Aircraft reviews
TRAVELER, CHEETAH, TIGER
The choice of GA aircraft for modellers is relatively slim in comparison to warplanes and airliners, but VFR Models is redressing the balance. Its 1/72 Grumman American AA-5 is reviewed here.
LEARNING IN AN ICON
ICM has adopted its approach of matching figures with an aircraft, courtesy of its new 1/32 Tiger Moth and trainee pilots. Find out more from our review.
PLUCKY POLE
Looking for an out-of-the ordinary aircraft build? Then why not plump for IBG Models' exquisite PZL.11c fighter? CHRIS CLIFFORD reviews the contents.
STOL SUPREMO
As re-releases go, the return of Special Hobby's excellent 1/72 Dornier Do 27 is most welcome. If you're unfamiliar with the kit, check out CHRIS CLIFFORD's review
WILD HORSE AGAINST THE COMMUNISTS
Italeri's 1/72 F-51D Mustang is back after an 11-year break, and with a generous new six-scheme decal sheet. CHRIS CLIFFORD reviews the contents.
GUN-TOTING SPOOK
Esci’s 1/72 Phantoms were among its better offerings, so it’s great to see the F-4E/F re-released in Italeri boxing.
DESERT TEMPEST
The first iteration of Special Hobby’s 1/72 Dassault Super Mystère/Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Sa’ar (tempest) has been re-released due to its popularity.
A DEVILISH RE-ISSUE
Airfix's 1/72 Hawker Demon, originally from 1968, is back for its fifth re-release. CHRIS CLIFFORD reviews the kit and discusses the available aftermarket improvements and decals.
MAGNIFICENT MITCHELL PACKAGE
As CHRIS CLIFFORD discovers, Eduard's Limited Edition reboxing of Hasegawa's 1/72 B-25J Mitchell offers fantastic value and variety.
THOROUGHBRED FACE-OFF
Revell’s reissued ‘Combat Set’ will inevitably draw comparisons with Airfix’s A50183 Dogfight Double, as both provide 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 262 and North American P-51 Mustang kits, though note the latter is a P-51B in this package.
