HO Scale Santa Fe Snaptite kit by Monogram

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on June 17, 2025 · in Uncategorized · 2 ≡

Well this is different for me! I found this old Monogram Snaptite kit at a model show and just had to do it. Here is proof that you can make a nice looking model from a cheap easy kit. Build time about 30 minutes, paint and weathering [...]

by Djordje Starcevic on June 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi to all finally another one finished this year. More and more professional obligations left me very small amount of time for this beautiful hobby. This time, Hasegawa repackaged by Hobby 2000, Dewoitine D 520, over Africa. As this is an [...]

Lieutenant James Morris 20th Fighter Group P-38J

by Russell Jurco on June 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I have been holding off on posting this because of a serious finishing flaw. The demarcation line between the olive drab and the neutral gray should be a hard-edged wavy line. I might try to correct it one day, but I hate to take a chance [...]

1/48 Aerocraft Models Miles M.52

by Alistair Gauld on June 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is a quite exquisite 3D printed kit from Aerocraft. It goes together beautifully and builds up into a great little subject. I can heartily recommend it to anyone who wants a nice, quick and different build. It also comes in 1/32 and [...]

Tiger I - Tamiya 1/25

by Mike Yee on June 16, 2025 · in Armor · 3 ≡

This is the Tamiya early Tiger I in 1/25 scale. I bought this new over 40 years ago for $40. It was the most I paid for a kit up until then and thought it was over priced. I painted it with a rattle can in one color only, way before I [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-8E Crusader.

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on June 15, 2025 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I stuffed this one with all the aftermarket items I could. But I did not find a seamless intake, hence I spent a good time sanding the pieces on the kit to make it as seamless as possible. I rescribed the bottom of the fuselage and scratch [...]

Ki-45 Kai Hei “Nick”

by Michael Turner on June 15, 2025 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Intended as a long-range escort fighter, the Ki-45 has a troubled development and was not ready for operations until the upgraded Ki-45 Kai (improved). The initial version, retrospectively named the Ki-45 Kai Ko, was armed with two Ho-103 [...]

1/32 Dassault Mirage III (BMF presentation)

by Alex Hu on June 15, 2025 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

To let them soak in sunlight, feel the breeze, and sit among real shadows instead of artificial ones? That’s always been my preference—moving away from studio setups with fully controlled lighting, and instead embracing what nature can [...]

1/32 A-7E in Late-Service Low-Visibility Coating

by Alex Hu on June 15, 2025 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

On aging carrier-based attack aircraft like the A-7, long-term service often leads to hydraulic or engine oil seeping out from seams, access panels, maintenance hatches, and landing gear bays. During flight, these fluids get dragged [...]

1/32 Douglas A-1H Skyraider (Vietnam War)

by Alex Hu on June 15, 2025 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This 1/32 scale build of the legendary Douglas A-1H Skyraider is inspired by its service in the Vietnam War, particularly during the mid-to-late 1960s. The tropical camouflage, surface staining, and mission-weathered details all reflect [...]
