Revell He-162 1/32

by Nguyen Huy Hoang on January 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is to prove that I'm just not love radial 😀 The kit is Revell He 162 Salamander built OOB sometimes ago. I couldn't acess to any aftermarket items so a lot of scratchbuild details. I have made a terrible mistake with this model, [...]

1/48 AMT A-20B Havoc

by Tom Bebout on January 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Long time no post so here's my latest in the A-20 Havoc line of aircraft. Seems I have an unusual attraction to the A-20. To date I've built the C and G models and now the B for your review. Seems that most B's went to the Russians so I [...]

Fujimi 1/70 Kawasaki KI-61 Hien (Tony)

by Joe Caputo on January 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This ancient kit (note:1/70) was given to me by a "friend" who had no need to add this relic to his collection and chose not to throw it away. Since I had no WWII Japanese aircraft in my 1/72 collection, I thought I would play [...]

Spent this morning out at the CAF Museum in Camarillo with David P. and Chris McCampbell, son and grandson of Navy Ace of Aces Dave McCampbell. The CAF guys gave us a really nice tour, and even cranked up that loverly R-2800. I can [...]

Building Big Daddy Roth's Outlaw

by Jack Mugan on January 18, 2015 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

Back around 1959 Ed Roth got an idea for a real cool car. He started with basic '29 Ford rails and a junk Caddy engine, added some plaster of Paris, fiberglass, lots of chrome and automotive history was made. According to Ed Roth, the car [...]

Scratch built MRAP with full working suspension.

by California Steve on January 18, 2015 · in Uncategorized · 16 ≡

I have been working on this project for over a year off and on. So long I managed to blow out a headlight and loose the wiper blades along the way. So I am just going to post her up. This, except for the wheels and machine gun and crew is [...]

Challenger 1 mk 3

by Richard Mcstay on January 18, 2015 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I've been promising this one for a while! Sorry for the delay, I thought this would be finished ages ago, but you know how it is! Plus I thought I'd best leave it for a bit after Bernd's show winning Challenger, I wasn't in a hurry to [...]

BF 109 and sponge mottling

by John Richards on January 18, 2015 · in Aviation, Uncategorized · 10 ≡

This BF 109 Emil is one of the first planes I have done since returning to the hobby after 30 years. I do still paint by hand using a brush, which provides a few challenges. The mottling camo on the sides of this Emil was produced by [...]

BF 109 E-3 Tamiya 1/48 scale

by John Richards on January 17, 2015 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is a BF 109 E-3. German 109s are a bit of an obsession with me. I love them all. I built and brush painted this one by hand using Model Master enamels. I did not follow the recommended call outs for the camo. I used RLM 70/71 [...]
