and in addition, in the 'Out of the box' section ?

Quite...

I don't yet have pictures to share, but I have started working on the new Roden Condor, and it is a real mixed bag so far. Surface details and texture are marvelous, but the cowlings are disastrous. The wings and wing-root to fuselage join have serious fit and filling issues....

I have just received my package from BPM:

1) Models come wrapped in plain paper (no ziplock), so better be careful when you unwrap them because small parts may spill out. 0.jpg
2) First impression could be bad for the faint hearted: there is a LOT of flash!
Looking at the...

I rarely do an out-of-the-box review but this is one case I felt I had to due to some issues.

LF Models, as most of you know, have been releasing decal sheets covering more exotic options of well-known types and I commend them for it. Among their latest releases are sheets for...

To continue the thread in the News (link:) here are some additional images about the Mitsubishi Ki-51 Sonia from ClearProp.
I remember that there are 2 kits, and a pair of transparent wings.

The decal sheet, as announced on the instructions, has some bonuses of badges of tail....

Well I finally got my hands on one of these. I am really pleased that this cost me less than £12 all the way from Canada.

This is not a run your slide rule over dimensions, it looks like an F35B

Out of the box there are various options, all buttoned or everything down and...

Hi, I'm away from my workbench but not from increasing the amount of stuff on my bookshelves...

I'd like to share some pics of Foxone's TA-4J, it's 3d printed, the shapes seems to be quite good and details are fine...

Seeing the Wurzburgh build by teddybeer I can report that the Brengun Natter launch tower can also be built, providing you abstain from strong drink and have lots of patience !

Essentially it breaks down into three sections, main tower, support structure and counterweight...

I picked this up from Hannants. Three pieces of quality card that makes a 2d or 3d setting for your models. So very simple.

Love it!

I have been aware of AFV's output for some time but have not taken the plunge until now. Whilst browsing the HLJ website I had a look at the F4U and specifically the photos of the box contents. I did not specifically want a folded-wings model but when I saw that the boxing...

Announced in the News section with the necessary informations about the WÜRZBURG-RIESE radar

Now, some pictures of what is in the box.

It's beautiful, but there is work ....
Fortunately, there is a complere notice, but it will require to be well studied.... :D

I recently found some 1/144 Aeronavale decals (Not Mark 1) on Eby. Both with and without the yellow outline. 7 sizes in all and even toned down as on the present day Rafales.

What's more, even the crossed red anchors as seen on helicopters in the Algerian War are included.

I...

I have become a fan of these little snap together kits, partly because of the subject choice - Fairey Battle anyone? - but also because they are actually very finely moulded despite their simplicity. The only drawback I have found it that the decals are rather limited.

The...

Coming from this order placed in Japan some time ago, and received during my confinement, the 3rd kit from the A&W brand, the Mitsubishi Ki-1.

Anigrand quality ?
A nearly perfect resin, very fine details, parts that could almost be fixed without glue. I said almost .... :P...

Tuesday I've received a parcel from Dameya's site, containing two each of the new U Star models (M-60 Patton MBT) and Dameya's 3D printed RISE ERA kit.

For those who, like me, already have models from the Dragon CanDo series this is the model to complete your Desert Storm tank...

It’s huge !
Look at the Preiser figurine next to it....
And yet it is 1/144...
But what is this ?

I am in France and I am confined.
Fortunately, I had not anticipated ... :lol: but I just received kits from the A&W brand that I had ordered in Japan, of which here is the first, the Kawasaki Ki-10.

I had never bought models of this brand, but it is a very good surprise:...

I'm still in France and I'm still confined... :D
I'm going to have to get used to it, it's Sunday every day .... :lol:

Here is the second kit from the A&W brand that I just received, the Kawasaki Ki-3 bomber.
A resin always as beautiful and free from vices.

You may have seen information about these figures in the news section. As I have a Revell corvette in the stash I decided to order two sets of these figures. Ordering was simple, communication was great. Delivery was fast and although the items are small they arrived well packed...

Most of us will be familiar with the Platz Mustang - even if you haven't had the pleasure of building one you will probably have seen photos of one of these little jems built up and in many cases looking 1:72 or larger (I discount my builds from this category!). That Eduard is...

This is a release of DXM decal for F-14 Tomcat in 1/144 scale. code 91-1112
Decal is printed by Cartograf and came with 12 possible versions (3 VF-1 wolfpacks F-14As, 3 VF-211 Checkmates F-14As and 3 VF-103 Jolly rogers F-14 Bs)

I choose one version of VF-211 and used in...
