Build Review: "At the Edge of the Universe - Strange Company’s Adventures. Episode 1: The first meeting" from Masterbox
Masterbox recently released a brand new series of far our out -space-age new figures that convey a galaxy far, far away. These four sets in 1/24th scale will suit many diorama and fantasy modellers and they blew Clayton's mind when he saw them, so who better to put them together and show you how they look completed in today's build review?

In-Boxed: 1/72nd scale MIG-21F from Modelsvit.
Modelsvit is a fairly new model company to us, so when one came past our desk intrepid Clayton put his hand up to build this - the Mig-21F in 72nd scale. He thought he would show you what is in the box of this before he got to make it into something special (as he always does). See what he thought about what was in the box in his review.

In-Boxed: Kittyhawk's 1/35th scale AH-6J/MH-6J Little Bird "Nightstalkers"
This new "Little Bird" 1/35th scale AH-6J/MH-6J Little Bird "Nightstalkers" model from Kittyhawk models is the perfect storm you might think - small, easy to produce for the model company, it has a large fan-base, and it is easy to display for the modeller, even at 35th scale... But what was in the box and how do the parts and options look? See what we thought in the first, "In-boxed" part of the review before we build it...
