Panzer I Ausf A, Takom 1/35

by Derek Bowen on June 12, 2024 · in Armor · 8 ≡

This was my first Takom kit and loved it. No problems whatsoever with the assembly. I'm still learning how to assemble track & link tracks so made a few mistakes with that. The kit comes with decals for four different options. This [...]

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1a

by Felix on June 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Today is a very good day because i did and completed what every scale modeller should do at some point: Build a Spitfire. This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a in 48th scale. It is in the markings of 611th squadron in [...]

G.W.H. 1/48 T-33A Shooting Star

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on June 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

GWH's Shooting Star is a very nice kit. It featured finely recessed panel lines and is relatively simple to build. Some shape anomality was attributed to the tail unit. The front nose cover part requires sanding to fit with the rest of the [...]

"Britain's Beast!" -- Tamiya Mk IV Male

by Graeme Street on June 11, 2024 · in Armor · 17 ≡

Another fantastic kit from Tamiya. A joy to build, especially the tracks. Totally OTB and nothing added except many, many (many) hours and sessions of weathering and layering. I threw lots and lots of stuff at this beast. Pigments, [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A-1H Skyraider

by Spiros Pendedekas on June 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 66 ≡

The Skyraider was a late WWII Douglas design to fulfill the United States Navy requirements for a carrier-based, single-seat, long-range, high performance dive/torpedo bomber that would be a follow-on to the Dauntlesses, Helldivers and [...]

Academy 1/48 P-40N Warhawk (ex Mauve)

by Ruben A. Torres Borrego on June 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Improved with the Eduard PE set for this kit, Master metal cannons, and a Cutting Edge resin reflector sight (OOP), and scratchbuilt details on the cockpit. I used an old Super Scale decal sheet following most of its painting guide. This [...]

Panzer Werkstatt, France, 1944, 3/s.H.Pz. Abt. 503

by Jarmo P on June 10, 2024 · in Diorama · 20 ≡

Couple of years old diorama. With this thing I forgot old saying that less is more, so there is surely more... Without any hesitation I decided to put "all in" and see what happens. And this was the outcome. This is also kind of [...]

No Future

by Andreas on June 10, 2024 · in Diorama · 8 ≡

After Marty flew to far into future he recognised there was no hope so the time machine was forgotten

My inspiration came from a shirt I saw and I thought it would be fun to put it into a diorama. The DeLorean model by Aoshina is not [...]

USAF F-86E Record-Setter: 1/48 Italeri F-86E

by George R Blair Jr on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]

1/144 Platz P-51D

by Steven Corvi on June 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the Platz 1/144 P-51D. This continues to add to my 1/144 collection. These Platz kits [1/144 P-47, A-4 Skyhawk & F-8 Crusader] are very nice and make into great little displays. Steve
