Tiger II s.H.Pz.Abt 505

by Stan Traas on February 5, 2016 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Here is the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger II with the excellent resin zimmerit from ATAK Model. I used about half of the Hauler P-E set, and lenses were added to both Hauler and scratch built periscopes. Grab handles and headlight conduit were added [...]

3ft P-51

by Dennis Meyers on February 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

1:72 Hasagawa P-51 Mk. III. Did this kit to try out low tech techniques. All bush painted. The outside camo was done by painting on multiple coats of thinned acrylics with two wide flat brushes. No extra detailing, PE or resin [...]

1/32 Hasegawa Messerschmitt Bf-109G 6 Red 8 ”Mosquito chaser”

by Tolga ULGUR on February 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is Kurt Gabler's Messerschmitt Bf-109G 6 Red 8 III./JG300, in July 1944. Red 8 was a standard camouflaged machine with a 'stripped-down' (sanded) finish for an extra turn of speed. But there are still some areas of paint over the [...]

Mirage IIIO

by IAN JACKSON on February 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hi everyone HNY from a very warm (27deg) & sunny Middle Zealand. So this project is a sort of 'getting back to basics' build. Initially I started it back in April'ish last year, then after just two sessions, boxed it all up and found [...]

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 [...]

Macchi MC.202 Folgore (Hasegawa 1/72)

by Dmitry Stropalov on February 1, 2016 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This model is my attempt to paint WWII Italian D2B camo pattern. I like Italian aircrafts of that time, but this camo was a blocker. Of course it should be improved, but I'm not scared anymore. Completely OOB build, I've only added seat [...]
