by NAOKI YAMANAKA on March 30, 2024 · in Ships · 11 ≡

Today I would like to upload the IJN destroyer Yukikaze. This is my first 1/350 trial. I used the Tamiya kit as a base and Infini model detail up parts. IJN Yukikaze is famous as a ship that survived the fierce battles of the Pacific War, [...]

1/48 Tamiya FW-190

by David Butler on March 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

I got this as a gift a few months back. I don't normally do German aircraft as I am scared off by the complex camo schemes but I decided to give it a go. This was enjoyable because I was just focused on a nice result not super realism- I [...]

1/72 Marine SBD-1 Dauntless

by Michael Smith on March 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

A couple of years ago I replaced my Airfix "Sail12" SBD-3 Dauntless (below) with a better Hasegawa kit. Rather than leave the old kit sitting on the obsoletes shelf I repainted and redecaled it for 2-MB-1, the commander's [...]

Kinetic 1/48 S-2E Tracker

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

by Greg Fabian on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

My latest attempt at model building is this 1/48 scale Eduard FM-1 Wildcat. Of the six or so different paint schemes, I chose this one representing VC-1 stationed on the USS Block Island (CVE-21) in 1943. On May 29, 1944, Block Island was [...]

Academy 1/48 F-111E

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 53 ≡

The origins of the F-111 can be traced back to the early 60s, when both the USAF and USN were seeking their new supersonic, heavily armed, twin seat, twin engine aircraft, where Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, formally directed [...]

1/72 ICM OV-10D

by Steven Corvi on March 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is my IPMS review of the ICM 1/72 OV-10D Gulf War version. This was a nice build but you can read my particulars at the IPMS USA Review: (link) IT is nicely detailed but has few things to watch out for; nose weight to avoid tail [...]
