First Look
Kit Review

 Revell 1:32nd scale He 162
'
Eleventh hour Wonder Weapon'

Nice, basic kit that builds into a pleasing model straight out of the box.


AIRFIX MK IX IS INCREDIBLE! FANTASTIC!! ULTIMATE LATE MARK SPIT IN THIS SCALE!!!!! IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, not really, but it does at least get a few of the basics RIGHT. It also gets some of them WRONG and this is where things start to go pear shaped! So close and yet so far. For further info see Pacific Spitfires


Trumpeter 1:32nd Me 262 kit coming soon!

Lutz gives the boys at Trumpeter a hearty slap on the back, "is good yah,.....in zer 262 vee ruled zer skies until zer final victory!"
