Heinkel He 177 "Greif": Now and then

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

The revolutionary German heavy bomber that had two engines driving one propeller shaft received the attention of model makers over the years. In 1967, Airfix came out with an impressive 1/72nd scale that was highly detailed by comparison [...]

A ha'porth of tar

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on March 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

The title comes from the saying 'spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar' which sums this kit up very well. Some magnificent detail and high quality molding let down by poor attention to accuracy and what can only be described as general [...]

HMS Belfast 1943, Trumpeter 1/700

by NAOKI YAMANAKA on March 9, 2024 · in Ships · 14 ≡

It's been a while since I posted. This time it's HMS Belfast. This is a ship that reminds me of when I worked in London about 25 years ago. My office faced the Thames, and seeing her was my daily life. She was actually there wearing this [...]

1/72 TBD-1 Devastators

by Michael Smith on March 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I have been collecting 1/72 Devastators in my stash for the past couple of years with an aim towards upgrading my current George Gay TBD-1 at Midway, and this double build represents an effort to clear the backlog of kits and decals before [...]

Atlantis American Bison

Built this Atlantis (ex-Aurora) American Bison model for a good friend’s Christmas present. Nothing out of the ordinary when building it, but it was great fun! Brian Riedel

SOMETHING DIFFERENT – CAVE BEAR FROM THE ICE AGE

by Kevin M. Batterman on March 7, 2024 · in Figures · 16 ≡

Since I was 5 and got a book on dinosaurs which also mentioned the La Brea Tarpits in LA, CA. Since then Megafauna of the Ice Age have fascinated me. This is a resin 1/10 scale Cave Bear produced by Paleocraft and stands about 17 inches [...]

Tamiya 1/35 Carro Armato M13/40

by Derek Bowen on March 7, 2024 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Here's my third tank build. The kit overall went together well. The only complaint I have about the kit is I still haven't figured out how to install linked tracks correctly because they seem to be about 1-2mm too short to connect them [...]
