Messerspit 1/48

by Josef Rössner on March 22, 2025 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Since my love is Spitfires in all their forms, I definitely had to have this German hybrid on my shelf. I chose the Mk.Vb kit from Tamiya and the conversion kit from LF models. It was not a good choice. The resin was bad, full of bubbles. [...]

by Josef Rössner on March 22, 2025 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Maryland Mk.I AR733,RAF No.69 Squadron,Lupa airfield,Malty, January 1942 This aircraft was used,except other pilots,by A.Warburton. The kit is classically short run, which means more work, but at the same time more joy after completion. [...]

G.W.H. 1/48 P-61A Black Widow

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 22, 2025 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A complex and highly detailed kit that does justice with the outstanding fighter. Panel lines are finely engraved and the fit of parts is very good. The revised kit had the engine and cowls issues fixed. However, there are many small [...]

by Juan Ravizzoli on March 22, 2025 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

New project completed. This time it's an F-86 sabre of the Argentine Air Force, a kit that I had on hold for a long time. The F-86 was in service in the FAA between 1960 and 1986. First without paint scheme, with the natural bare metal. [...]

The old truck keeps on going...

by Rob Anderson on March 22, 2025 · in Uncategorized · 10 ≡

A very old kit of a very old truck. Original issue Monogram MAC Bulldog stake truck. I remember seeing an old rusted out one out in afield at my aunt's farm in the '70s. Not much was left of that one, blackberries were growing through [...]

"Big John" Phase One

by Robert Knaack on March 22, 2025 · in Automotive · 14 ≡

Over the past six years I have been building every 1/24 or 1/25 scale model tractor I could find, and as far as I know have pretty much built them all (and posted the articles here on iModeler). Unfortunately, none of the available kits [...]

Challenger Tribute

by Joe Boylan on March 21, 2025 · in Space · 7 ≡

Boy was this kit a "journey". I believe the molds were originally Monogram and came out in the late 70's, maybe earlier? All the "horrors" of this kit Illustrated on YouTube are TRUE! Terrible fit. I did a lot of [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A6M3 Zero Fighter Type 22

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on March 20, 2025 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The 1/48th scale Zero model variants had been produced by several manufacturers. Most models are excellent representations of the aircraft with accurate dimensions and fine details. Hasegawa's mold is true to the form.

Hasegawa 1/72nd Scale AV-8B+

by Bruce Archer on March 20, 2025 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Hi All! In addition to Spitfires, Allison Mustangs, and Zippers I also like Harriers. It does not matter if they are prototypes, 1st Generation or 2nd Generation Harriers, I like them all. And I hope to build all of the types and countries [...]
