F-4E/F Phantom II Auxiliary Air IntakePublished: June 6, 2011 These come beautifully cast without flaws and are designed to be “drop-in” replacements for the kit parts. A slight amount of minor surgery is required in fitting them in place, but nothing an average modeler couldn’t accomplish. Many thanks to Aires for the review sample. Visit them at their website https://www.aires.cz/en/ for these and other… more |

P-39 Flaps and InsertsPublished: April 12, 2011 Another beautifully mastered set, nicely cast in light tan resin without warps or pinholes. These are exceptional in that they go a long way to enhance an already extremely nice model and require a minimum of surgery to install. For me, they earn the “most highly approved” designation. Many thanks to Quickboost and to IPMS/USA for the review sample. |

B-25 Mitchell in ActionPublished: April 12, 2011 New from Squadron/Signal Books USA is the B-25 Mitchell in Action by David Doyle. Very possibly the most significant twin engine bomber of WWII is beautifully showcased in this new “in action” series book. 72 pages with artwork by Don Greer, this publication contains more than 200 photos (80 of them in full color), most of them original period photographs. This aircraft is covered in… more |

F4U Corsair in ActionPublished: February 10, 2020 This, being the third release (all written by Jim Sullivan) of the “Corsair in Action” series, I was curious and pulled the previous releases for comparison purposes. Not surprisingly, the quality level became better with each book marketed. The first one (1029) consisted of 50 pages, the second one (1145) offered 58 pages and aside from front and rear covers and the center spread, there was… more |

RB-51 'Red Baron' Reno Racer - Part 2Published: January 9, 2011 At the risk of sounding like a “one string banjo”, Darn! These Fisher kits are really the car’s meow. I’ve lost track of how many of these outstanding kits from Paul I’ve had the pleasure to review, but this one is, as are all the others, an outstanding example of the pinnacle of Resin casting technology. The build is as simple as pie with the one piece wing, and a hollow-cast, nearly one… more |

Grumman EA-6B "Prowler" Part 2Published: January 4, 2011 This being the second Kinetic kit I’ve had the pleasure to build and review, I have found several similarities in the offerings. First, the instructions could use some tweaking, in that I found some misnumbered parts. It would be of major benefit to the builder to keep his reference material close at hand. Secondly, during construction I encountered what I felt was a major fit issue with the… more |

NEW FROM ALCLAD IIPublished: December 27, 2010 ALC306 Bottle White Primer & Microfiller ALC309 Bottle Black Primer & Microfiller Never resting on his laurels (or whatever else he might call them), Tony Hipp, inventor of Alclad II, does it yet again. As I have stated in several “how to” articles on this product, I couldn’t stress enough the subject of surface preparation prior to applying the metal finishes. If any… more |
