by René Hieronymus on May 29, 2016 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hard to believe but this almost unknown version was planned and ordered by the Navy even before its predecessor the first production AJ-1 was completed. 3 of this massive airframes were ordered, 2 for test-flights and a third one for [...]

1/72 Legato, finished in MM enamels with Future over the decals, I didn't like the kit offering so I built my own engine, not painted, just different colored plastic, shame you can't see it ! but I did take photos.

Monogram 1/32 Panzer Mk IV

by Ralph Clements on May 26, 2016 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This kit has been on my shelf over a year so after finishing my last build I decided it was time for this. I was a bit perturbed when I realized it was 1/32, not 1/35 like like my other two tanks...I like consistency of scale... Anyway it [...]

Tamiya 1/32 Mk XVIe Spitfire 349 sqdn

by Paul Wilsford on May 26, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I know it has been aeons since I have posted anything worth while that I would consider finished or that may be shown here in these pages. The last time I completed this model was a few years ago and it turned out rather hum drum. Then a [...]

Tamiya A-1H Skyraider 1/48 scale

by Mike Still on May 26, 2016 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

1/72 Hobby Boss Mi 4 Hound (White 03)

by Phil Steele on May 25, 2016 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Finally got this finished, and she's a fairly long model, even in 1/72 scale. This is the second Hobby Boss chopper I've built, and I was a bit disappointed with the kit. The fit of the parts wasn't bad, but detail painting was absent in [...]
