‘POISONOUS’ TWIN-BOOM IN STYRENE
There has never been a decent, well-detailed 1/72 kit of the de Havilland Venom, until the recent FB.4 items from AccsGB. Here, we review the firm's 'Foreign Use' boxing, with Swiss Air Force markings.
NEW TROPICAL VAMPIRE FROM SPECIAL HOBBY
Having produced various 1/72 de Havilland Vampires since 2014, the firm has adapted the tooling yet again to offer the tropicalised Mk.9. It has splendid detail all round and a generous decal sheet carrying markings for five liveries.

LAND OF GREATER POLAND
Modellers with large-scale Mossies from either Revell or Tamiya wanting to replicate airframes flown by Polish crews during World War Two will find Model Makers’ well-designed package ideal.

ICM’s large-scale Tiger Moth is the recipient of Eduard’s resin wheel set, which provides one-piece items for the main undercarriage section, pre-cut painting masks, plus de Havilland badge decals in a choice of three colours.

ICM’s newly tooled 1/32 Tiger Moth has been well-received, but those seeking additional detail will find Eduard’s photo-etched steel fret a boon.
ALL STRAPPED IN
If there’s one aspect of a cockpit that is challenging to replicate via injection moulded styrene, it’s the seatbelts/harnesses.
BIG-BOOMED TWIN-JET
When Revell announced a 1/72 Sea Vixen it took many modellers by surprise, but this is a re-boxing of the flawed Dragon/Cyber-Hobby kit.
