by Lucas Hernandez Morey on December 1, 2018 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This model kit is from an old mold of the Italeri Brand 1/48. During the assembly i had many lace problems. A lot of putty and sandpaper. The metallic paint is from AK , very delicate at the time of masking. Mediocre final result

by G. Ley on December 1, 2018 · in Diorama · 7 ≡

Something is not right with the Cessna's landing gear and a couple of mechanics have put it up on jack-stands for a gear retraction test to determine the problem, probably something to do with the jack-screws being out of alignment. I [...]

Lately, my workbench has been a mess. Not so much in a literal sense, but rather in the way projects keep coming in and not getting finished. Part of that is the result of trying to get build reviews done, while simultaneously [...]

Marder III

by Geir Andersen on November 30, 2018 · in Armor · 13 ≡

This is my first entry at iModeler.com and this is my first plastic model built for over 50 years. When I built my cheap Airfix kits as a kid, it was more about getting the model glued and slap on the decals. No one had ever heard of [...]

1/48 AMT P-40N

by Tom Bebout on November 30, 2018 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Another entry from what Louis Gardner has termed the "Bebout Curtiss Factory." This is my attempt at trying to build two kits at the same time, which is a bit of a challenge, but nothing as crazy as when Louis does 6 Spitfires at [...]
