Well, this project is still on-going. It's one of those projects were you feel like you are almost done but then you realize you are still so far off. Trying to get everything correct, and taking care of those little details can take so [...]

Mitsubishi-A6M5-Zero – Tamiya 1/32

by Alex on October 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Vintage kit from Tamiya which was sleeping for about 15 years in my basement. After some days sick at home I have decided to restart building models. Wow what a great feeling to redo something with my hands. I used Tamiya lacquers, dry [...]

TBF-1 Avenger 1:72

P-47D Thunderbolt – Matchbox, 1/72

by Manuel Magrinho on October 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Rebuild from an old-beaten up Matchbox kit from the 80's. "Unpainted" it with some brake fluid, and painted it again, just to test some techniques. The last varnish coat produced a 'whitish' look :-/ [UPDATE] Later on, the antena [...]

Mitsubishi A6M2 – Zero; Tamiya, 1/48

by Manuel Magrinho on October 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This plane represents one of the 2nd wave that stroke Pearl Harbour, from the Akagi. I scribed lots of panel lines and rivets so, at the end, did a heavy weathering to made those work pop. After a break of almost 30 years, I have lots of [...]
