Review: Hobby Boss 1/35 M911 C-HET, Part 2 – The Tractor

by Boris Rakic on August 5, 2018 · in Reviews · 31 ≡

When building such a massive kit, I usually start with some preparation. Labeling the sprue bags and sprues with large letters to make it easier to find them, and going over the instructions to identify parts and subassemblies which need [...]

New 1/32 Liberators from Hobby Boss

by Rob Pollock on August 5, 2018 · in News · 16 ≡

Hobby Boss’s two 1/32 B-24s, much vaunted in recent months and previewed at Nuremberg Toy Fair in February, are now about to hit the hobby shelves. No price confirmed, and no in-box reviews that I can see yet, but I see that pre-orders [...]

Meng Warship Builder Lexington

by Michael Smith on August 4, 2018 · in Ships · 8 ≡

I enjoyed taking a break from serious warship modeling with this adorable little anime-ish Lexington (CV-2) by Meng. The kit is well-designed and not a quick build by any means. I have always liked the Lexingtons in prewar colors, so I [...]

Staying hot on the heels of these FW-190 postings, I'll add another one of my recent builds... lets keep it rolling! This model was built as part of a four plane build that I did for the recent "Kasserine Pass" GB that was the [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3 (early)

by George Henderson on August 3, 2018 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Couldn't find a lot about this aircraft other than what is on (link) There is also a photo of the aircraft here. The fit of the kit was pretty good with the exception of the cowl panels which needed a lot of brute force. Trumpeter erred in [...]

Hi All, Love all the recent FW-190 postings, so I thought I'd add another Butcher Bird. Here's my 1/48 Arii kit I finished +/-20 years ago. Sorry, too many years ago to add any details about the construction. Keep on modeling!

by Louis Gardner on August 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Here's a model that I completed several months ago, during the Kasserine Pass Group Build, when I built a series of four different FW-190's. This model is painted as a "What if", since I didn't find any photos of the actual [...]
