Academy 1/35 Warrior ICV

by Ian Foulkes on March 17, 2019 · in Armor · 4 ≡

This is another one that's been hiding away in the shed. It's the Academy kit OOB, it's a great build. If memory serves, this is the initial release, before all the up armouring of the Warriors began. I remember seeing some of the trial [...]

Dragon 1/35 JS-2

by Ian Foulkes on March 17, 2019 · in Armor · 4 ≡

I was cleaning out the shed the other day and found this. I made this circa '94, then forgot I had it! It's the very old Dragon kit, the first issue when Dragon kits were very reasonably priced and giving Tamiya a run for their money on [...]

Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing Starfighter

by Scott Nelson on March 17, 2019 · in Sci-fi · 5 ≡

This is a kit that one could literally work on for a lifetime. I considered it. Panels galore to be painted in a myriad of grays and metallics and washes and filters to create variegated versions of those. Ultimately, I needed to call the [...]

I haven't shared for a while but I have been busy running a couple of major builds in parallel. This is one of them! The diorama is based on the Merit M19 Diamond T tank transporter kit and the Tamiya M3 Grant with the figures from [...]

Airfix 1:72 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X

by Dennis Meyers on March 17, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Another nice Airfix kit completed. This is a very well engineered kit that essentially fell together. The only finicky issue was that the propeller/shaft assembly wouldn't seat fully in the engine until I filed out the opening some. [...]

Any landing you can walk away from
