Airfix has a range of models in their range but from a personal level, their take of the GR9 Harrier is one of their better efforts.
The kit is quite small, however, there is plenty of detail and options provided by this smart kit from Airfix.
Hobby Boss USS Kearsarge LHD-3 – Build review and photos of the Hobby Boss USS Kearsarge LHD-3 model kit in 1/700 scale displayed at sea complete with amphibious vehicles and two submarine escorts
Hobby Boss makes a decent kit. This one of the USS Hopper in 1/700 was no exception. Quality-wise the plastic that the kit was made from was very good. The scale is not that big. At 1/700 this model of the USS Hopper was certainly a big test for the eyes, while a steady hand is needed too. Building the model presents very few issues. That said there are some…
If the Spitfire is the model makers go to in terms of WWII then the Airfix BAe Sea Harrier FA2 is the post-war go to.
This iconic British jet which is sadly no longer in service is certainly one of the more interesting planes to look at.
Airfix Harrier GR9 Gift Set 1/72 is one of the companies larger gift sets and comes with everything you need to complete the build.
Within the Airfix Harrier GR9 Gift Set 1/72, you get two brushes, a set of paints, glue and also the model.
Zvezda Petr Velikiy Russian Warship is a superb quality model. Even at 1/700 scale, it makes up into a nice size ship.
Having never tackled a model by Zvezda I was worried about what may arrive when it was shipped to me. Well, I need not have been. The mouldings were crisp while very little work was needed to clean up the parts.
Airfix 1/72 Spitfire is, of course, a very simple model that requires only the basic of skills. The thing is what is there not love about this model.
When you think about the Battle of Britain you think about the Spitfire. While there are many other companies who make this model in this scale, Airfix does a grand job.
Italeri produces some fantastic model kits and their 1:48 scale Lockheed F-117A Stealth Nighthawk is a perfect example of that.
As models go this is a very simple build while challenging in it’s own right. In terms of size, the kit once complete is a decent size model.
Italeri EA 18G Growler as kits go is certainly something I would recommend to other model plane builders.
The model its self is made from good quality plastic with plenty of detail. While it is not supplied with figures this is not a major problem as they can be added.
