by Paul van Acker on September 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Shot down during the Battle of Britian, it was actually assigned to a bomber unit. KG55. Interesting history of a fighter operating in a bomber unit, and still getting shot down over England. Some references say it was an "E" [...]

by Paulo Castro on September 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

For the first time in more than 25 years I've built an 1/48th scale model. My entire collection is on 72nd scale. This was a Kris-Kringle present and I decided to build it despite not being my preferred scale. So here we go! This new [...]

Pegasus solid vinyl 1953 ‘War of the Worlds’ Martian

by George Tufnail on September 2, 2016 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡

This is the Martian from George Pal's 1953 movie 'War of the Worlds'. This kit was a fairly simple build. I base coated it in Tamiya spray bomb fine grey primer. After that, the hardest part was hand painting all of the veins and [...]

by Rob Anderson on August 31, 2016 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Continuing on with my Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1A Jolly Rogers Corsair, wow what a kit. As others have said it is better engineered than their Mustang. Not a shake and bake, but just beautiful. So far the only extras are the Barracuda cockpit [...]

This my first and last resin kit, I started this kit about ten years ago, After trimming the fuselage halves and finding how brittle this stuff is and a permanent warp in the fuselage, I shelved it. Since getting more active in modeling, I [...]

1/72 Revell Mirage 2000D

by Emre Tuzun on August 30, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

The kit was built OOB, without much hassle. Even though the kit was released in 2014, I am little disappointed with the quality of the kit. At the end of the day, it is 1/72, but new tooling from Revell should have been better [...]
