Testors Weird-ohs "Hodad Making The Scene"

by Joe Caputo on July 25, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

"Lookin' good is OK, but can he ride the tall wave? All the chatter comes easy, but the surf's for the brave", or so the box art says... Our 13 year old grand daughter, Kim, is visiting from Texas. With a model club meeting [...]

Building the 1/8th Scale Tamiya Suzuki RGV-L

by Jack Mugan on July 25, 2014 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

There is something to be said about building out of one's comfort zone. I know absolutely nothing about racing motorcycles (and still don't), but I have seen some built here on imodeler and thought they looked incredible. So when I ran [...]

Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader…

by Robert Bausch on July 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The Vought F-8 Crusader has always been a favorite of mine. It has to me some of the same classic look as the Hawker Hunter does. And it was one of the greatest Navy fighters ever, a fitting jet descendant of the famous Vought F4U Corsair. [...]

Orange you glad you aren't trying to match this scheme?

by Rob Anderson on July 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

So I am well on the way to what I am currently calling the "clownfish" scheme for my HU-16C. White, yellow and fluorescent orange are done. I may "red" up the orange a bit, but looking at the two color pictures of [...]

A.K.A. “Val”

by Ralph Clements on July 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Here is my just completed Aichi D3A1 Type 99 dive bomber, AKA “Val”. It is a Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit, no ‘aftermarket’ stuff unless you count the seat belts which are aftermarket masking tape, or some of the markings, which I [...]

Off-Topic – RIP my favorite actor

by Tom Cleaver on July 21, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 13 ≡

James Garner's favorite "James Garner moment" from his favorite of the movies he made. Mine too. The words may have been written by the best screenwriter ever, Paddy Chayefsky, but the words come from the mouth of a man who [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fokker DVII

by Paul Mahoney on July 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is one I did a while back - my first 1/48 WW1 subject. One of Eduard's (then) new and improved line of WW1 kits. I think it was released in 2005 or so. I recall this one just coming together effortlessly. It was a lot of fun to [...]
