Special Hobby 1/72 scale Twin Mustang F-82G
The finished model looks menacing in its gloss black night-fighter scheme.
-
AZ Models 1/144 scale Douglas DC-9
The finished model looks spot-on for a DC-9, and scales out very close to published dimensions.
-
Roden 1/32 scale Sopwith Triplane
I spent 29 hours on my triplane, and I am pleased with the model kit — except for the glaring lack of instrument decals.
-
Hasegawa 1/72 scale He 111Z “Zwilling”
Produced in very small numbers, the Zwilling – designed as a glider tug – has always attracted the attention of modelers who like building the big and the outrageous.
-
Hasegawa 1/144 scale Embraer 170
Hasegawa includes decals for Japanese domestic carrier J-Air. Embraer 170s operate in many colorful liveries, like Kenya Airways, Virgin Blue, and Egyptair Express. Expect lots of aftermarket decals.

Kinetic 1/48 scale EA-6B Prowler
Kinetic’s 1/48 scale Grumman Prowler features folded wings, a first for an Intruder or Prowler kit. Takes up less shelf space, too!
-
Airfix 1/72 scale Spitfire Mk.IA
The kit is an excellent value I can recommend wholeheartedly to all modelers.
-
Platz 1/144 scale Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat
Build two, they’re small! Platz delivers a pair of pint-sized but well-detailed Hellcats in this kit. The models include cockpit, wheel well, and engine detail that rivals some larger-scale Grummans.
-
Airfix 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1/3/4
Airfix captured the lines and look of the early Emil in an easy-to-build kit packed with options.
