Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE

I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]

MIG-21 PF EAF

Simple kit with no fit problems. Spartan cockpit so i insert Eduard pe cockpit and pavla seat. I love the build

Stretching a weekend build, Academys 1/48 Griffon powered Spit

Plenty has been written about the failings of this kit and i won't go into detail here beside dropping a Jon Bius quote that i think is fitting for most of us modellers... 'But I believe most modelers just want to enjoy a build. They [...]

P-47N....Au Natural!

Hey All, My first post for 2020. Also the first build in my personal tribute to build subjects, used during 1945, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of WW2. This aircraft is the famous P-47N from the 318th FG 333rd FS based at Ie shime, [...]

Scarlet Kate and Little Joe

I built these two 1/72 P-51Bs to compare the Academy and Revell kits. I enjoyed both builds, although the Academy kit – finished as 'Scarlet Kate' – was perhaps the easiest of the two in terms of fit and ease of construction. I also [...]

What If F111K RAF

This is the first of my "what if" F-111 K's. The registration is the actual first one in the block set aside for the F-111 after TSR2 was cancelled. I have painted her as the first one to be handed over at a ceremony at General [...]

Greetings to all forum members. On this occasion I wanted to show you a quick project without big aggregates. It is the T-34/85 of Academy, in 1/35. It is a very simple kit and easy to assemble, with a very good lace pieces. The detail is [...]
