A new B-17G early version
2 of 2 found this helpful Let's face it. There has not been a new 1/48 scale B-17 in over 35 years. That happened with Monogram's b-17g in 1975. I remember as a teen getting my first b-17g. I got it home , ripped the cellophane wrap off of the box. Took the box top off, and beheld a wondrous sight.
All of this time later, I get the HK 1/48 scale b-17g in the mail. Pull it from its outer shipping sleeve, remove the box top lid and I am blown away by the detail of the fuselage and wings. The rear access door and the front access hatch are separate pieces. The molding of the parts is situated so as to follow along with the original design of how Boeing put these aircraft together. The Bombardier / Navigator section is a separate piece as well as the tail Gunners section. The interior detail is excellent and the top section of the cockpit / top turret is a Separate piece will allow access to all the finish
work done to the cockpit. The exterior of the fuselage and the wings have recessed panel lines and a good representation of the flush rivets and button rivets on the exterior skins. The only thing not represented is the wrinkles from stressing the Skins to the frames. I can definitely overlook that. The venting for the fuel tanks on the top of the Wings are open. The exhaust and turbo chargers are separate parts. The engines have a high level of detail, and are quite accurate. The notch and tab used to hold the main wings is a novel approach, compared to the monogram kit's slot and tab with raised beads to hold kit wing in place. The belly turret consists of 1 clear piece with 7 gray molded sides top and the actual trunnion ring that the belly turret actually rides on. This kit was well-thought-out with a change of nosepiece it could be backdated to an F and even an E with a belly tub and multi -piece nose cone. With a change of starboard side waist window and a cheyenne tail turret this could be the final version of the B-17G. This kit has several aftermarket sets already being produced for that next level of detail. My final thoughts, I believe that given the level of Technology that went into this kit, it is worth the hundred dollar Plus price. I would recommend taking the time to study everything in the kit and be diligent to the details and we will get an excellent representation of an early version b-17g.

U.S. Staff car
This was definitely a subject matter that was needed for 1:48 scale. Perfect for Airfield dioramas just park it outside the control Tower of your diorama adds additional element of realism. The model is well-thought-out very clean and detail there was no flash, and sprue trees are very small less clean up. Tamiya lent it's reputation to this rendering as well. This is a fine model . the only problem is that the front seat back is open .I would recommend using a piece of styrene card stock to close it in 2mm below where seat and back meet. The chassis die cast metal which makes for a sturdy vehicle .It gives it good weight and feels right. This one rates right along with Tamiya's jeep. Well executed with attention to detail, this staff car will look good as a vignette or as a diorama prop.

Fujimi: Le Mans GT40 ;Only game in town
After watching Ford vs. Ferrari, I set out to find the Ford GT40 from 1966. After much research, I located 2 of the three winners at the LeMans 1966 race. These kits are in high demand, and come at a stiff premium.
This is a really good example of how a kit is supposed to be made , the moldings are crisp with no flashing. Details are accurate and precise. All of the moldings are in sealed separate bags as are the decals and photo etch. The windscreen and rear glass are separate pieces. The body is One Piece, so if you want to display with the rear clamshell open, you have to cut it, and make the hinge. The engine area is basic, and can use some major detailing. The live axles are not represented and they use a single metal axle for the back. The rotors and calipers are well-represented and are a nice touch. The body itself is not too thick in the plastic and is well detailed.
The suspension parts are very thin and well represented. This kit , actually has foot pedals that are molded in a single cluster.
The instructions are multilingual and well-executed. The kit shows the "Gurney" bubble on the driver side door , if you have the number two car. This was for driver Dan Gurney; because of his height, his helmet hit the top of the door. They actually cut a hole in the top of the door, made a raised cover and riveted it into place. Giving him the Headroom to sit comfortably in the non-adjustable seats.
This is a great kit overall, and the reason I gave it four stars is because there is not a representation for the engine and you would have to cut the rear clamshell off to view it anyway. What they did put in was a shelf with an air cleaner sticking out of the top. This is where your scratch building skills will have to come in. You're in luck though, there are several companies that make the 427 engine that was used in these cars. Just make sure it is the 427 side Oiler and not the sohc 427. One more thing, this was a dry-sump configuration so remember to put the oil tank in. The photo etch, has parts for the lap belts , shoulder straps you will have to provide the materials for the belts themselves.
I hope that this Light review is helpful to you. These kits are somewhat pricey, but they are a great kit and your efforts will be very rewarding.
