Thank You from January Random Winner

by Dennis Meyers on February 2, 2016 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

Thank you Martin for the great prize. I don't have a good track record of winning random drawings. So, this was a special surprise and a really beautiful kit. Haven't built a plane bigger than 72 scale for a long while. But I have [...]

Almost ready for paint!

by Rob Anderson on February 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

So this will probably be the last pre-paint COD post, still some bits-n-bobs to add, but I am closing in. I added notes to the pictures so I won't describe them all here!

Aircraft Group Build, Anyone?

by Greg Kittinger on February 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I enjoy an occasional group build - being forced to build something that wasn't in my current line up of to-build projects. My local club averages 1 group build a year, but thought it would be fun to see if any other aircraft modelers in [...]

Shelby Cobra Jagermeister Racing

by Richard Mcstay on February 2, 2016 · in Automotive · 30 ≡

Here's a quick build before I go away back to work for the remainder of the month. Apologies again for defacing another classic. The kit was originally the Fujimi 1/24 of the Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. I threw the instruction book away and went [...]

1924 Fiat ‘Mefistofele’

by Rob Pollock on February 1, 2016 · in Automotive · 42 ≡

This is Italeri's 1/12 version of the original 1975 Protar kit. In 1908, Fiat introduced a chain-driven Grand Prix racing car which they dubbed the SB4. It was used in competition and that is where Sir Ernest Eldridge from Britain saw it [...]

Tamiya 1/32 Scale A6M-2b Type 21 Zeke “Zero”

by George Tufnail on January 31, 2016 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is my totally out of the box build of the kit I won at the 2013 Oregon Historical Modellers Show at McMinnville. The markings I chose of the 7 included are for NAP1/c Tsuguo Matsuyama, of Air Superiority Command, 2nd Strike Unit, [...]
