Photos by Magnus Fridsell Text by Martin Waligorski ”The Jug” Affectionately nicknamed Jug, the P-47 was one of the most famous fighter planes of the World War II.

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt in Detail

A review of the Fujimi Supermarine Spitfire Mark XIVc (and V-1 Flying Bomb)  by  Jeff Warshaw All those magic moments… For me, as a scale modeler, there are two moments in the process which are almost magical. The first is opening the box and seeing the kit for the first […]

The Last Draken

Modelling Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Frank)


text by Martin Waligorski photos by Peter Alsterberg For a change I must admit I have never built a car model before. My modelling interests have always been connected to flying machines, and then mostly to 1/72nd scale. However, from time to time these tedious detail and paint jobs on […]
