The Rufe and P-400 are on my want-list. Good to see them back.

I want to build that 262! Looking good. Russell

Agreed on the Me-262,looks lovely. Anyone knows is that some kind of a re-boxing? Is that the best Me-262 in 1/72 or are the academy/revell offerings better? Kind regards.

Hi Sven, I think that the Academy kit is good, although the tolerance between the wing and the fuselage is a bit tight. I will show you some photos of the latest Academy offering here. The Revell isn't a bad kit either, although I am looking forward to seeing this Hasegawa bird. Don't know if it is a reboxed version or not. Take care, Russell P.S. I would add that this kit has much improved decals as well. Something that Academy kits have needed for sometime.

All of those kits are re-releases. The Me-262 was first released in the late '80s Here's mine that I did lo, these many years ago:
