"The Badger Patriot"
The purpose of an airbrush in scale modeling is to give you a reasonable representation of a scaled paint scheme. Whether you preshade or not. I was very happy with the amount of paint I could laydown consistantly. Now truthfully this is 60% the paint consistancy, 30% the airbrush design and 10% the modeler's ability. If you have an average experience in the first and the last issues the middle is fully met in the Model 105 Patriot.

Eduard's Neu Breed of War Horse
One of Eduard's best selling kits to date has been the early manufacture of their 1/48 Albatros D.V/ Va kits. #8013, 8019 & 8030. At the beginning of 2002 we saw that Eduard released their * 'neu' mold of the Albatros D.V kits. Here after seven years and at least 5 appearances since then ( #1111, 1107, 1124, 1136 & 1136X ) The mold has seemed to prove itself well over time. It is the buildup for the Eduard #8112 “Profipack” version that we will discuss here.
