Hobby Boss, 1:48 Scale, Grumman F8F-1, "Bearcat"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Calling this one FINI! Nice little kit which I built completely OOB. I've always liked Leroy Grumman's 'Hot Rod' as it was called in Grumman Corp. Circles. The kit as it comes OOB, is actually a -1b. I wanted to build a real early [...]

AMK 1/48 Kfir C7

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

AMK's Kfir is a very good kit. It has nicely engraved panel lines and plastic parts are crisply molded. Thus, the fit of parts is very good except for the intakes to fuselage joints. This fault plagues most Mirage type molds of most [...]

TIGER 1 Initial RFM--"Siege of Leningrad"

by Graeme Street on March 27, 2024 · in Armor · 12 ≡

Hey everyone. I'm posting my recent pics of the RFM TIGER 1 Initial Production, Leningrad 1943. The RFM kit is just excellent! I think maybe RFM makes some of the best kits on the market today. So clean and crisp with excellent [...]

Doobi Overhaul

by Charles King on March 27, 2024 · in Diorama · 18 ≡

This diorama was once slightly bigger before it was reduce to the size you see in the photos. I wanted to concentrate on making smaller dioramas, so decided to re-do the diorama. The cab is now back on and figures have been re-arranged. [...]

Sparviero

by IAN JACKSON on March 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Italeri kit with 'no additives' unless you count the outstanding Sky decals. Paints are Mr Color lacquers and Tamiya acrylics all mixed until 'they look right' - no exact formulas here. I temporarily tack-glued the ventral gondola section [...]

Heller 1/72 J-29 Tunnan

by Greg Kittinger on March 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I love all of the Swedish jets, and decided to start my Swedish collection with the Tunnan. The original kit in my stash was a Matchbox kit, but when I opened it and saw how toy-like it was, I tossed it and found a Heller kit on ebay. The [...]

FT-5 1/72

by kai zhang on March 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

FT-5, this kit is not available on the market yet. I modified it using MIG15UTI, and the effect is good. The small airplane is very fun!

RAAF Lockheed F-4 Lightning Photo Recon

by Carl Smoot on March 26, 2024 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I’ve completed my build of the photo reconnaissance version of the P-38E Lightning. The particular version I built was an F-4 Lightning (versus F-4A as often seen) used by The Royal Australian Air Force in 1943. This has been a fun [...]

1/43 Penske PC4

by Robert L Hart on March 26, 2024 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

Formula Models kit. Represents car driven by Danny Ongais in 1977 Canadian GP. The kit offered a decal for the stripes on the spine, but they didn't fit, so I masked and painted them.

ICM 1/48 B-26B Marudaer Instructions Video

by David Odenwald on March 26, 2024 · in News · 11 ≡

(link) For ICM's just released B-26B Marauder. It certainly has a higher parts count than the Monogram kit as it looks like the whole kitchen sink was thrown into the tail detail wise. Individual guns in each side blister? And those [...]
