Academy F-14A 1:48 (1988 tool)

by Matthew Fletcher on October 28, 2018 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I must say I was always intimidated by builds of modern aircraft but this build changed my mind. The kit is from 1988 and does not stand up to the new Tamiya kit but I managed to have a lot of fun with it. Lots of fit issues and old decals [...]

Zayna The Goblin Queen Bust

by Aaron Newlands on October 28, 2018 · in Figures · 10 ≡

I got this a while back and overall like it a lot. Its a different kind of fantasy bust being a Goblin Queen. One complaint about Iter Miniatures is the final product is a little different than the actual mini. While it hasn't bothered me [...]

F6F Hellcat – 1:32 Hasegawa

by Matt Minnichsoffer on October 27, 2018 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

First, let me say this—I originally wanted to title this post, “To Hell with this F6!” But, thought our web site benefactors wouldn’t appreciate it. However, my fellow builders, this kit was anything but fun. Maybe its because [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51B “Ole II”

by Brian Riedel on October 27, 2018 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here's my favorite Monogram kit of all time, the 1/48 P-51B. Over the years I must have built at least six of these (with another 5 in the stash). It is the original mold kit, not the Pro-Modeler re do that came later. It was built pretty [...]

Kitty Hawk F2H-2 Banshee

by Marvin Reyes on October 27, 2018 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is the Kitty Hawk F2H-2 done almost OOB, using kit decals. I added Furball canopy decals, along with a scratched metal pitot. Reading the reviews of this KH kit is not very much fun, because they highlight a lot of problems that this [...]
