Vickers VanguardPublished: October 10, 2015 Airfix originally released this kit back in 1962 and I remember building this as a kid. The re-releases has a new box and Decal sheet but the model its self is un-changed from the kit 50 years ago. Some will find the kit un-refined by today’s standards but to many it’s a classic and should be considered as one. In the box is:

St. Chamond Late Type French Heavy TankPublished: October 7, 2015 This is the first Takom kit I have built, and I must say I was most impressed once I opened the box and got into the build. In the box is:

RAF and Royal Navy F-4 Phantom, FG.1, FGR.2 & F-4Published: September 3, 2015 I have several of the Modeler’s Datafiles and they are great reference books so I was looking forward to this one on the British Phantoms.
