At first we
saw the new 1/32nd scale Revell Spitfire
Mk.IIa coming out and though “new money for old rope” but the kit has many
surprised at the quality and features of this kit. Int he spirit of “a build is
the best review” our man from Belgium François Laloux built this lovely Revell
Spitfire Mk.IIa in to show you just how she goes together.

Gary looks at just what has changed in the re-tooled GWH F-15 in 48th scale in this side-by-side comparison
Gary had more than just started his new Great Wall Hobby F-15 in 48th scale (he was hinting at a Japanese Aggressor scheme, who knows?) He was keen to get it done when hoots and hollers fro the online community made GWH re-tool several key parts of this kit (it was previously reviewed as near fault-less) - anyway before he re-commenced with the build Gary was kind enough to tell us what has changed in the kit.

magazine – called Aces High and
Edited by TMN favourite Daniel Zamarbide be a contender? Let’s have a look in
our review.
