1/72 Italeri; Bell-206B Jetranger, Croatian Air Force

by Boris Grgić on August 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

An easy kit to build, but it was a painting challenge. It was the tiniest model I've made (cca 12-13cm) which made masking job very difficult. For example painted sqares are 4x4mm and it took a lot of tryouts before I managed to line them [...]

Monogram 1/48 P-39 as a Portuguese P-39D 1943

by Dan DeSilva on August 5, 2017 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

I have always had an interest in Portuguese aircraft, as my parents are both from the Acores. This diorama was built as a curiosity for my dad, as he had always seen me building kits from my early teens up until I left the house when I got [...]

Around my home town of Eastbourne during August and September 1940, no less than 3 Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighters were brought down over land and probably many others were lost off the coast, unable to regain comparative safety in [...]

by Alfredo Cofré on August 4, 2017 · in Ships · 9 ≡

Hi, I'd like to show you a ship I built on 2015. This is the Hobbyboss RN Pola 1:350, converted to RC ship. The kit quality is awful and several parts had to be remade and redesigned from scratch, like the mast, tripod and anchors. The [...]

Tamiya FW-190 A3 > A2 1/72

by Andreas Fey on August 4, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡
