by Tom Bebout on July 31, 2015 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit that I purchased at a show several years ago. Had previously done the Revell kit but was never quite satisfied with how it looked, so I thought I would try Tamiya. Really went together quite well only thing [...]

by Maurits De Ridder on July 31, 2015 · in Ships · 12 ≡

Hello all, Time for a ship! I'd like to present the SMS Emden from Revell. I bought the duo package with SMS Dresden and one day I'll build the Dresden in mat grey. SMS Emden had quite a sail in WW1, just a bit over 100 years ago. See wiki [...]

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire VIII

by Tom Cleaver on July 30, 2015 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

While the Spitfire IX was both better-known and produced in far larger numbers, the Spitfire VIII represents the high-point of development of the Merlin-powered Spitfire variants. Basically an unpressurized Mk.VII, the Spitfire VIII had [...]

This is the old Hasegawa kit I did a few years ago. Still looks sharp. I think I might try to set up another shoot with the new Canon.

by Greg Kittinger on July 28, 2015 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Having just viewed Milan's beautifully done Grace, and having not posted in some time (still racking up hours decalling my MiG-31...), I decided to yank this out of my display case and post it, just to have a couple versions of the Grace [...]

Fujimi 1/72 Aichi B7A1, Ryusei Grace

by Milan Vukovic on July 28, 2015 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Ryusei due to its long development never reached its intended role as carrier bomber. Very large plane with inverted gull wings is certainly interesting as modelling subject. Fujimi's kit is tipical mid-'80s, with subtle engraved details, [...]
