iModeler Review: Trumpeter 1/35 Tiger I late w/Zimmerit (09540) – Part 1

by Boris Rakic on March 2, 2018 · in Reviews · 16 ≡

Let’s face it: The Tiger I has to be one of the most kitted tanks in the history of scale modeling. A quick check on the interwebs shows the impressive number of 96 different kits from at least 14 different manufacturers, and we are only [...]

Airfix Fiat G.91 R-1, 1/72

by Greg Kittinger on March 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Just finished this for a club '50s group build. It was a very simple kit, but lacking in detail - no interior at all. The "seat" provided was replaced by one from the spares box, and I added wire ejection pulls. Pilot was [...]

Tamiya 1/35 M40 Self-Propelled 155mm Gun.

by paul teixeira on March 2, 2018 · in Armor · 3 ≡

The M40 is a fairly new release for Tamiya and it is AWESOME! This model OOB is a dream to build full of intensive detail, outstanding engineering, and excellent fit. It even includes the full firing crew figures which are some of the [...]

Trumpeter 1/35 M198 155mm Towed Howitzer (Late)

by paul teixeira on March 2, 2018 · in Armor · 4 ≡

This is the 1st and only stand alone cannon I ever built. I enjoy taking on different subjects and this fit the bill. This was a fairly easy, average level build appropriate for all model makers with a bit of PE bending experience. It [...]

Fw-190S-8 (conversion) – 1/32 Hasegawa

by Tom Cleaver on March 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the assembled test shot (and only example) of the drop-fit Fw-190S-8 resin conversion for the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw-190A-8, created by the amazing Dave Thompson (test shot built by me). The former President of the Erie PA Hells Angels, [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 Fw-190D-13 (conversion)

by Tom Cleaver on March 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hard to believe that the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw-190D-9 kit has been around since 2004, but it has. From back then, the Fw-190D-13 made with a Jerry Rutman resin conversion. “Yellow 10" Interestingly, the one-and-only Fw-190D-13 to see [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fw 190D-9

by Tom Rodgers on March 2, 2018 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

WIP: Eduard 1/48 Fw 190D-9, Klaus Faber’s “Rot 13”, JV44 Platzshutzstaffel. Using EagleCals#14 for markings but decided to paint the stripes instead of using the provided white stripe decals. Red tends to bleed through white decals [...]

1/32nd FG-1A Corsair

by Jim Sullivan on March 1, 2018 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

I suspect most any modeler who has been at it for a while decides to take on a challenge to do something a bit off the beaten track. I've always been attracted to the F4U Corsair and have lost track of how many of them I've built over the [...]

1/35 Tamiya M60A1 USMC MBT with Reactive Armor: Desert Warrior

by paul teixeira on March 1, 2018 · in Armor · 8 ≡

The M60 series although outdated is still my favorite tank of all time. I think it just looks like a MBT and to me represents an outstanding war machine of the cold-war era. It has that heavy, rough, and tough look that represents USMC [...]
