Though overall a very good kit, it is marred by some engineering choices.

If you’re looking for a great little jet kit to build, this is one I highly recommend. It’s a no fuss, fun model to put together, and in my opinion it’s one of the coolest looking little jets on the planet. You can read a full build report on my personal blog at JonBius.com.

AMTech’s 1/48 P-40E

I recently finished AMTech’s 1/48 P-40E. If you have the choice, I’d recommend the Hasegawa kit over this one. The AMTech offering is not bad, but it does have more than a few warts in terms of ease of assembly. For a full build report, visit my personal blog at JonBius.com.

Hasegawa’s 1/48 F-4E Phantom II

I’ve finished up Haseagawa’s 1/48 F-4E Phantom II. The kit is very good, despite its age. I did use a fair amount of resin, though I think only the cockpit and missile armament really contributed to the overall look at the end. The aftermarket parts include: Blackbox cockpit and seats Eduard Brassin Sparrow missiles Resin intakes (not sure of brand)
