Morko Morane

by Marek Halas on December 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

MPM's 1/48 Finnish Morko Morane of HLeLv 21 based in Rissala, Summer 1946. A real oddball this one, & some folks may already be doing a double take at this point, possibly thinking isn't that a Morane Saulnier MS 406? Well, yes it is [...]

HPH B-36 Peacemaker In Table Crushing 1/48 Scale!

by Josh Patterson on December 1, 2017 · in Uncategorized · 16 ≡

HPH has gone all out now. The kit I have been dreaming about since childhood that everyone said no one would ever make just got released today. HPH was at Telford, but I don't know if they brought a prototype with them. (At least I havent [...]

Airfix Defiant in 1/72

by Ian Dewar on December 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Hearing of the new Airfix 1/48th Defiant NF.1., I was minded I had the recent tool 1/72 one in my stash. In fact I've been planning off and on to build this as part of my Battle of Britain series for quite some time but other projects kept [...]

by iModeler Youtube Picks on December 1, 2017 · in How-to

This video is dedicated to, Jeremy Howison-Haworth, who supplied the kit for this build. Admittedly I was nervous to start this project, but now that it's finished I've gone and ordered another one. This is an amazingly well detailed kit [...]

FFG Imperial Assault AT-ST

by Aaron Newlands on December 1, 2017 · in Sci-fi · 4 ≡

As this piece is from a miniature game the build is quite rudimentary. A handful of parts snap together tightly and don't require glue. Overall its not too bad especially if space is a big limitation for you. It has decent detail though [...]

1/48 Hobby Boss A-10 Thunderbolt II

by Robert Collins on December 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is one I built some years ago but as far as I can remember there was no problems with it. The only thing you must remember to do is to put a large weight in the nose or it will sit on its tail.

Tamiya 1/48th MiG-15 N. Korean Air Force, Korean War 1952

by Chuck A. Villanueva on December 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

To say the nifty Tamiya Mig-15 was a joy to build would not say enough how fun it was to build. Though reading that the tail is more MiG-17 than how the -15 should be is the only negative point of the kit that has been brought up on some [...]

1/48 Hobbycraft T-33/TV-2D Naval T-bird

by Drew Tarter on November 30, 2017 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

My last build was an extensive reworking and upgrading of the 1/48 Monogram F-8E Crusader. The kit fought me the entire time, plus I made a lot of frustrating mistakes. So this time, I wanted a quick, relaxing, trouble-free build, before [...]
