IAF

F-16A Plus Fighting Falcon (Plastic model)

Kit is cheap & basic. Updated cockpit & full external stores. Engraved panel lines. I did the Israeli Air Force with Microscale decals that broke into pieces so most of the decals were Hasegawa and some leftovers.

Rhein

Tiger I & Panther G VS M4A4E8 Shaman & M24 Chaffee `Rhine Breakthrough Strategy` (Set of 4) (Plastic model)

Not much detail can be found in 1/72 armors, but it's, in my opinion, a great starter kit for someone getting into armor modeling. I think they should include a winter painting guide as the event took place in winter.

2016/12/18 7:17:00

Rhein

Tiger I & Panther G VS M4A4E8 Shaman & M24 Chaffee `Rhine Breakthrough Strategy` (Set of 4) (Plastic model)

Hasegawa didn't capitalize on this product by including a cardboard or plastic terrain or background. The four armors are individual kits from different times thrown into a new packaging with a new sheet of painting/marking guides for two versions of each tank.

2016/12/18 7:14:00

Tiger I Middle Production (w/Full Interior) (Plastic model)

The engine still have missing parts.

2016/12/11 22:57:00

Akula

Russian Navy Akula class submarine (Plastic model)

Hobby Boss' nuclear-powered attack submarine is a very easy build. 10 parts including the stand base with title pre-printed. Full hull. The while stripe along the upper hull has to be painted on. The rest are decals. I cut the pegs off the upper hull to pose it as waterline.

2016/12/01 13:42:00

Udaloy

USSR Missile Destroyer Udaloy (Plastic model)

Pit-Road offers a nice anti-submarine destroyer addition to your small-scale Soviet Navy collection. All parts come in grey. The detailing is first rate. They molded super fine wirings and tubings to the surfaces of the structures. A BMP-2, MIR and Ka-27 are included. Decals for Udaloy and Vice-Admiral Kulakov. I replaced the plastic radars with PE.

2016/12/01 13:35:00

Night Hawk

F-117A Night Hawk (Plastic model)

A very uncomplicated and fun injection moulded display model for a very good price. Airframe consists of the main fuselage, two wings and two stabilizers. Options for open/closed undercarriage doors and canopy. Detailed landing gear with lights. Topside and underside infrareds. No ordnance. I replaced the cockpit with Aires (resin+PE).

2016/11/19 13:55:00

South Africa G6 Rhino (Plastic model)

an excellent kit, well detailed, very accurate

2016/11/08 21:01:00

FC-1

FC-1 Plot Type 1st / 3rd (Plastic model)

The kit is delicately detailed and an accurate representation of the craft. Engraved panel lines and rivets. Taxiing and in-flight options with open or closed canopy and undercarriage doors. Photoetch for ejection seat, canopy rear-view mirrors and exhaust nozzle. Waterslide decals too fragile. Paintings and markings for ordnance, prototype FC-1 and PAF JF-17.

2016/11/07 2:30:00

Kawasaki

Kawasaki T-4 J.A.S.D.F. (Plastic model)

The injection moulded display model is a weekender. Very simple. 2-piece left and right fuselage. Separate wings & horizontal stabilizers. Basic 2-seat cockpit with HUD. Engraved panel lines. Detailed wheel wells & landing gear. Landing gear lights. Waterslide decals for 22 JASDF test squadrons. 2 fuel tanks.

2016/10/31 6:31:00

Phantom II

F-4E Phantom II (Plastic model)

Old tool. Raised panel lines & rivets. Plain wheel wells. Body filling took a while. The camouflage took the longest time. Did the 40 Years Hellenic Air Force Phantoms 1974 - 2014 with Model Maker decals. Light grey decals on light grey are hard to see. No control sticks. Modified cockpit detailed with Eduard color etch. Super fun build.

2016/10/25 2:38:00

Lightning II

F-35A Lightning II (Plastic model)

If you want the zig-zag decals on a 1/72 F-35, this is it. The other manufacturers' models don't have them. Modern tool. No flash. Perfect fit. Engraved panel lines & rivets. Clever engineering. Top-bottom 2-piece airframe. Cockpit installed after airframe. I applied putty to seams in the airframe & stabilators, then detailed the cockpit, landing gear & front wheel bay with eduard color etch.

2016/10/18 2:22:00

Mikoyan-Gurevich

Mig-25 Foxbat (Plastic model)

Great price. Big size. Bigger than the box the model came in after assembly. Basic cockpit with pilot figure. Front to exhaust 2-piece fuselage. Putty & sanding required to remove seam lines. R-40T & R-40P missiles. Fun project. I changed the color scheme. The new kit from Hasegawa looks miles better.

