There's build review of a test shot on Key Aero, and it certainly looks very good indeed. Still a tad pricey though, but then, so is everything these days.
Airfix are now selling the Buccaneer kits for £75 !

What's that, about 3 pints worth today?

Heck, back around 30 years ago, you could buy a real Bucc for not much more !
I paid £44 for mine inc a 10% pre order discount !

So that's a rather cheeky price increase by Airfix !

Atlantis Model Company additional planned 2025 releases. The C-141A kit looks especially interesting; I got to ride around in those things a few times.

You beat me to the post. I remember making the viking ship when I was very young. The pogo on my wishlist. I always liked the SAAB design.

I am pretty sure I have an unbuilt Pogo. I sure thought the Draken was a Lindberg kit; they say it was Adams and I think usually those were bought by Revell. I guess the Viking ship was Aurora? Yes, I see in the Aurora catalog it was kit number 320, with the same box art. Of course SMER reissued some of the Aurora WW1 kits and I have a few of those. The F-94 was Revell and I have both one of that type and a Lindberg one, which is similar but not identical.
When I was still doing 1.72 I wanted one of those AH-56s pretty badly. Now that I've switched to 1/48, it doesn't seem I want it so much.
I did a pretty extensive walkaround of the example at Ft Campbell, KY.

Release the Draken!!

Retractable gear on a chopper like that seems to be a bad idea. If the gear gets stuck up and you lose the chopper, blades hit the ground, a mess.
In fact the original AH-1 prototype had a retractable skid but fortunately they did away with that very early. What were they thinking? How much drag do you get off that skid?

Cool.

Atlantis Model Company has been buying kit collections and is now selling older kits. This is one of them they have for $12.99. I do not think I have ever heard of a Mitsubishi Ki-51. Looks like a big Zero.

The Ki-51 was an IJAAF light/dive bomber used extensively in the early stages of WW2 (Malaya, Burma, China). Towards the end of the war, many were employed in kamikaze attacks.
Maybe the name "Sonia" will help you remember?
BTW there was a model made in Ukraine - was this a copy of the Hase model or not?
