B-58 Hustler (Plastic model)

Overall it's not a bad kit but it does need some putty work and PLENTY of weight in the nose area.

A Yamato Fan

IJN Battleship Yamato Full Hull DX (Plastic model)

The best 1/700 Yamato in the market. While it is arguably comparable to Tamiya's, this edition adds a lower hull and a great PE set.

The kit has several downsides:
-No single AA mounts (Yamato has 8 in 1945)
-The triple AA mounts are not good.
-Sink holes on the triple AA dome and blast bags.

I also recommend Fujimi's Kongo full-hull DX. It is a smaller batteship, but it has the best molding in this scale I've seen.

Kubelwagen Type82 OTTO w/Marseille (Model Car)

A beautifully moulded kit of an iconic WW2 vehicle. The parts detail is really amazing and worth the time spent to build it. Coupled with the fact that you can also replicate the personal transport of a well-known German flying ace and you have a winner here. I will give it a 5 stars rating!

Tables and chairs of elementary school (Plastic model)

Bought one of these to use with my figma.
It was a big deception because of the quality of the plastic. It breaks when you assemble the different parts betwen them. Some parts don't fit even if I sand the tips.
I don't recommand it.

Martin Wilson

X-47B US NAVY UCAS (Plastic model)

I am the Copy-Editor for Freedom Model Kits and wish to make the following announcement and clarification.
The X-47B kit has selectable options as standard in this kit. The wings can be folded, the air brakes can be shown open or closed and the flaps can be shown retracted or stowed.
This is a very large model kit and has two decal options but includes sufficient decals to allow "what-if" modellers with options.
Two new tooled GBU-31 JDAMs are also included.

SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1/GR.3 (Plastic model)

Looks like a very nice kit,let down by some innacuracies such as the Laser Guided Bombs & Matra Magic misiles are not used by the RAF or out of service such as the SNEB rocket pod,not to mention the wrong weapon pylons as well,so you'd either have to buy aftermarket weapons or dog rob from the Airfix kit.

I finished the Kongo a few days ago and it was one of the most enjoyable kits I have built. All you need is a wooden deck and you will have a stunning model when you have finished. I also added a railings set but even without them it looks and builds great. See my completed model on Model Shipwrights under warreni.

French Infantry (Sedan 1940) (Plastic model)

This one is disappointing - I always paid the premium price for outstanding quality. The quality of this kit is of a Tamiya 70th kit. Extremly soft features, weapons are in my view unusable. The rifle has almost no features. I was in shock and thought first of a mis-production but when checking reviews I saw the same issues in pictures. The idea is great but what happened here?? Is this still Dragon? (Actually also the Rommel set has some of these issues too - even in a much less extend).

IJA Type95 Light Tank [Ha-Go] Early Production (Plastic model)

Kit builds up beautifully, molding is superb and has many very fine details. so far no filler required anywhere... 2 nice features are that optional parts are provided to allow the gun mounting to move in 2 axis as it was on the real tank, and the track tensioners can be made functional to allow you to adjust track tension. highly recommended kit.

parts on trees with no place to go such as PE #4, B#19, A#20-21,D#2, and C#54.

over and over the instructions trying to locate these items.

Westland WS-61 Seaking HC.4 `Falklands` (Plastic model)

Kit looks great with excellent fine crisp detail. It is a little lacking in some obvious detail parts such as Port side antenna posts. Instructions are very poor with no color references and very vague instructions on
what holes to open on fuselage etc for attaching parts.
The rotor blade in fold option instructions are very poor. Decals look good and I'm sure it will make up a great model if you can figure out instructions or should I say lack of instructions..

The Nichimo Ki-45 is a very nice kit. It may not be as complex and detailed as the new
Hasegawa Ki-45, but for the price it is nicely detailed and the were no significant issues
with the fit of the parts. I enjoyed building this kit and would recommend it. If you wish
spend twice as much - buy the Hasegawa kit.

Trumpeter attempts an accurate model and the exterior IS beautiful but the errors in the driveline are too many to list. Also the rendering of the transmission and the transfer case in the model leave a lot to be desired. Photo of one of my scratch built gearboxes is attached. Two such gearboxes are required to correct this model. The model will also require a main driveshaft running the length of the vehicle.

F-22 Raptor (Plastic model)

I have the ROG issue of this kit , it is terrible. Parts don't fit well, the two top halves of the fuselage are the stuff of nightmares, main wheels are from a tractor and the intakes and exhaust areas have little to no detail and the exhaust petals are taken from the YF-22! Lots of scratchbuilding (don't waste money on aftermarket, except for wheels they are a must) sanding, dry fitting, modifying kit parts and did I mention sanding? Do all this and you can end up with a passable kit.

The disappointing aspect of this model is that there is a lot of electrical wiring to install and all the instruction is in Japanese. You should seriously consider adding ENGLISH (international language) translations for difficult models like this. I rated "easy to build" as 1 because I cannot complete the model due to no english instructions.

M4A1 Sherman (Late Style) (Plastic model)

As with all the TASCA M4s! It's a really nice model! In fact the model represents a "refurbished" M4A1 that had all the features added of the so-called "blitz program".
It means the applique armor, M34A1 mantlet, travel lock and mounting strip for the sand shields. I'm not so impressed with the attaching straps of the OVM pioneer tools!
But that's a marginal criticism only. Otherwise an outstanding model.
