Mig-23 Part Deux. How to beat a dead horse

Not trying to be repetitive here, but I shot some better photos of my 1/48 Trumpeter Mig-23.

We get by with a little help from our friends.........

by Ian Bartlett on March 4, 2016 · in Uncategorized · 10 ≡

Hi Everyone, This is Jess, one of our two cats, and yes, curiosity may well kill her one day... Whenever I am man caving she joins in, either trying to "help' as she is in the picture ("what about pink for this one Dad?" or [...]

Box scale oldies

by Robert Royes on March 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Here are a pair of box scale oldies I recently completed, the A-5A Vigilante from Monogram and the A-3D Skywarrior from Revell, I tried tweaking both of them with a little detail. I used the kit decals from the A-5 as you can tell from the [...]

1:48 Scale Eduard, F6F-5, “Hellcat”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Not going to get in too much of a chat with this one, as I already have written about their F6F-3. Same build experience with this one. Great overall detail most of the time, and could be improved upon in others. It's an excellent [...]

by George Williams on March 3, 2016 · in Automotive · 21 ≡

Back to safe ground, four wheels, and wings for keeping it on the ground. This is Tamiya's 1/24 kit of the Peugeot 206 World Rally Car which won both the drivers' and manufacturers' world championships in 2002. Having had much success [...]

Monogram 1/48 A6M5 Zero

by Kipling Mitchell on March 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The Monogram A6M5 Zero is a very simple model. It has no real cockpit detail, a one piece canopy, and you can see through it looking from below through the wheel wells, when the landing gear is down. But when I was 14 years old, I won my [...]

1:48 Scale Tamiya, F4U-1, "Corsair"

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Tamiya's F4U in 1:48 scale is a beautiful model, that pretty much builds itself. Fit and finish of the parts is awesome, and the only issue I have found with building these kits, is with building the wing deployed. You MUST be careful of [...]

1:48 scale, Eduard F6F-3, “Hellcat”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 2, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Decent kit of Grumman's fighter, and a pleasure to build. I thought it had excellent exterior detail. The prop was a little disappointing, as was the cockpit. I thought they could been better, but at least Eduard captured the look of [...]
