Royal Air Force Museum London 2011

Some mixed picture from my visit.











Perhaps Revell shoud have employed Airfix´s mad riveter instead of the crazy trencher from Matchbox when they made their new B-17.

Special Hobby Seversky P-35 J-9 Swedish Defender


Special Hobby Seversky P-35 is good news for fans of both the U.S. Army Air Corps and the Swedish Air Force in 1/72 scale. While supporters of the quarter scale has been fortunate to have academy's nice kit, the 1/72 scale fans have not had the same luck and for years the only option has been MPM short run. 

This all new tool meet the current expectations for fine details and recessed lines. Besides three sprues of plastic parts there is also a few parts of resin and a small sheet of photo etch. I compared the parts against drawings of J-9 and they match perfectly. Finaly the beautiful decal sheet is really sweet icing on the cake and it gives you four choices of marking all in perfect colors and register. If the kit goes together as well as it looks I will give this kit top score!
