Panzer-Regiment 7 Smolensk 1941Published: February 3, 2020 Dragon had just added this Panzer Division set to their already large selection of plastic figure sets. The features of these figures are by far some of the best work I have seen in plastic miniatures. The facial features aren’t as soft like their competitive manufacturers have in this price range, and by far Dragon has some of the best detail, even when compared to some of the higher priced… more |

Eastern Region Peasants, WWII EraPublished: August 17, 2012 Master Box just keeps turning out these very unique kits made exclusively for building dioramas and/or vignettes. They come out with the most peculiar subjects that will add that finishing touch to a diorama, or base a diorama around, and then you wonder how we ever got along without these kits. This time, they have come out with the Eastern Region Peasants in the WWII era. When I opened the… more |

A-4E/F Skyhawk Electronic BaysPublished: August 17, 2012 Aires’ new design, which enhances the Electronic Bays, is easily a step up from Trumpeter’s bays. Aires found a weak spot in this area of the A-4 and designed more realistically detailed bays, as you can see in the comparison picture of just how much more detailed the Aires bays look. This kit is a definite upgrade which can be easily detected by anyone admiring your model. The kit… more |

A-4E/F Skyhawk Cockpit SetPublished: August 17, 2012 Aires has developed a highly detailed cockpit for the Trumpeter 1/32 A-4 Skyhawk. This set includes twenty highly detailed grey resin parts and one clear resin part, plus a photo etched sprue which includes the seat belts, rear views mirrors, and other small details to add to the cockpit. Not unlike their other cockpit kits, the fit of the cockpit tub is pretty much on the money, but… more |

U.S. Special Forces Vehicle Comms SetPublished: August 3, 2012 Pro Art Models has another new set of enhancements, and this time it’s a vehicle communications package for those of you who are into super-detailing the newer types of vehicles in the U.S. Special Forces genre. This set comes with 18 pieces of high quality light tan resin which is detailed to the max. I have yet to find any bubbles within the resin that are so often found in lesser quality… more |

A-4 Skyhawk AntennasPublished: August 1, 2012 As mentioned in a previous review, Trumpeter’s new kit of the 1/32 A-4 Skyhawk is one of the better kits that Trumpeter has recently come out with, and what Quickboost did for the Air Scoops of Trumpeter’s A-4 kit is what Quickboost also did for the upgrade of the antennas for the A-4 kit. Quickboost’s antennas kit consists of five different types of antennas in a light grey resin and… more |

A-4 Skyhawk Air ScoopsPublished: August 1, 2012 Trumpeter’s new kit of the 1/32 A-4 Skyhawk is one of the better kits that Trumpeter has recently come out with. However, as with all kits from all the makers of fine hobby kits, there is always room for improvement. In this case Quickboost has come out with an upgrade for Trumpeter’s air scoops. Quickboost’s kit consists of three different types of scoops and one set of pitot tubes in… more |

Modern Civilian and Military BackpacksPublished: May 20, 2012 Pro Art Models has come up with another idea for filling a simple niche with respect for modelers who build dioramas or need items to use as stowage on military and/or civilian models. This time Pro Art Models have put together 1/35 scale resin backpacks for military and civilian use. The detail is so precise that you almost can’t wait to paint them just to see how real they’re going to look.… more |

F/A-18E Hornet SeatbeltsPublished: April 9, 2012 Eduard has fired up another set of seatbelts to fit in with their PE Interior set for the 1/32 F/A-18E. Aside from their beautiful and accurate seatbelts, Eduard has also included lots of stuff for the enhancement of the seat for this kit. It has colored “padding” which fits to the seat bottom and back. There are also other small items that can be added to the seat for detail that will make… more |

F/A-18E Interior S.A. SetPublished: April 8, 2012 Eduard has come out with a smaller version of their interior set for the F/A-18E. It’s a full self-adhesive set, with one fret containing the same items as in the larger interior set (#32688) for the same aircraft. This set is designed for those who are only interested in just covering the instrument panel and side consoles. There are two other items included on the fret, one of which is for… more |
