Academy 1/48 F-22
Academy’s F-22 remains a simple build and an attractive model.
HKM 1/48 Lancaster
HK’s new Lancaster is worth the effort: for the most part it goes together well and the exterior detail in particular is very nice.
Meng 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet
Meng’s new 1/48 Super Hornet is a surprising gem of a kit. It might not look like much at first glance, but it fits well and is a delight to build.
Tamiya 1/48 A-1J Skyraider
Everything you expect from Tamiya’s classic 1/48 planes: straightforward build and good fit. Tamiya also give you enough stores to represent a range of Vietnam-era loadouts.
Eduard 1/48 Bf 109G-2
A delightful little kit: if you fancy a 1/48 Bf 109 you can’t go wrong with this one. Wide range of colourful schemes, plenty of detail, but also a simple and quick build.
Airfix 1/48 Sea Hurricane Mk.Ib
Airfix’s 1/48 Hurricane is a decent kit with plenty of options.
GWH 1/48 F-15I
Israel’s custom Strike Eagle makes a colourful addition to the family. The GWH kit looks the part and, oddly, went together far better than their -E did.
Accurate Minatures 1/48 SDB Dauntless build review
“Accurate Minatures.” They made no promises about anything but accuracy, and for good reason.
Trumpeter 1/48 C-47 build review (Swissair DC-3)
An imposing kit of an important aircraft, Trumpeter’s C-47 is lovely and frustrating in equal measure.
