White giants, easy build? Airfix 1/72 Victor & Vulcan

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Homogeneously painted models bring a promise of an easy build. Yet, overall white paint cover is a wolf in a sheep skin. Not only that the model requires repeated coating to cover the darker colored plastic, but also extra care to [...]

Eduard’s Zero Type 11

by Ben Walmsley on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

G’day folks, here is an early zero from Eduard. Nice kit but I managed to find a way to make it difficult. Despite exercising due care on the construction of the wheel wells and main wing, I had trouble mating it to the fuselage. I had [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 Whirlwind

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

A sketchy design from Trumpeter yet, without fatal mistakes. Decals are glossy and brightly colored and need to mute down or be replaced. Nonetheless, the model can be turned around to decently represent a unique aircraft that had a brief [...]

Academy 1/72 Merkava Mk.III

by Dennis Meyers on September 13, 2024 · in Armor · 5 ≡

This is a crisp 2024 release Academy armor kit. It has very good fit and nice detail for a small scale kit. I built it OOB with the exception of the tactical marking sheets on the rear of the turret and the canvas covers for the aft [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ta 152C-0

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Kurt Tank's successor of the Focke wulf designed as a low altitude fighter interceptor. The kit was a late issue by Dragon after the Ta-152H kit and carries some common sprues. Similarly, it is highly detailed and the building experience [...]

Dick Winters from the TV series 'Band of Brothers'

by Manuel Magrinho on September 12, 2024 · in Figures · 16 ≡

Painted this Nutsplanet figure 1/10 scale last may as a tribute to the brave men of D-Day, in this case in the image of Dick Winters from the TV series 'Band of Brothers'. Hope you like, 🙂 M Nutsplanet figure 1/10 scale

Converting Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire to Mk. IXE

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The conversion relied on the availability of spare parts in Tamiya's IXC boxing to represent the later IXE, such as elevators, rudder and clipped wings. Scratch work involved the conversion of the C to E wing. I modified the gun bay area [...]

What has Rob been building, the past....year?

by Rob Anderson on September 12, 2024 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

Man I realized I was doing most of this build on FB and forgot my iModeler community! Long story short, my youngest daughter gave me a 1/35 Tamiya Sherman last October for my birthday, my granddaughter gave me a Tamiya Jeep for [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 BF-109F-2, Werner Molders, JG51, July, 1941

by Colin Latta on September 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is another Hasegawa BF-109, this time it's an F-2, flown by Werner Molders in 1941. I added belts and cockpit details, corrected the wheel wells and added brake lines. Paints are Tamiya acrylic, weathering with oils and pastels, and [...]
