B43-1 Nuclear Weapon w/SC43-3/6 Tail AssemblyPublished: September 2, 2019 Serving in the U.S. Navy in the late 1980’s, these were the weapons that I could “neither confirm nor deny” were present on my aircraft carriers.

Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka K1 KAI Model 43 "Two Seats"Published: March 27, 2019 If you are looking for a rather unique kit to add to your late-WWII collection of 1/72 scale Axis aircraft, Brengun has come through with a trainer variant of the Ohka rocket plane. The relatively small parts count makes this a quick build, but some experience with small photoetched parts will be beneficial. Modelers with some experience with small parts and working with plastic to improve the… more |
