Troublesome Hellcat

by Bert_j on June 3, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hi Folks: just finished the 1/72 Dragon F6F-3. I wanted to do the wing-fold for some time. The carrier deck is from Verlinden. However, at least with this kit, or my patience, I found the many parts fiddilly and the kit directions were not [...]

Revell 1/144 U-216: Type VIID U-Boat

by paul teixeira on June 3, 2018 · in Ships · 7 ≡

This is an "olde but goodie" model I built some time ago, maybe over 10 years ago. Once in a while I go into the basement and look at my old, dusty built models put away in storage. These models in storage are much older then [...]

Ansaldo A.1 Ballila – Progress 2

by Rob Pollock on June 3, 2018 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

A bit further along now. If you're wondering why these Progress reports aren't set up in WiP, there are only around 50 parts to this resin kit, and so I thought it unlikely to merit a full-blown WiP thread. This present post is in fact the [...]

by Dionyssis Vakalas on June 3, 2018 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

1/48 Tamiya Mosquito

by gary sausmikat on June 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Hi All, The Mosquito is my favorite aircraft and I would love to be able to get behind the stick some day. I won't be able to add much to all the things said about this Tamiya kit other than it was a pleasure to build, very smooth. I [...]

Hurricane Mk.I early (Airfix 1/72)

by Dmitry Stropalov on June 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Hi everybody! I have some issues with abnormal craving for early versions of a well-known aircraft – two-blade props, strange canopies like on an early Spitfire, strange camouflage patterns, and so on. And this is a very early Hurricane [...]

Tiger F-5E Swiss Air Force J-3001

by Hans Peter Tschanz on June 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

From 1973 a systematic analysis of the aircraft market and evaluation of several types took place. At an early stage, the Federal Council decided to focus the evaluation on one aircraft, the Tiger F-5E. After thorough testing, the Federal [...]

An Old Theme Revisited

by Derek Austin on June 2, 2018 · in Diorama · 37 ≡

Here is my interpretation of a meeting between the SAS and the LRDG! It uses the Tamiya 1/35 scale kits and was really a vehicle for me to try my hand at modeling desert terrain. Comments welcome as always!

Porsche 911 GT2

by IAN JACKSON on June 2, 2018 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Yep. another completed, but to be fair it was started long before the 350Z that I posted here a couple of weeks ago. So straight to the point, this is another Tamiya kit, and it is as ever superbly engineered, and fits just about [...]
