Atlantis (ex-Aurora) "Classic Plastic" TWA DC-9, 72nd scale

by Marvin Reyes on August 13, 2017 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Filling the gaps – Special Hobby’s 1/48 T-2C Buckeye

by Boris Rakic on August 12, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I have a confession to make: I think I have a couple of screws loose. That is the only explanation I have for my overarching modeling theme - building a complete collection of US military hardware from the 1920s to present. Well, at least [...]
