kits

Being looking around the net I have found a couple of MicroMir (МикроМир) 1/48 kits of the soviet UT-1 ( Яковлев УТ-1 ) training/aerobatic plane. All kits are of the same set of sprues basically. Also there is a PE set included. The differences are just decal markings and the PE sets ( depending...

Hi Guys, I'm not much of a modeller and until recently I have not spent much time at all in the last 20 years making models. When I was a teenager, like the rest of you I suspect, I had model planes all over the place, but my modelling got to a certain level and has been there ever since. I...

Anyone able to identify the models visible in this screen shot? It is from the hilarious 'Likely Lads' which Brits of a certain age will remember well. The episode was broadcast in 1974. The kits would need to have been available in 1973/4 at the latest. I'm confident about the...

Well another awesome tamiya Zero kit on the bench . These kits are full of office detail and worth picking up :) Cheers Brian

Hi all, Have been reading here for a year or so. As a kid I built my way through most of the aircraft section of the late seventies Airfix catalogue. Then 'grew out of it'. A few years ago casually looking in the hobby section of a local store came across the kits....it was an eye opener. I...
