Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk1

by Scott Brelsford on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 45 ≡

Hey fellow modelers. With great excitement I am proud to bring you my latest and 3rd build. This project was one of three Xmas gifts received from my daughter. I'm a lucky guy 🙂 I started the build somewhere in the Twighlight zone [...]

HobbyBoss C-47 Skytrain 1/72

by George V Guimaraes on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Hi there! This is my latest project, the iconic WW2 workhorse. This is a decent kit for the scale with good fitting in general. Decals are good, but there are just a few of them; not a single stencil or whatsoever. Invasion stripes and the [...]

News you can use....

by Tom Cleaver on January 23, 2024 · in News · 5 ≡

The latest email from Squadron shows the Magic Factory F4U-1A/F4U-2 Corsair kit available for $69.99 - that's competitive price-wise with the Tamiya Corsairs, with more detail offered. There was a point where @#$#@#@! Stevens International [...]

Rhodesian G Car FN MAG

by Roan Honywill on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Being the aviation geek I am, and the son of Rhodesian parents, I've had an affinity towards the days of old and what went on during that time period. This drove me to do a Rhodesian Alouette 3 G Car with an FN MAG. A bit different from [...]

Heller 4.5lt blower Bentley 1/24

by IAN Convey on January 23, 2024 · in Automotive · 16 ≡

The most successful of British race cars of the 1920's would be the Bentleys, however the 1929 4.5lt blower Bentley did not live up to expectations on the race track and only 50 cars were built. The cars weighted around 2 tonne and the 240 [...]

Revell 1/32 Alouette II

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Revell's oldie Alouette is a basic kit but still, a complex build. I added many scratch made parts such as pipes, wires and rods to enhance the look of the engine and rotor mechanism.

De Havilland DHC-3 Otter

by Chas Bunch on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Here’s my build of the Hobbycraft DHC-3 Otter in 1:48. It was a garage sale kit that a friend sent me. I decided to build it as a Civil bush floatplane. The DHC-3 was developed by De Havilland Canada in early 1951 as a larger and more [...]

Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 Abrams

by David Mozley on January 22, 2024 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I will fully admit armor models intimidate me. I can get through the basic build, paint endless road wheels, and get the basic colors down. Weathering an armored vehicle is where cold sweat builds on my forehead. But like any '80s kid [...]

Albatros D.XI, Karaya, 1:48, test pilot Lt. Heinrich Henkel, Jasta 37, 8 victories

by Milan Tesař on January 22, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I wanted to build a one off model of a lesser known aircraft type without strings, but how wrong I was. The hull was built excellently, everything fit and I only added a few details. But then I found out that five of the eleven cylinders [...]
