"Britain's Beast!" -- Tamiya Mk IV Male

by Graeme Street on June 11, 2024 · in Armor · 17 ≡

Another fantastic kit from Tamiya. A joy to build, especially the tracks. Totally OTB and nothing added except many, many (many) hours and sessions of weathering and layering. I threw lots and lots of stuff at this beast. Pigments, [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A-1H Skyraider

by Spiros Pendedekas on June 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 66 ≡

The Skyraider was a late WWII Douglas design to fulfill the United States Navy requirements for a carrier-based, single-seat, long-range, high performance dive/torpedo bomber that would be a follow-on to the Dauntlesses, Helldivers and [...]

Academy 1/48 P-40N Warhawk (ex Mauve)

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on June 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Improved with the Eduard PE set for this kit, Master metal cannons, and a Cutting Edge resin reflector sight (OOP), and scratchbuilt details on the cockpit. I used an old Super Scale decal sheet following most of its painting guide. This [...]

Panzer Werkstatt, France, 1944, 3/s.H.Pz. Abt. 503

by Jarmo P on June 10, 2024 · in Diorama · 20 ≡

Couple of years old diorama. With this thing I forgot old saying that less is more, so there is surely more... Without any hesitation I decided to put "all in" and see what happens. And this was the outcome. This is also kind of [...]

No Future

by Andreas on June 10, 2024 · in Diorama · 8 ≡

After Marty flew to far into future he recognised there was no hope so the time machine was forgotten 😉 My inspiration came from a shirt I saw and I thought it would be fun to put it into a diorama. The DeLorean model by Aoshina is not [...]

USAF F-86E Record-Setter: 1/48 Italeri F-86E

by George R Blair Jr on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]

1/144 Platz P-51D

by Steven Corvi on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the Platz 1/144 P-51D. This continues to add to my 1/144 collection. These Platz kits [1/144 P-47, A-4 Skyhawk & F-8 Crusader] are very nice and make into great little displays. Steve

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. I

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

With the wings swept back in the parking position, Trumpeter's Swordfish becomes a challenging kit to build. The wings exert a tremendous pressure on the hinges, tail unit and wheels. The result though is well worth the effort.

by Ray Seppala on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡
