Tempest

by IAN JACKSON on October 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Bought this on impulse at my local (only) toy shop a couple of months ago... at one point I thought about giving it away, but I'm glad i didn't. Like the wee Jet Provost, this - IMHO - is a future Airfix classic. It's a gem of a kit, build [...]

A-26c Jersey Bounce question. Please advise

by David Butler on October 15, 2024 · in How-to · 7 ≡

I've been working on Monograms 1/48 a-26c for some time now and need some advice on decals. About half of the sources I've seen (mainly decal sets) have the nacelles black with the underside wings black as well. The other half have only [...]

Dragon 1/48 Fw 190D-13

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The D-13 was the last operational variant of the Dora. The spectacular look of the aircraft in the Champlin Collection was an inspiration for me. At that time, the aircraft was displayed following the first restoration effort consisting of [...]

The Los Angeles class are nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) currently in service with the U.S. Navy. Making up over half of the Navy's fast attack submarine fleet, the Los Angeles class is the most numerous in the world. [...]

Revell 1/48 P40 B Flying Tiger

by Mark Hedrick on October 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]

Nostalgic Build, a Fun Trip Back in Time

by Joe Boylan on October 15, 2024 · in Space · 5 ≡

I saw this model in a friend's stash and waxed a bit nostalgic, and he let me buy it off him. I had built this model in grade school, but lacked the skills, and I believe it ended up packed with fire crackers in the backyard. Fun kit, [...]

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88P-1

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Ju 88 P-1 was a heavy-gun variant fitted with single 75 mm (2.95 in) Bordkanone BK 7,5 cannon. It appeared in mid-1942 in small numbers and considered to be a failure both in terms of a tank destroyer or a bomber.

1/72 HELLER DC-6B

by Steve Hawley on October 14, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]
