Some odd old parts wanted...

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I didn't see the marketplace in the groups section. I'm looking for some old parts; need canopies for a 1/42 Strombecker / Aurora TT-1 Pinto, and for the 1/48 Hawk / Testors F2H Banshee. [...]

A Monogram classic straight out of the box

A 1970s white box release of the venerable Monogram Dauntless. Before Accurate Miniatures and Hasegawa came in the the game, this was the only 1/48 scale SBD available. It was originally released in the early 60s and as was the trend [...]

Ok, so I started this project about 3 to 4 weeks ago and heres my progress so far. After rescaling the buildings to the same as the base sheet I started in earnest. The One Word Trade Center is 3 9/32 tall so if I did my math right it's [...]
