Year in Review

by Rob Pollock on December 15, 2018 · in Photo Collections · 11 ≡

I was looking back at the past year’s work, and see I ‘lost’ three months at the beginning of the year on my HMB Endeavour project, but was glad I did it. The middle part of the year was dominated by biplane projects, and in the [...]

by Louis Gardner on December 15, 2018 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This one should have been posted last night as a part of the 1930's decade... but I didn't get around to posting it. I had a lot of fun building this one. It's the new tool Airfix Hurricane, and it is a really sweet kit to build. The [...]

AVRO CF-105 Arrow (1/48th)

by Marvin Reyes on December 14, 2018 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I built this model a few years back; it's the Hobbycraft re-release of the CF-105 Arrow. I think this kit is OOP, and is a bit hard-to-find these days. As many of you are familiar with Hobbycraft kits, you know that they are pretty basic, [...]
