P-51K/Mustang Mk.IV ExhaustPublished: December 20, 2020 Quickboost is a company that specializes in drop-in resin replacement parts to enhance the appearance of your models.

Mirage F.1Published: November 11, 2020 I’ll be honest. I’ve never heard of HMH Publications or Duke Hawkings before I had the opportunity of reviewing the first book of this series (Sepecat Jaguar). But I am very glad to have been introduced to them. These books exude quality. The quality goes both on the content that is covered (i.e. level of detail) and the printing. The paper quality is super, with a satin finish. All… more |