2016/10/11 0:03:00

Irv

Lockheed Martin F-35C Lightning II (Plastic model)

Missing part GP-2. It is quite clear to see that part GP-2 is not on the sprue. These items come in a sealed plastic bag. The bag has never been opened. The lighting cover is most important to the completion of this model. I need to know how to obtain the part. [email protected].

2016/10/05 3:17:00

CAF

Blue Angels F/A-18A Hornet (Plastic model)

Very cheap. Clear parts in a separate bag and the rest in the same bag. Cleanup takes a while. Minimal flash. Ordnance included, but not in the instructions. I bought eduard color etch & Leading Edge 410 "Cougar" Squadron decals. Fun weekend project. I'm aware that the model isn't accurate, but the accurate one is expensive.

2016/10/04 5:45:00

CAF

F-104J/CF-104 Starfighter (JASDF/CANADA) (Plastic model)

Very cheap. Clear parts in a separate bag and the rest in the same bag. Cleanup takes a while. Minimal flash. Options to build 3 JASDF & 3 CAF variants with 2 sets of instructions and marking/painting guides. I bought eduard color etch and did No. 439 Squadron. Fun weekend project.

IJN Destroyer Shimakaze `Late type` (Plastic model)

A very good quality model. Parts fit is excellent, and I love how it comes molded in the different colors for decks, hull, props etc. There are many small parts and it is a high detail model. Great care and patience are required to build this model correctly. Not for beginners.

2016/09/28 23:33:00

1/72

Tornado ECR `Tigermeet 2011` (Plastic model)

Couldn't find the 1/72 version of this kit here so here it is. If you can find 1/72, get. You won't be disappointed. Don't compare Revell to Hasegawa. Some of the panel lines are shallow. Moving wings. Full payload. The decals are made in Italy. The 1/144 version would be much more simple than mine.

2016/09/15 23:47:00

Des Prince

Su-33 Flanker D (Plastic model)

Has to be the most detailed, accurate fitting kit I have built in over 50 years of building models. Kinetic have raised the bar for all the other model manufacturers in business today.
Keep it up Kinetic.

A08012

TSR.2MS Stratos 4 (Plastic model)

2 in 1 kit. Anime or actual. 2 sets of pilots and cockpits. Average fit. Lot of sanding and bit of putty. Crisply recessed lines. Not as deep as some of the cheaper Airfix kits. Flying stand. Thin decals. No need for softener. Open/closed canopy, landing gear & air brakes. Model is as long as the box. Quite big.

2016/08/27 1:51:00

ZV7241

Sukhoi Su-37 Fighter (Plastic model)

Outdated tooling requires skills & patient to make the kit presentable. No recessed (only raised) lines except around the two rudders. Control stick must be cut & installed with pilot or blocked by panel. Open/closed clear canopy bit oversized. No struts for wheel doors. Plain wheel wells. Decals for cockpit & exterior. Full payload.

2016/08/20 3:20:00

Ale Tauk

CMP C60S Holmes Breakdown Wrecker (Plastic model)

The only problem only the packaging box from manufacture that seems smallest than the model sprue. Hopefully there's no missing/broken parts because of it.

2016/08/18 19:49:00

dan

Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Type 21 (Plastic model)

Impossible price. Very simple kit. Very good recessed panel lines. Basic cockpit without decals. Good fit. Mine was heavily weathered.

Ryo

Kagero Class Aero Direct Education Ship Harekaze (Set of 2) (Plastic model)

Totally a bad move to include all 2 ship in same plastic bag. I cant sell the extra one because decal for both ships in same paper.

2016/07/29 5:45:00

JMSDF

JMSDF Defender DD-103 YUDACHI (Plastic model)

Pit-Road's JMSDF Destroyer kit comes with 1 ship, 2 decal sheets, 3 copters (Chinook, Cobra & Seahawk) & plenty of spare parts. The full interior of a copter hanger is well done. The same treatment is given to sister ship DD-106 which I reviewed.

2016/07/21 9:19:00

JMSDF

JMSDF Defense Destroyer DD-106 Samidare (Plastic model)

Pit-Road's release of the JMSDF Minesweeper & Destroyer is solid enough to keep small scale builders happy. The kit comes with 2 ships, 1 PE sheet, 1 decal sheet, 3 copters (Chinook, Cobra & Seahawk) & 1 photo booklet of the actual ship. The full interior of a copter hanger is a first.

2016/07/21 9:15:00

Tone

IJN Heavy Cruiser Tone 1944 (Plastic model)

It's an easy kit that can be put together without paints, glue & decals. Stickers included. Don't be fooled by easy. It's, I'd say, intermediate. What took me by surprise is the amount of detail & parts Fujimi put in the this modern tooling. Especially the funnel & superstructure. No photo etch. Aoshima, Dragon, Hasegawa, Hobby Boss, Pit-Road, Tamiya & Trumpeter, move over. Fujimi wins.

