I know Retrokit has cockpits for the Mirage F1 and 2000, as well as Damocles pods, Remora pods, and the triple launchers with missiles.
Rise Models has Mirage 2000 exhausts, Centerline fuel tanks for Mirage F.1, and also the triple launchers with the missiles that seem pretty...
If you have begun your 1/144 Bomber collection, or are considering to subscribe to get all the models (an offer available to French, Spanish, Italians and –recently- British 1/144 fans) here is my review.
here is an useful link: (french edition, with images of almost every...

I picked up an Atlas Il-4 many years ago from the late Russ Chmela. Russ had done some work on the diecast, making it look considerably better than the original, so whilst I was interested in this recent release, the Blenheim and Tu-2 were of far more interest. The former sadly...

I know where you are coming from. I have Kami's Westland-Hill Pterodactyl and I'm trying to decide where some struts start and stop. On the D.510 build, I almost threw out a small part thinking it was residue. Times like those, I wish Kami's clean-up was more like Anigrand or...
I have converted peters Anigrand Bonus Kit page from 'frontpage' to proper(ish) HTML.
In addition, I have started to extend the catalogue to include the kits released after the scope of peters page ended.
I am hoping that - people can help out, to push this over the line.

It happens, I stumbled acriss a very useful and well constructed document for a project underway at work.
Only to realise I'd written it myself two years ago.. No recollection of it at all...
BD99, I can answer your query about the quality of Anigrand castings as I have the said Daimler-Benz Projekt B from way back and a fair few newer models from the range. Categorically, the answer is yes, they have definitely improved, both in the level of detailing and the ease...
Hi all,
Below is an ongoing list of all the 1/144 Japanese Gasaphon aircraft kits that have been made.
There is a Japanese site (Military Museum) that also lists these kits with pictures here:
Clicking on the links on the left will take you to a seperate page with pictures and...

Here is a picture I found of some of the F-toys specials:

I thought it might be handy to have a listing of available aircraft by country.

Yes, we can officially remove all FE-Resin links. The website hung around for a number of years after the company's demise and the birth of from the ashes. As we know, some of the range made the transition across to Miniwing initially, including the Avia B-35 and the majority of...
I want to compile a list of all the resin aircraft manufacturers both current and old.
Please add any extra detail such as if still in business, what kits they produced if known, quality of kit, decals, etc.
Kami de koro koro (now Piccolo Model Factory) have a seperate listing...

On reflection, I really do not think my is an Eiriksson...and prefer to return to my original belief that it was a product of someone who once worked for Corgi.
That said, I have to say that the Eiriksson stuff is very attractive.
Here is a list of all the Fairy aircraft kits that are known.
1. Romania Air Force PZL.23 Karas
2. Japanese army Kokusai Ki-76

I'm trying to build up my collection of unmade Welsh Models RAF post war kits but there are a few that I don't know anything about. This means I can't search for them to obtain.
Does anyone know of a full listing, or know which kits were allocated the following numbers?

Another item on the bucket list ... build some Misteln! Lovely seeing this one's evolution. :D
As already written somewhere else, I reanimated a started model of the Revell Tornado kit after some years. Those kits are cheap and readily available, so no need to completely tear it apart. Besides, they are very good kits. Only things I could imagine an improvement are the...
So I wanted to have an easy kit inbetween to relax a little. A kit where the decals wouldn't crumble, the parts would fit more or less, and I wouldn't have to build anything from scratch. My choice was from Revell.
Of course, the cover artwork shows the Canadian CF-188A in its...
After a long Weekend, deep in Bavaria, I finally finished the Shaanxi Y-8Q

Original:
In the 1960s, the Chinese bought the Antonov An-12 and manufactured them under license. After the Sino-Soviet split, this type was further developed and marketed as the Shaanxi...
So I saw a three-piece of the Revell Micro Wings series (formerly Revell Mini Series )floating around on eBay with nobody willing to bid... I dedided to give it a shot just to have some cheap kits to try some stuff on that I could easily bin rather than ruining a better model....

I'm sure you've probably got this on your 'to do' list but don't forget the ejection chutes unfer the wing aren't staggered as depicted by Revell.
Sweet got them spot on.

ML-KNIL Martin 139WH M585 was taken over in Australia by USAAC as a freighter, based at Townsville.
Given temporary USAAC serial 42-68358, the nose art reflects the US crews' opinion of the veteran bomber.

On to my next build, Platz's excellent A-4 kit to be finished in USMC markings. I've build a few of these kits at this point and thought this time I'd go all out with the aftermarket sets. I'll be using the following on this build, hopefully I can do it justice:

Many thanks all.
The bombs are from a Pit Road weapons set. They look a bit nicer than those you get in the Platz weapons set. I grafted the fuses on from some Platz Mk82s.
The decals are from the Platz weapons set. They are printed by Cartograf, so yeah, they're superb. I'll...
Encouraged by Catherder's build of this model in the Group build 20 forum I have decided to finally build a He 111 as well.
It will be my first He 111 which really reflects the lack of good models available up to now rather than any dislike for the plane. In fact I quite like...

I recall the balloon-cutter parts from the Ju88 build and wondered whether you'd kept a supply of these. Given the differences in size and layout, you've done a wonderful job adapting them for the He111. And that finish is great! Loving that weathering, particularly around the...
Another shelf of doom project finished off tonight. The LS F-4E which I built OOB but I opted to model a wraparound SEA camo machine by using some spares box low viz stars and bars. I don't think they're 100% accurate but finding the exact type in 1/144 is almost impossible....

That is a lovely bit of modelling, thanks for showing us.
I am setting this one up to walk you trough my main modeling interest, Tomcats in multiple forms and schemes in 144 scale. After time I will also go into detail on the changes and quirks needing to be adressed on this model.
So far around 20 of them are in my closet...
I've built a model! I did it. My first in 2023 (by this stage in 2022 I had made 8) and I started it deep in the recesses of 2022 so it only semi-counts but I made it. I won't drone on about the reasons, we all come here to escape those...

Another stunner Angus! I confess I too wouldn't have noticed the shape issues hadn't you pointed them out. And thanks for all the info, about the kit and about the backstory which, surprisingly, I was unaware of and found fascinating.
Last of my shelf of doom completions.... Roden's nice AC-47 Spooky Gunship. From what I remember (it was started about 3 years ago!) it was a nice kit to put together, the only problems being the decals which were horrendous! I think most Roden kits suffer from this...

Very nice! I am impressed by the brush paintjob, a very neat finish!
