Aoshima 1/72 Kawanishi N1K1-Ja Shinden Type 11
A very nice, easy kit to build. However if your eyesight isn't good, masking the canopy with its shallow frame can be very difficult.

Matchbox 1/72 BAe Hawk

A Matchbox kit; basic and goes together well. I didn't want to do a regular colour, so I attempted the primer yellow.

A very easy and simple build from the classic Matchbox era (reboxed by Revell).

Classic Airfix; a very easy build, decals performed well but the location of part of the undercarriage is vague in the instructions.

It's a simple, easy build for a kit of its age. I had problems with the DecalFix, which somewhat spoiled the build for me.

A quick build if you don't put the pilot in, but issues can arise with weighing it down to stop it tail-sitting.

Hales 1/16 Triumph Tiger 100
Просмотров 632 месяца назад
The kit took a little while longer to build because of how humid it's been in the UK. I would have liked a decal for the speedometer and clear parts for the lights. I might consider looking for the 1/8 scale Revell offering; but don't pay silly prices for this kit.

    I built this kit in the 90's (a new kit at the time) and completely according to plan. I got a bargain 3 times the same kit (1 blue box and 2 black box). Blue box (like your kit) are older and have no or almost no flash. The black box came out later and have a lot of flash. Great build
