    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    Sure is Steve, the detail looks nice in the bag. For some reason there's a 'Quickboost' ACES ejection seat in the box as well. I must have got that in a second hand kit for another F-16, as I don't buy aftermarket stuff as a rule. I think the kit seat will be perfectly fine, the instructions...

    Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXe

    Airfix's little Mk.IX is a basic kit, but builds up easily and looks like a Spitfire on completion. It's a bit basic inside though, so I added new cockpit parts from Spitfire Mk.XIX spare parts. Apart from that, it was painted using Mr Color lacquers, Ammo acrylics, and Tamiya panel liners. The...
