Kobey takes a closer look at Hasegawa’s 1/700 IJN Battleship Ise, a waterline model that packs in plenty of character without needing the full hull.

There’s also something really nice about the little finishing touches here, from the name plate to the marking options and paint references for getting the Japanese naval details just right.

Those gull wings weren't just for looks!

The F4U-1A Corsair packed a 2,000hp engine and a propeller so massive it forced that bent wing design in the first place.

By summer 1943 it got a bubble canopy for better visibility and could haul bombs up to 1,000lb, turning a dogfighter into a real threat over the Solomon Islands.

This variant laid the groundwork for the Corsair's long run all the way through Korea.

The Tabletop Scenics Imperial Triumphal Arch brings a little grand-scale drama to the tabletop, standing at roughly 26 cm tall and wide enough to frame passing tanks and marching troops.

Designed for 28mm heroic scale, the unpainted kit gives you plenty of room to make it your own. The arch can become a centrepiece for a battlefield scene or the entrance to a hard-won Imperial city.

The adventure begins!

It’s time for Hearns Hobbies Racing to get the RS5 1/5 TC out from under its car cover and head up the Hume Hwy to John Grant Raceway for the the 2026 RCRA Large Scale NSW State Titles 🏆🏁

The TFG painted weapon will once again roar around the track in anger as the track opens up on Thursday for practice. Just to make things a little more interesting for this event, Brett will be trying his hand at 1/5 Superbike, with the Team Cayote powered RG-evolution BK4. A baptism of fire to say the least…..let’s go!

If John Hamon, RS5 Australia crew chief think he’s in for a hard weekend, poor Davide RG-Evolution Crew Chief is also up against it as he has not only a new bike to dial in but get Brett to figure out how it even works 🤣

First stop, Wodonga Rc Track and a run with some 1/10’s…..watch this space as Brett & Rudy get underway on this epic adventure!

Tony and Kobey takes a closer look at the 1/8 scale kit, from the Yamaha livery and proper chain drive to the weighted front wheel that helps keep the bike balanced.

It’s an unusual little piece of engineering, and honestly, one of those kits that’s just fun to see working again.

MENG’s 1/24 Fokker Dr.I brings the famous Red Baron era to the workbench with plenty of detail packed into one impressive scale. 🛩️

The rotary engine and twin Spandau guns give it plenty of character, while the cockpit and fabric-textured wings really bring out the look of the original aircraft.
