Tamiya 1/48 Dewoitine D.520

by Toby Nelson on November 5, 2024 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Latest completion is the Tamiya 1/48 Dewoitine D.520. This was one of Tamiya’s two-sprue wonders from the 90’s, and it still holds up today as a nice kit. I added considerable scratchbuilt details to the cockpit sidewalls, and made [...]

Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 RIAT Greenham Common 1983

by Alistair Gauld on November 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

I really swithered about sticking this up as I think it's far from my best work. It took four repaints to get it to this stage and it shows in the loss of surface detail. Towards the end this was an effort in perseverance and sheer [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51B "Shangri La"

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

"Shangri La", the iconic P-51B piloted by Capt. D. Gentile, 336th FS, 4th FG with the early white spinner. And how disappointing was the end of this aircraft...

by Rod Bettencourt on November 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Hello, 486 Bomb Group 384 Squadron out of Sudberry. This aircraft survived the war to be broken up in Kingman AZ. I am waiting for the California countryside to turn green which should be in March. At that point I will post many more [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Ju 87R-2 Stuka

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

My interpretation of the "Desert Snake" Stuka flown by Leu Lt. Hubert Polz from Tmimi, Libya in 1941. The black and white photos confirm that the red color stands out from the camouflaged background.

Progress on the 1/8 scale James Hunt McLaren

by Rick Schad on November 4, 2024 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

I don't normally post pics of building progress, but this particular kit has been a complete nightmare. This kit is from 1972 and is by the defunct company Entex, from horrible instructions to terrible fit and everything in between it has [...]

Cleveland IPMS 2024

by Jim Harley on November 3, 2024 · in Show Reports · 8 ≡

Went to the Cleveland IPMS show today. What an excellent turnout. The show has grown over the last few years and now fills both the Grade School Gym (vendors) and the High School Gym (show). Lots of quality models…it’ll probably take a [...]
