Wingnut Wings 1/32 Pfalz D.XII
In a reversal of real-life 1918, Wingnut Wings has placed its 1/32 scale Pfalz D.XII in production ahead of the vaunted Fokker D.VII. But while modelers seem to desire the D.VII, Wingnut’s Pfalz does not play second fiddle to any other large-scale World War I airplane.

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.
