Originally designed in the late 1930’s as an observation aircraft, the OS2U Kingfisher had a remarkable career aiding the Allies in rescue and reconnaissance missions during WWII.

For the modeler: This kit features a choice of open or closed canopies, optional parts for wheeled and float versions, an optional dolly to model the “floatplane” version on land, pilot and gunner figures and decals for two versions: 1. OS2U-3 Kingfisher of Cruising Scouting Squadron One (VCS-1), catapults U.S.S. Detroit (CL-8), Aleutian Islands and 2. Kingfisher OS2U-3 Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas, 1942. In the Step-by-Step review Mike will show you how to choose an authentic finish for model, add a walking surface, make the prop tips stand out and add some realistic details to perfect your build.

Greetings Fellow Modelers, 

Beginning this week Right On Replicas will be making some changes to its website. While the mission of RoR is to promote the hobby with useful products and information for the craftsman;  the cost of providing those services has forced us to begin charging a small fee for our detailed Step-by-Step Reviews. For less than the price of a cup of coffee at your local restaurant in most cases,  you’ll still be able to get the best online model kit review around. RoR will still post SnapShot reviews and modeling tips at no charge.

To all of our loyal followers we encourage you to continue your support, and keep your eye on those reviews to find the  ones that you are interested in to purchase a copy in Adobe PDF format for your private use. An easy way to do this is to sign up for Feed Burner email notifications.  Just click on the link  in the right hand corner of the site and sign up with your email address and whenever a new review is posted, you’ll get an email describing the updated review.

We know that some will consider this an inconvenience after receiving top quality kit reviews for free over the last three years and we regret having to make the change, but it is necessary in order to continue to operate our website. We hope that you’ll all understand and continue to support RoR.

Sincerely,
Doug (righton) Cole

GM didn’t enter into Corvette racing until 1998, with the introduction of the new C-5 version. What better way to enter the grueling “24 Hours of LeMans” endurance race than with the fastest production car that GM builds. This model replicates the 50th anniversary version which finished second in class and won the “Manufacturer’s Championship” title at year’s end in 2003.

For the modeler: Although this style of automobile is not exactly my “cup-of-tea”, I actually had a blast building it nonetheless. The assembly process was uneventful for the most part, and any issues I did encounter were minor and easily resolved without a major catastrophe occurring. Fit and finish on this kit was superb, and flash was a non-issue since there really wasn’t any. I rate this kit a solid 4 1/2 stars out of a possible 5. Although it’s not for the beginner, an intermediate modeler (such as myself) can complete the kit without issue, and the advanced modeler would have an absolute field day customizing it to his/her particular taste. Would I build this kit again? If LeMans racers such as this were my thing, definitely! After I finished it, I kept looking at it on my workbench and imagining myself in the cockpit…racing over 200mph on the curves and straightaways, yet maintaining a glue-like traction to the roadway. Yee-HAH!
