by Bernard Wylie on October 30, 2016 · in Ships · 30 ≡

I haven't posted much on iModeler lately, heck, it's been about 18 months since my last post! Time flies! In my defence I have to say I've had a major career change that has kept me busy, not too busy to build but too busy to take proper [...]

1/48 AMT F7F Tigercat

by Louis Gardner on October 29, 2016 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This is another one of my favorite planes. This one was built with the addition of a set of True Details resin wheels. I had heard some of the horror stories about how the wheels fall apart after a while so I replaced them right off the [...]

1/48 Airfix Buccaneer "Sea Witch Debbie"

by John Martincevic on October 28, 2016 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Not a fall together kit, but with experience should pose no problems building. Definitely need a new tooled Brick! As our British cousins say "the only thing going lower than the Bucc is a submarine!"

by John Martincevic on October 28, 2016 · in Aviation · 9 ≡