2016/07/13 12:17:00

113357

IJN Aircraft Carrier Taiho Based Aircraft Set (Kugisho Judy Liquid Cooler Type, Tenzan, Zero Fighter Type 52) (Plastic model)

Of all the 700th aircraft I've built, this one is easily the most realistic. Fujimi seems to be the only one who does plastic propellers & separate landing gear & canopies. Mr. Color call-outs. Nice decals.

2016/07/13 12:04:00

CGN

U.S.S.Long Beach CGN9 1980 (Plastic model)

Cruiser Guided Nuclear. The kit was brilliant. Only grip would be the slightly warped hull. 28 PE parts on a tiny sheet. Good decals. Some unused decals & plastic parts. Instructions were confusing, showing one version of the ship in assembly and another in marking/painting guide. I'd build it again.

2016/07/05 2:57:00

PA

American Battleship Arizona BB-39 (1941) (Plastic model)

The last PA-class battleship was a very simple build. No PE. Cheap. Could've been Hobby Boss' stepping stone to their upgraded toolings. The bridge is hallow, so is the aircraft crane. Upper & lower hulls warped. Stand included. Simple detail.

2016/07/05 2:45:00

Big Mo

USS Battleship Missouri (BB-63) (Plastic model)

Big Mo is definitely big. Bit of sanding & putty. Only decals were flags, but wouldn't come off backing so I used my own. No aircraft insignia decals. Boxart showed one color scheme for 194x, but web searches show a different one for the modernized version with a helipad, missiles & new guns. Easy & fun kit.

2016/07/05 2:28:00

Hawker Siddeley Harrier Gr1 (Plastic model)

Made some marking/decal mistakes. Not a bad kit. Cheap, easy & fun.

T-50 PAK-FA

Russian Air Force T-50 PAK-FA (Plastic model)

Near perfect kit except for being too big, vague marking guide, inaccurate camo guide (I used Revell's PDF as it looked closest to the actual photos) & shallow panel lines. If I were to build it again, I'd build Revell's.

2016/06/17 2:23:00

AOE-01

the United States Navy Support Ship AOE-01 Sacramento (Plastic model)

The kit is near perfect except for the warped upper & lower hulls after assembly which can be fixed. Boiling water or low heat. Also the fuelling cables are missing but you can use black electronic wires. The photo-etch was amazing. The safety nets should be open like the real ship.

2016/05/29 4:42:00

JG71

F-4F Phantom `JG71 last call` (Plastic model)

The payload isn't supposed to be installed, but I built them just for fun. Only the outboard external fuel tanks are required. Marking guide was good, but not painting guide. So google as usual.

2016/05/24 11:48:00

JG71

F-4F Phantom `JG71 last call` (Plastic model)

Super fun build. Bit of flash & mold lines. Seams, gaps & sink holes. Minimal putty & sanding. Crisp engraved lines & rivets. Landing gear & canopy weren't perfect. Ejection seats as complex as 1/48. Good cockpit. Good air intake, engine & exhaust. Quality decals.

To complete a naval shipyard, get this kit as well, in addition to the others I posted here. All ships are optional. In this kit are a large dock crane with rotating boom, naval buildings, a oil storage tank, seven pontoons for mooring ships, and a floating dock,

F-86F-40 Sabre `Blue Impulse Early Scheme` (Plastic model)

I don´t have any references of the real aircraft, but I dare to say its a very accurate model.
The model is beautifully made, there isn´t flash, the decals are crisp, and the instructions are easy to follow too.
The model shouldn´t present problems to people who already have built some of them.

Chiyoda

IJN Aircraft Carrier Chiyoda (Plastic model)

Forgot the waterslides. #11 is chiyoda read from right to left, should be on the back of hull near the top. The rear flag pole was made out of a part tree. Hull is 2 pieces = putty. The 6 masts/towers can be installed either upright or sideways.

2016/04/18 11:04:00

Chiyoda

IJN Aircraft Carrier Chiyoda (Plastic model)

Pit-Road dropped the ball on this kit. No lower deck. No deck camo decal. Aoshima's version has them for less. No aircraft on an aircraft carrier. Epic. High price. The painting guide had camo markings in the right size so I photocopied it a few times & cut out the colors so I could paint the deck in layers.

2016/04/18 6:54:00

Lexington

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Lexington (Plastic model)

Good: adequate accuracy, average fit, simple build, aircraft insignia decals, 16 planes (Wildcat, Devastator, Dauntless), 2 elevators, crane, detailed deck & island, low price. Bad: some putty required, some very fragile parts, questionable color schemes. In retrospect, glue elevators to deck 1st & deck to hull before gun turrets.

