Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst...

While the Japanese might be more known for their submarine-born aircraft, they were not the only ones to have toyed with the idea. The Arado 231 "U-bootsauge" was an early '41 attempt to make a submersible-deployed observation [...]

2020 – the year when everything ran together like spilled paint

by Tom Cleaver on December 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

I want to be clear it is not a joke when I tell you that looking back on this year and trying to gauge its scope and its contents is like wrestling an oily pig in a carnival hall-of-mirrors. It was like dropping ten open bottles of paint [...]

Antonov AN-2 Colt

by Wes Pennest on December 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hobbyboss produced three kits of the AN-2, the AN-2V, the AN-2M and AN-2CX. The AN-2M is a specialized agricultural variant with a hermetically sealed cockpit and the squared-off rudder, so being one who wants a little more bang for their [...]

Year in review. The year to forget 2020.

by Bill Koppos on December 28, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 13 ≡

Finally got some Modeling Mojo, for a bad reason. Was not working during the original Covid lockdown, so I actually built some models. Amazing how much more energy one has when he is not getting up at 5:00 5 days. So I actually have a year [...]

BMP-1 in Iraq 1991- in 1:35 – Italeri

by Michel Verschuere on December 28, 2020 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is my crack at Italeri's kit #6520 of the Soviet-era Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) BMP-1. The kit lists by Italeri as from 2014 but the mold is ESCI dating back thirty years, but more on that later... I got this kit at Modellbau [...]

Italian Stallion...1/48 Macchi MC.200 Saetta, Regia Aeronautica

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on December 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Italeri kit built oob in 2012, Gunze and Tamiya paints used. The open wheel wells leave room for detailing if someone wants. BTW, the canopy sidewalls should lie down more to the fuselage. The model shows an a/c of 150th Gruppo Autonomo CT [...]

Italian Stallion…1/48 Fiat G.55 Centauro, Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on December 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Built in 2016. Initially my dad wanted to do the splinter camo "blue 11" with the Special Hobby Sottoserie 0 kit. But then he found out that the kit had only the wings for a Serie 1 aircraft and some filling, sanding and [...]
