Ma K. 1/20 Archelon

by John Orenski on March 25, 2016 · in Sci-fi · 11 ≡

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 [...]

Italeri 1/48th Westland Wessex HAS 3

by mark poulton on March 25, 2016 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

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 [...]

Zhengdefu Missle Boat Type 021

by Joe Caputo on March 24, 2016 · in Ships · 11 ≡

First off, the scale is undetermined by me. It's not the advertised 1/72 but closer to 1/125-1/150th, perhaps 1/144th. It measures around 13" in length. The instructions leave a lot to be desired as the whole kit is built in 6 [...]

by Tom Cleaver on March 24, 2016 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

There is a saying in aviation design that, "if it looks right, it is right." While this is generally true, it was unfortunately not the case as regards the Heinkel He 51, which was a completely orthodox biplane of undistinguished [...]

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on March 24, 2016 · in Uncategorized · 2 ≡

At the Arboga missile museum one can play with some more simulators if one is not too tired after a full mission in the Saab J 35 B Draken sim. First is a genuine MOMSUL, (momentsimulator) simulating RB 05 missile shots on fixed or moving [...]

1/48 Koster/Revell PB4Y-2 Privateer

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 24, 2016 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This kit was an unintentional acquisition, part of a large swap. Prior to the build I had stayed away from vacu-form kits/conversions, convinced that I'd run out of talent shortly after unwrapping the boxes. (see WIP). Motivated by the [...]

1958 Impala 1st complete build for 2016

by Tony V on March 23, 2016 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Hello All...This is my first time posting on these forums so hopefully I'm doing things correctly. As far as this kit I really love this body style and all the chrome that came on it. This is the amt kit it went together pretty well all [...]
