British Airborne Universal Carrier and WelbikePublished:
This is a new version of many Riich Universal Carrier’s and is the Airborne Version. The Universal carrier was changed to reduce its weight to enable it to be carrier in the Hamilcar Glider. This included removal and reduction of the armor plate and removal of all unnecessary equipment. I had built the Tamiya Universal carrier many moons ago and I thought that was a great version but this excels in every area and now I must go and buy the other version of the Universal carrier released by rich. The kit contains

T-33APublished:
This is my first Great Wall Hobby kits and I was very curious to see if they are as good as I have read.

Bae Hawk 100 Series Pitot TubePublished:
The highly detailed all metal Pitot tube to replace any 1/32 Hawk 100 Kit part. I had the Kinetic Kit no 3206 in the stash so used it on that kit. The Assembly is quick and easy. The final part once the plastic piece is replaced with the metal detail part looks so much better. I would recommend this for any 1/32 Hawk kit you may have in your stash. Thanks go to Master Model for providing this super figure to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it for them |

Flying Wings and Radical ThingsPublished:
When I was offered the opportunity to review this book I was so excited as I have always been fascinated by John K. "Jack" Northrop and his designs. The book arrived and I was immediately impressive with its size, quality and content! It was a joy just to have and flick thro as the pictures and drawings are fantastic. The book explores the whole history of the company and the may designs both paper and actually produced aircraft. The book is writing in a way that it draws you in and without being to technical gives you a great overview of the aircraft and the company’s ups and downs. I was both entertained and taught a lot while reading the book. I cannot recommend this book enough; I could not put it down and finished the whole book in under a week! The… more |

RAF Fighter Pilot (Modern)Published:
The detail quality is great, there minimal flash or other imperfections. The parts once removed from the mold base are ready to assembly. The Assembly is quick and easy. The final part is painted and I did my best but I am not a very good figure painter and did not do this great figure justice. This is the first PJ Productions product I have worked with and I was very impressed with it. I am really looking forward to buying more of this great quality figures. Thanks go to PJ Productions for providing this super figure to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it for them. |
