The Ryan ST was a trainer used in the early 1940’s. The sleek airframe and Menasco inline engine made for a pretty hot little ship.

You can build either a U.S. Army Air Force PT-20, or a Dutch STM-2 on floats or one of two Australian STM-2’s from this kit.

I received the package in excellent condition. It was in a nice sturdy box surrounded by enough tissue paper to use for the next three holidays. The actual model box is another sturdy package with all the parts again wrapped in tissue for protection. Each part was either enclosed in a zip lock plastic bag or wrapped in tissue. I found no loose, broken or damaged items. I took inventory and everything was accounted for.

Danger, Danger Will Robinson… Moebius Models has come to the rescue of all those living in our past and loving Lost in Space. Their latest release, in beautiful 1/6 scale, is the original bubble headed booby, the B-9 Robot which played such a huge parts in the series. The robot itself was played by Bob May and voiced by Dick Tufeld. If you are my age, almost everyone I know remembers at least one of the robot’s lines. The B-9 Robot may be one of the two most famous robots in TV and movies, along with Robbie.

Let’s dive in and look at the kit. The basic parts for the kit are done in a medium-soft gray plastic, and are comprised of seven sprues and four torso parts. Two clear sprues are also included, along with a small photoetch fret and a decal sheet. Last, there are eight gray vinyl parts for the arms and rubber portions of the legs. The kit’s molding is very nice, and there is a nice instruction sheet included with it.

This F4U-4 Corsair cockpit set is packaged in the typical Aires style, coming in a sturdy plastic package with foam backing, along with instructions tucked in between the cardboard back and plastic. My first impression was of how crisp the detail is on the cockpit sidewalls and bulkheads. Also included is a photo etch fret and colored instruments on clear plastic. Mold release agent is non-existent on the parts; however, I still recommend washing the resin before use.
