Most model
companies are at a juxtaposition with their kits – an affordable model that
sells well or a super detailed kit that sells a lot less but is technically brilliant?

special “Brassin” range of first class
resin additions to theirs and other companies kits. After first looking at this aircraft's landing gear today Gary Wickham reviews

really it is half of the story isn’t it – even I get sick of building Panzers
after a while – but so many of us are
caught up in Grey and Gelb that we do not know how to model the olive drab
