Academy 1/35 Panzer II Ausf. F

by Derek Bowen on October 9, 2023 · in Armor · 16 ≡

This was a very easy-to-build kit and my first attempt at building a tank. All my previous models have been planes. The only thing I really struggled with is the construction and installation of the tracks. That was a nightmare for me. [...]

An old favorite!

by Clint Miller on October 9, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

This is the old Revell P-40c. It's still a great little kit after all this time and I always have at least a couple it my stash. With a little work this kit is capable of being a show stopper. I'm not a master modeler by any means, but I'm [...]

Sword 1/72 F3D2 Skyknight, encore.

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on October 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Why to build only one when you can build two at the same time? Same kit, same details and improvements than on the previous one but this time I used the kit decals, except the yellow strake on the nose that I preferred to paint it to keep [...]

Spitfire Mk. I Tamiya kit

This was a great kit with excellent fit and detail. Many tiny fiddly parts in the interior so I decided to build open door version. I was not too happy with camo pattern outcome so I weathered more than usual. Decals were excellent and I [...]

by Robert Royes on October 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

While I didn't know him other than from the contact on this sight, I feel that i knew him enough to call him such. After discussing the aircraft that I worked on and squadrons that I was attached to, He sent me these photos. I planned on [...]

Arado Ar 68F

by Chas Bunch on October 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Here's my recently completed Roden Ar 68F in 1:48. A very nice kit compared to my Classic Airframes Ar 68E from back in 2010! I added Eduard steel seat belts, individual instrument decals to the panel, replaced the plastic exhaust [...]

Red Tails P-51Ds: Eduard's model conundrum

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Eduard's offerings in recent years of 1/48th scale WWII fighters are candidates to be the best models in the scale. I find that the sublime plastic surface texture and the plethora of colorful scheme options are tempting when considering a [...]
