Magnum! The Wild Weasels in Desert Storm, The Elimination of Iraq's Air DefencePublished: January 6, 2011 If you’re a military aviation geek like me, you can’t get enough of books like this.

P-47D Wheel BaysPublished: October 15, 2010 Designed for the reigning king of the 1/48 P-47’s, the exquisite offering from Tamiya. There’s no difference between the D and the M wing, so that means they it can be used on any Tamiya P-47 kit. About the toughest thing to do with a Tamiya P-47 is to get rid of the ejector pin marks. This set takes care of that with the landing gear doors and wheel bays. The castings are in Aires… more |

This set is sure to add to that for the already great out-of-the-box 1/72 Hasegawa A-1J kit. These are direct replacements for the kit parts and my sample was very crisp and bubble-free. They offer a simple solution to the often frustrating, sometimes futile attempt to drill-out exhausts in… more |

F-4E-F-G-J-S PHANTOM II EXAHUST NOZZLESPublished: October 15, 2010 While this set is designed for the Fujimi kit, it’s a direct drop in; you can easily use it on any of the Hasegawa offerings (which I’ll be using). It’s an excellent upgrade from the kit parts and requires minimal modeling effort to complete. It consists of a single fret of 2 PE afterburner flame rings and two sets of exhaust “feathers” (long), afterburner cans, and exhaust cones. My… more |
