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.

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.
