In-box Review of the Revell 1/72 Focke Wulf Ta 152 H

 

Unboxing and review of

- Revell 1/72 Focke Wulf Ta 152 H -



a peek inside the box.



    Time for another review. This week, it's the Focke Wulf Ta 152 H in 1/72 scale by Revell. The Ta 152 was an evolution of the fantastic Fw. 190 and was meant as a high altitude, high speed bomber interceptor. Whilst not the prettiest German built aircraft of WWII (in my opinion). It was a very capable aircraft. So let's take it down to the bench and see if Revell gave this aircraft the attention it deserves.

In-box review of the Italeri 1/72 Bell UH-1B "Huey"

 

Unboxing and review of:

- Italeri 1/72 Bell UH-1B "Huey" -



a peek inside the box.




    Time for another review. This week, it's one of the most recognizable helicopters out there. The Bell UH-1B "Huey" by Italeri in 1/72 scale. Widely used throughout the Vietnam War and beyond with a number of them still in service today. This rugged little helicopter fulfilled many roles in both military and civilian service, ranging from troop transport to search and rescue and even as a gunship. So let's see if Italeri were able to capture the majesty of one of the most iconic helicopters in rotorcraft history.

In-box review of the Heller 1/72 Aerospatiale SA 316B Alouette III

 

Unboxing and review of:


- Heller 1/72 Aerospatiale SA 316B Alouette III -



a peek inside the box.



    Time for yet another review. This week it's the Aerospatiale SA 316B Alouette III in 1/72 by Heller. A light utility helicopter introduced in the early 1960s. Initially built by Sud Aviation and later by Aerospatiale from 1970 onward. This whirly bird was also produced under license by IAR (Industria Aeronautică Română) and HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited). But that's enough history for now. I'll talk a bit more about it once I get to building the model. For now, let's get down to the bench and see what's inside the box.

In-box review of the Tamiya 1/72 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray

a peek inside the box.


    Today I have another review for you all. This week it's the Douglas F4D-1 Skyray in 1/72 from Tamiya. A 2nd generation, delta-wing interceptor jet fighter built by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation. It's an interesting example of early jet aircraft design. And one I had no knowledge of its existence until I saw this kit. Without further ado, let's get down to the bench and see if Tamiya did justice to this fascinating piece of aviation history.
