If you would like to get into WWI models, but are not ready for the tedium of biplane, then look no further. This is a great representation of an eindecker. The instructions are clear, the fit is pe....

This model is pretty tricky, and I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. Like most Roden models I have encountered, the fit is pretty bad, there is an enormous amount of flash and it requires quit....

To begin with a positive, you can build this kit into a lovely little model. There is lots of potential for fine detail, and there are 11 different decal options! HOWEVER, I would not recommend this....

This is a great little kit for the price. It is well detailed, the mold is clean and there is very little flash, and most everything fits well. It comes with the option to do full hull, or waterline....

My first recommendation is that you buy two if these kits because as soon as you finish one, you will want to build another. This is the perfect kit for someone who has never built a biplane before. ....

This kit is pretty cool. The detail is good, and the aircraft itself is very neat looking. There is one pretty big issue with fit though. When putting the fuselage to the wing assembly there was a....

This is a pretty basic kit. The hull and deck comes as one molded piece, so at least there’s not as much fiddling. It’s a beautiful light cruiser, and it works very well with Toms Modelworks IJN li....

This is a great kit of a pretty prolific class of ship. The kit comes with options for several knox class frigates in the US navy, and several Balares class frigates in the Spanish navy (I think I’m ....

This Photo Etch kit is good, not great. Since it’s a general kit, meant to suit the needs of many different IJN light cruisers, it lacks much of the specific details one may want (bridge windows for ....

This is a really good kit. There was almost no flashing, and the fit was pretty near perfect. I really appreciated all of the built in detail, especially in the wings and cockpit. The cool thing is....

This is pretty much a necessary paint if you're going to do ships (even water line ships usually have a tiny bit of hull showing). It's definitely got a lot of rusty brown color in it which....

If you're like me you will soon get tired of buying the 10ml bottles of this color! This is a great all-purpose dark green, and the bigger pot is a better value. You may not think so, but you wi....

Good dark dirt colored acrylic paint. Tamiya recommended it for a WWII U.S. soldier's pants, but I think you could also use it as part of the camo scheme for RAF brown and green camouflage schem....

This is a great light=ish dull green. It is a great all around color for WWII plane cockpits, and I use it for most of mine. I have also mixed it with white to get a sky type color for the underside....

This is a great glossy top coat. Since I mostly do planes, I've mostly used it for decal prep (if you spray down a coat of gloss before applying the decals it helps them adhere and cuts down on ....

If olive drab is just too drab for you, then here's the solution! This is ind of a dull dark green that has lost of uses. It is good for military models, and I like to use it in place of olive ....

This is one of many shades of grey (no pun intended). I think it works well on the underside of some planes, and for other applications that require a grey that isn't too light or dark. You may....

Note: this doesn't actually look like chrome. It's pretty close, but it's too grainy. Like most paints that try to imitate a metallic substance, it gets the color right, but not the v....

Good dark tan (khaki) colored acrylic paint. I think this is perfect for a variety of things, from the tan and green (aka 'sand and spinach') camouflage scheme for the P-40 to a pair of sla....

This is good basic green acrylic paint. It's in a smaller sized pot but it's plenty to last a long time. It's a really good paint for the airbrush, however, I still get good results w....
