 | Airfix is the brand of model I buy most. They are most definitly not the best, the detail does lack, and the panel lines are rasied, but they are simple to make, and are very affordable. Plus they have tons of 1/72nd scale british planes, which is what I collect most. When I get more advanced, I'll probably get into more expensive brands, but Airfix is fine for me now. |

 | Vickers-Armstrong Wellington B IIIBuild Status: Still in box. Purchase Information: Sale at a craft store. Mold Age: The 60s. Out of production. Review: Not so sure about this one. After dry fitting some pieces I don't know how this thing will turn out. There just doesn't seem to be enough support... putting it together is going to be hell. I'm going to save it for a while until I get more practice. |
