S K Loh
starts today with his tiny 1/144 Hellenic RF-4E Phantom. S K Loh
added quite a few scratchbuilt details to improve this little

is and I love the look of it. |

Wong, Ryan
joins us today with my favourite Japanese fighter. This is his
1/48 Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien with custom painted markings and
a fantastic looking camo paint job. Ryan also added seatbelts

one great looking Hein and I love Ryan's work on it. |
