Skimming the trees at 900 mph, the Tornado scans for targets-it doesn't matter what the target is, the Tornado has the weapons to engage and destroy. This variable-sweep wing combat aircraft is intended for a wide variety of roles, but it excels at low-level strikes. With ground-scanning radar with a range of 100 miles and a host of laser-guided munitions, nothing escapes a Tornado. Kit features free-fall and laser guided bombs, drop tanks, ECM pod, detailed cockpit, ejector seats, radar, landing gear and engine plus decals for 3 versions

Stearman aircraft are twin-seat biplanes first built in the mid-1930s and popularized by their use as a trainer for military pilots. Thousands of these aircraft rolled off assembly lines and introduced American pilots to the fundamentals of being a pilot. When the war ended, thousands of surplus trainers went on to do every civilian job from crop dusting to barn-storming aerobatics. Ease of maintenance and great handling made them popular wherever they went. Kit features a full interior sub frame, fixed support struts and landing gear plus a detailed multi-part engine.

1/48 F/A-18C Hornet Swiss A.F.
Model details
Item No - 80-4874
Skill level: 5
Scale: 1:48
Length: 359 mm
Parts: 97
The necessarily limited size of the Swiss Air Force requires that all aircraft within the force must fulfill multiple roles. The F/A 18-C Hornet is an effective interceptor, ground-attack and air superiority fighter which makes it ideal for the Swiss. It was license-built in Switzerland from 1996 to 1999 and still serves as a large component of the Swiss Air Force today. Kit features structured surfaces, detailed cockpit and undercarriage, missiles and decals with special tail fin markings for No. 17 and 18 squadrons of the Swiss Air Force

I'm much, much more interested in that 1/48 Stearman. Especially since the only other one available in 1.48 has been the ancient and hollowed Lindberg kit which gets endlessly re-re-re-re-issued despite itself.

Cheers Andy Judging by the built-up photo, it looks like the Stearman needs a bit of help to avoid droopy lower wings, but it's definitely the star of the show for me too!. All the best Rowan
