    The Fiesler Storch by GPM

    The Fiesler Storch by GPM, 1/33 scale The new kit of the Fiesler Storch from GPM is in fact, I understand, a reworking of an older kit by master modeler Tadeusz Grzelczak, who drew the two B17 models, by Fly and GPM, respectively, that has been much discussed on this site. Among countless...

    Sopwith Triplane in 1/25 scale by Orlik

    Sopwith Triplane in 1/25 scale by Orlik The first thought upon opening the long-awaited Sopwith Triplane in 1/25 scale by Orlik was how very small the aircraft is (for a moment there I had the crazy thought that the publishers had got their scales wrong - this had to be 1/33, I thought!)...

    A comparison between Fly Models and Halinski P38-J models

    Liberator B-24D, Fly Model Nr 21

    I bought this kit on E-bay, Germany, from what since has become my regular supplier, a Polish gentleman (Slawomir Wojcik, Modelservice) operating out of Germany. The Liberator was one of the first plastic models I got as a kid; must have been already in the late 50s. Unfortunately it never...
