by Frederick J Seitz III on March 27, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

After seeing Terry's beautiful D3A2 model posted yesterday, I thought I'd stick my neck out with one I had built a few years back. It's a terrific model, that fits well, and a subject that really needed to be updated, considering that the [...]

by Ralph Clements on March 27, 2016 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Happy Easter everyone! I have built around 30 models in the past couple of years, mostly WWII aircraft plus a couple of ships and tanks. These are all interesting subjects for me, but I have no personal experience with them. I mean you [...]

As with most model guys, I strive to find that different and / or unusual scheme , that sparks a little more interest or attraction to one's project. Scanning books and the internet for Japanese aircraft, especially those few samples that [...]

I started looking at these kits a few years ago and eventually ended up picking up 4 or 5 of them in a short period of time. I usually build aircraft but there is just something about this series that drew me in. This kit in particular is [...]

AMT/Ertl Vinyl Rancor

by George Tufnail on March 25, 2016 · in Sci-fi · 8 ≡

I started this kit by heating and trimming all of the over pours of vinyl, then filling the legs with pre-mixed drywall plaster for weight. The parts all fit very well, with a judicious application of a hot hair dryer and a mix of thin [...]

The Wessex has long held a great deal of interest for me and was a mainstay of the Fleet Air Arm for several years. My father spent many years working on them as a Air Fitter and ended up a CPO. Many happy memories of a boyhood spent [...]
