1/48 Revell F-86D Sabre Dog

by David Butler on March 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here is Revell's 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog built entirely OOB and finished with Vallejo acrylics. It is a really nice kit with engraved panel lines, good fit, and nice detail in the wheel wells. The only trouble I had with the build was in the [...]

Wingnut Wings 1/32 Sopwith Pup RFC

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Wingnut Wings Sopwith Pup boasts with excellent surface detail. Yet, since it is a bi-lane from WWI it requires comprehensive wiring for control cables, engine ignition wires, and fuselage bracing wires. Wings assembly is tricky. All the [...]

HMS Prince of Wales 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

by NAOKI YAMANAKA on March 17, 2024 · in Ships · 10 ≡

This is one of my favourite ships, but I have hesitated to post it because, after all, I had built it a bit long time ago. To be honest, it was my first Flyhawk kit and my first attempt at rigging. Again, as before, I cheated with the [...]

All his own work

by George Williams on March 17, 2024 · in Armor · 37 ≡

One of my students here in China likes tanks and guns, and is interested in my models, so I decided to let him have a try at building this Tamiya 1/35 scale Mutt. He had never done anything like this before. The instructions are in [...]

Spanish Emil

by Chas Bunch on March 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I recently built a couple of models from Wingsy Kits and was impressed with their quality and detail. I didn’t have a 109E in my SCW collection, so decided to do another Wingsy kit. A few Bf-109E-1s and E-3s arrived in Spain just [...]

Airways 1/16 Wright Flyer 1903

by Steve Hawley on March 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I’m usually a plastic and putty kind of modeler but I’ll have to admit, this kit was fun. NOT because this kit had everything in the box I needed. On the contrary, the kit was fun because I was challenged to build 90% from scratch. [...]

Sino-Japanese War...1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 10, Chinese Nationalist Airforce

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on March 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The second of three I-16 my dad finished since the new year started. Eduard kit, decals are a mix of Begemot and Blue Rider, painted with AK RC AII Green and Blue. Used 0,4mm plastic rods for the landing gear retraction cables. Build [...]

Dieppe Hurricane: my take on Arma Hobby favourite

by Pedro L. Rocha on March 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 42 ≡

Bought this kit directly from the maker during their pre-sale deal simply because of box art. Fact is I’ve been wanting to build a 1/48 Hurricane for too long, and getting a 4 cannon gunboat MK.IIc with an unusual (and very weathered) [...]
