Tamiya 1/32 scale P-51D Mustang
In keeping with the standard set by previous 1/32 scale model kits, Tamiya’s Mustang includes a detailed Packard Merlin engine with magnets to align scale thin cowl covers.

Eduard 1/72 scale Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat
Eduard’s 1/72 scale kit of the Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat is a fine representation of the classic World War II fighter. Not as complicated as Cyber-hobby’s kit, Eduard’s Hellcat has great detail where it can be seen.

Kinetic 1/48 scale S-2E/S-2G Tracker
I would recommend this model kit to intermediate modelers who think they can handle the complex masking required for painting.

Aoshima 1/24 scale Lamborghini Countach LP400
If you’ve built a few model kits, you should have no problems at all turning out a showroom Lamborghini.

Trumpeter 1/32 scale A-4E Skyhawk
This model kit includes detail in a lot of places you won’t see without picking it up, including landing-gear bays, speed-brake wells, and avionics compartments.

HobbyBoss U.S. M3A1 “White Scout Car”
It was great to build an up-to-date model kit of this interesting U.S. Army vehicle.

Fujimi Zuikaku, 1944
This model kit’s features, such as the tandem rudders, four screws, and exposed boat deck structure at the stern, as well as the air wing, produce a beautifully detailed model.

HobbyBoss 1/72 scale Kamov Ka-29 “Helix-B”
This model kit is made for modelers of intermediate or better skills — beginners may find the instructions and design do not provide sufficient guidance.

HobbyBoss 1/72 scale F9F-2 Panther
This model kit is well molded with finely recessed panel detail and not a lot of recessed rivets.
