I think as modellers we all have an affection for certain kits from our past or ones that just give us a feeling of comfort an familiarity. For me, this is true with the 1/48 Hasegawa range of Spitfire’s. I just love them! A couple of months ago, I came across this Hasegawa Spitfire in …
Hello there! Years ago I built Trumpeter’s 1/35 E-100 Jagdpanzer and to be honest, I was never really happy with it. Last December, I was at a loose end in the studio and wanted a quick turnaround project to keep me occupied over the Christmas holidays. I happened upon this older build and wondered if …
Hello there! Just before Christmas of last year I had an itch I needed to scratch-I had some reference photos on my phone of one of coolest paint schemes I have seen in a long time, the USAF’s F-16 in Have Glass V paint! I had seen other modellers tackle this Dark Viper scheme with …

The A-4 Skyhawk is one of my favourite jets and I have built quite a few over the years. It’s widely appreciated that the best 1/48 kit of the beloved Scooter was produced by Hasegawa models and they still set the standard today. When I was offered a cheap 1/48 Hobbyboss A-4F Skyhawk I took …
I truly enjoy seeing diorama models at a show, or online or in a magazine and I always marvel at the skill and ingenuity of the artists that make them. These wonderful works of art have often inspired me or if I am truly honest, made me quite envious as well! That said, they have …
Hello and welcome back to The Scale Model Hangar! When Meng Models announced their new tooling of the Super Hornet they immediately had my attention! Men's reputation for crisp, accurate models has won them praise in the scale modelling community and new releases always attract high volume sales. This kit was no exception. The Superhornet …
