1/48 F-106B

by John Healy on October 2, 2015 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

Finished another one! This is the very new Trumpeter two-seat Dart. It's a kit I really looked forward to and started it when I received it in early July. It's a nice kit, that assembles well, with a few flaws. The biggest issue to me [...]

Just completed. Hope you like. Added Fu-200 radar. Rest is out of the box. It was a fun paint job and build. And as always, the last pic refuses to upload the right side up. Always happens... Wtf...:)

1/48 Xuntong Tu-2T

by Bryan W. Bernart on October 1, 2015 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Xuntong's first effort is my rendition of a Soviet Pacific Fleet member from 1946. Too late for the second World War, it served in several eastern bloc air forces in a number of roles. While mostly a pleasure to build, it did suffer from [...]

F 84 E Academy 1/72 . 2 years old...

by Simon Whitney on October 1, 2015 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Well here it is, started 2 years ago and now finished. Not so much a hard kit, just other builds came along. Tamiya and Alcad paints were used along with Vallejo varnishes. The kit decals were s***, but I used the stencils from them. The [...]

Starting to paint figures.

by John Richards on September 30, 2015 · in Figures · 19 ≡

I have been adding figures to my models to crease the look and feel. I have practiced and now I am satisfied with my style and way of painting figures. I do not do it the most artistic way. At first I sat with a book and webpages open [...]

COD HELP US!

by Rob Anderson on September 29, 2015 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Well I haven't posted in a while, I got moved (finally) back to day shift, and in the meantime I have been plugging away at my C-2. One of the first things I did was get the shape of the APU exhaust opening the right shape, Kinetic has it [...]

ARII 1/48 Nakajima Ki 44 "Shoki" (Tojo)

by Joe Caputo on September 29, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The Ki 44 was a Japanese Army Air Force interceptor. The ARII kit, while old, was at one time, "state of the art", and is still a no-problem, fun build. By today's standards, there's not much detail, but this kit comes from a [...]
