by Andrew H on June 24, 2020 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Good day all... I'd like to share one hot off the bench, as I'm happy to be done with this unique a/c. This build is OBB of a multimedia kit by Czech Model. There are reviews for it online, and generally speaking, they represent my [...]

"Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!" Jupiter 2, Lost in Space TOS, Polar Lights 1/60ish.

by Robert Royes on June 24, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 9 ≡

This is Polar Lights kit of the Jupiter 2 from the 1960's Lost in Space TV series, which wasn't bad until the second season when the stories got a bit silly. In those days I think for some of us we were all a little lost in space. The kit [...]

1/72 Revell (Academy) PBY-5A Catalina

by Gordon Zammit on June 24, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is Revell boxing of the now quite old Academy Catalina, the amphibian PBY-5A version. Built mostly straight out of the box, with the Revell decals which although a bit thick performed quite well. The roundels on the nose/cockpit sides [...]

Skyraider R3350-Duplex Cyclone Engine, jigsaw puzzle from Trumpeter!

by Rob Anderson on June 24, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 11 ≡

So, I hope the rest of the instructions are better than the engine instructions! Some trial and error and leaving out a part that can't be seen that interfered with the whole works and I got her together. Thankfully there are lots of [...]

Hello, I'm new to iModeler and a beginner model maker. This is my first post so be easy on me. Not sure if this is where I'm suppose to post but here it it. Old Tamiya kit I had fun making. Not much detail and the fit wasn't great but it [...]

by Alistair Gauld on June 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hi There, I picked this up last year for much cheapness and decided to give it a go over my long weekend. Innis advised me that the Sea Plane version was the one to go for so here it is in all it's amateurish glory. I found trying to get [...]

by Gordon Zammit on June 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Fujimi "Sunday Punchers" Boxing of their wide range of A-6's in 1/72. Straight from the box with kit decals, which weren't the best (as usual with Fujimi) and were very thick and difficult to comform to compound surfaces.

1/72 IDEA F-89D Scorpion

by Gordon Zammit on June 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is a boxing by a company named IDEA, but it is essentially the Academy kit, I think, as I do not have the academy kit, but the sprues are the same as photos on the net of the Academy kit. Quite good fitting parts, but I decided to [...]
