MENG MERKAVA Mk.4

by stephen leslie on January 31, 2019 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I decided to try my hand at something different so I got myself a 1/35 tank. I couldn't believe it when I opened the box, 1000 parts! I've added metal tracks and some wires and aerials, otherwise it's out of the box. Hope you like it.

by Tom Bebout on January 31, 2019 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Second build off the bench for 2019 is this HE162 A-2 Salamander. Wanted to build something unusual and with not a lot of parts for a quick relaxing build. This kit fulfills most of those requirements except most of the parts are rather [...]

Had some fun with this model creating some scratch elements in the cockpit and trying to have the window open without any ugly support. I used AK Interactive colors (New formula AK02001). Actually quite good and really easy to apply. The [...]

Kitty Hawk 1/48 XF5U-1 “Flying Flapjack”

by Eric Berg on January 30, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I really like modeling propeller driven X-planes. When Kitty Hawk came out with this 48th scale XF5U-1 “Flying Flapjack” in early 2016, I jumped on it. I built this straight out of the box as it has everything you need including PE [...]

Review: Excited about these exhausts

by Erik Gjørup on January 30, 2019 · in Reviews · 6 ≡

Maiale, The diorama

by Geir Andersen on January 29, 2019 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

This feels a bit like cheating as I squeeze two articles from one model but the S.L.C. “Maiale” seemed a bit lonely sitting on my shelf in its cradle so I decided to make another diorama. The ship hull was fun to build. Even if it’s [...]