Option to build/paint/decal RAF 417 Tunisia (in my photo) or RAF 249 Ta Kali. Choice of closed or open canopy. 17 quality parts. Incredible detail. Minimal puttying & sanding. Cockpit molded into fuselage.

Nakajima Ki-44-II Hei Shoki (Toji) (Plastic model)

The Shoki deserved to be produced in more volume since B-29s were on the horizon.
By midwar the Ki 43 and A6M were obsolete and both produced by Nakajima to the end. Think of how many Ki 44s could have been made instead.

Also, with the Ki 61 coming to grief in the tropics, the reliable Ki 44 should have replaced the unreliable Hien except in Japan.
The Shoki was low maintenance campared to the Ki 61, Ki 84, J2M, and N1K.
All unrelable by comparison.

2016/03/10 5:03:00

Nakajima Ki-44-II Hei Shoki (Toji) (Plastic model)

Since full turn was almost 20 sec, most Japanese pilots disliked the Shoki vs the Hayabusa at 11 sec! But in any other nation it was a good turn rate. The P-51B could turn inside it but still didn't outclass it.
Some say it dove 513 mph.

I like the Ki 44-IIc with cannon. The famous 40mm low velocity short range recoiless cannon was unpopular with a range of just 150m, but it could put a 1.5m whole in a B-29! The high powered long range 20mm Ho-3 quartet was my favorite.

Merkava Mk.IV LIC (Plastic model)

Have had some issues with gaps on connection points. Such as rear panels/fenders where they attach to the main upper body.

Gun's base had a 90 degrees' wrong orientation, had to cut it.

There was a hole on the turret next to the commander's hatch after all parts were placed, had to fill it up.

Some hiccups here and there but overall a nice build.

USS San Antonio LPD-17 w/MV-22B (Plastic model)

Dragon upgraded engineering to 2014 for this kit. The deck with superstructure, upper hull, lower hull & stand are all one pieces. No puttying. A few photo etched parts. Open or closed side hatches for optional lifeboats & rear hatch. 1-piece helipad landing decal. 4 Boeing V-22 Osprey with 2 in-flight & 2 taxiing. Very good fit. I went overboard with weathering.

2016/02/08 0:39:00

Nautilus

Nuclear Submarine Nautilus (Plastic model)

The 1958 kit is of old or even original tooling & below average quality, compared to today's offerings. It's a bad fit. With the proper building & painting skills, it can be restored to its glory. I think the stand & sticker are new, so are the printed material & box. Even LIndberg, considered average, makes the same scale model with better quality.

Musashi

Musashi SP (Plastic model)

Fujimi's Musashi Battleship was an engrossing build. Kit was molded in gray plastic. Minimal mold lines. Fujimi tried hard to cram as much detail as possible into this small scale. Step 1 is wrong about the 4 outer gun turret holes. Don't drill those. Just sand the pegs off & glue them on the edges. Test-fit everything before gluing. No hull. It's waterline. The superstructure & side structures of gun turrets should be glued at the same time or they won't fit.

U.S.S. Conolly Abl Destroyer (Plastic model)

Dragon lived up to the reputation. The kit is extremely detailed. Photo-chopped box art. Google it for the colors. The helipad marking decals are unnecessarily complicated: layer line by line. A choice between closed or open storage room in front of the helicopter. No pegs & holes in some parts like the gallery. Some parts are too tiny. Armament is nicely represented. The hull needed puttying. My first ship kit.

A semi old tooling of a Revell 1/72 scale Eurofighter kit. Quite a bit of flash. Some bad fits. It'd take some time & putty to perfect the kit. Quality color-coded Hasegawa decals & Japanese instructions. Correct order of layering decals is of utmost importance. Follow the directions chart to apply decals from top color (orange) 1st to bottom color (white) last. Study the chart a couple times to visualize the results. Not my best work.

Big Boy Locomotive (Plastic model)

Revell's "Union Pacific Big Boy" (google for more info & pics) is one of the best locomotive kits I've built: very good detail, nice backhead/controls & interior, undercarriage, 4-8-8-4 wheels, coal car, track & stone-shaped stand. Fair price. Side-open package. Kit was made in USA. Easy-to-follow instructions printed in Poland. Quality waterslide decals printed in Italy. Overall, very good kit.

SR-71 Blackbird with Drone (Plastic model)

built oob as the trainer (B) variant, painted using acrylics and weathered using pastels. a lot of flash on the parts, and the clear canopy is very fragile. upper fuselage front half is a problem spot as you may need to add back in some detail after putting the large seam line between it and the back half of the upper fuselage. didn't bother to build the drone though. the decal sheet could also use better markings to identify which is which, but the decals go down nicely.
