  • After making a big splash last spring with the unexpected arrival of four all-new 1/32 scale World War I aircraft, New Zealand-based Wingnut Wings is back with four more releases.

    Published: 03.15.2010

  • The most recent releases include Maestro’s first foray into decals, a striking last-flight scheme for a Finnish Saab Draken with a bright yellow-and-black paint job and a large silver-and-black bull across the center section.

    Published: 03.11.2010
  • This is another high-quality release from Eduard that doesn’t take up too much display space.
    Published: 03.10.2010
  • You might say this is the exciting part of the model, when it begins to take on its final form and reward you for all the hours of doing your best.
    Published: 03.05.2010

  • The company has updated the kit to a mid-production variant with new parts that should make the popular subject even more appealing.
