Scratch Your Model: Hasegawa 1/32 Ki-84 Hayate

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hasegawa's big Hayate is a good candidate for model detailing. It is an excellent kit with finely recessed and raised surface details. The fit of parts is very good, and the parts count is relatively low. It is only the engine cowling [...]

1/35 Thunder Model Scammell Trailer and Crusader Load

by Kevin Rowbotham on July 9, 2024 · in Armor · 4 ≡

Further to my post on the Scammell tractor, I've now completed the trailer and load. The Crusader tank is the Italeri kit built pretty much out of the box. The kits were painted with enamels and weathered with pastels and a Flory wash. I [...]

Eduard: 1/48 A6M2 Zero Type 21

by Eric Berg on July 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built Eduard’s Zero strictly OOB, nothing added except for brake lines, because this ProfiPak edition doesn’t need a thing more. It’s all here in the box to build a near perfect looking A6M2 Type 21 with no rough spots or [...]

Dragon 1/48 Horten (Gotha) Ho 229B

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The wooden flying wing that was on the final stages of development towards the end of WWII. The single seat flying wings reached the stage of prototype trials, but the night fighter two seat version did not complete the design [...]

Winston Churchill – Dolman Miniatures, 1/10 scale

by Manuel Magrinho on July 8, 2024 · in Figures · 14 ≡

The young Winston Churchill, in his early 20s, still at the beginning of his military career. I chose to give a really youthful, almost childish, look to the figure, without wrinkles or deep shadows, and maintaining an impeccable uniform [...]

Lukgraph's Rumpler 6B.1 in 1/32 scale

by Paul Higgins on July 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hi, guys... this seaplane fighter design is one of my recent builds and is produced in resin, with 3D-printed parts and some PE items included as well. The build is relatively straightforward, although care really has to be taken when [...]

Tamiya 1/48 FW190 A8

by Mark Hedrick on July 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This was a nice easy kit with good fit and few issues. Cockpit is not very detailed so I built it closed. After some searching I built approximating a plane from II/jg 1 “Oseau” as it was in late 1943 with red rudder, numerals, [...]

Dragon 1/35 M3A1 Half Track

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on July 7, 2024 · in Armor · 10 ≡

The iconic American Half Track is well represented in Dragon's M3 variants. It was extensively modified, well produced and lasted for decades in the service of armies of many countries. The model is highly detailed and fiddly in places, [...]

F-8X Super Crusader,

by Robert Royes on July 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Here's another Whatiffer. Eliminating the bridle catapult set up by adopting the nose gear hook up from the A-7, including the main landing gear also installing a 20mm vulcan, instead of those prone to jam singles, an engine change [...]

Accepted as stand-ins, others get the speaking roles: two GAZ-51(A) lorries with the UPG-250GM and PSG-65/130B superstructures

by Roland Sachsenhofer on July 7, 2024 · in Automotive · 8 ≡

With this model presentation, I can dispense with any pretence of being an "expert": I am simply not familiar with lorries, especially those used by the military. The question as to why I have then - with no small effort, as will [...]
