1/48th Boeing B-52H Stratofortress
Evening all,
I thought you may be interested to see my latest 'work in progress' - Sanger's 1/48th scale B-52 vacuform. I've been plodding on with the engines and wings, and the accompanying pictures show my progress so far. The basic [...]
1/350 DKM U-505 was Captured

1:1 Military show action
A couple of shots from a very dusty Capel Military Show in southern England. The Sherman crew have deliberately been cropped out for wearing white tee-shirts and in one case, long blonde hair! Not much scale modelling going on while we [...]
Review: iModeler Review – Meng 1/35 Jagdpanther Ausf. G1
After its announcement last year, Meng finally released their new Jagdpanther in 35th scale. The subject choice does not come as a huge surprise, seeing as the last new tooling of this vehicle is Dragon’s 2007 kit – and Meng has [...]
