Silver Wings resin 1/32 Fiat CR-32

by Bill Koppos on August 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

So I always thought the Fiat CR-32 was a good-looking aero plane. Pointy nose, scalloped wings/tail, cool spatted wheels. For some reason I never got round to doing one, most likely due to the limited run nature of the available 1/48 kits. [...]

1/700 Mikuma & Asashio @ Midaway 1942

by Steven Corvi on August 20, 2024 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This is an older one I did about 15 years ago. 1/700 Tamiya Mikuma & 1/700 Pit-Road Asashio with some etched brass to jazz them up. A battle scene of what the fate of the Mikuma was... Always like waterline displays for my ships. [...]

Tomcats Panther: 1/48th Trumpeter F9F-2 Panther

by Fly Past Rush on August 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This 1/48th Trumpeter F9F-2 Panther is a good kit that will get you a nice display model, straight out of the box, without much hassle. I also bought one of the Hobbycraft kits and built it up as the photo-recon variant of the Panther in [...]

Tamiya Mercedes Benz 300SL (clear view edition) 1/24th

by Cricket on August 19, 2024 · in Automotive · 11 ≡
