Hasegawa 1/48 F4U-7 Corsair

by Tom Cleaver on August 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The United States had the chance in 1945 to avoid 55 years of history, the deaths of over 58,000 Americans, several million Vietnamese and other Southeast Asians, and the self-confidence of America as a country. All that had to be done was [...]

Lockheed F 104 C

by Morne Meyer on August 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Hasegawa's 1/48 scale rendition of Kelly Johnson's manned missile. This has to be the most colourful F 104 C ever. It depicts the first F 104 C that was delivered to Tactical Air Command at George AFB. I might be wrong, but I think it was [...]

LA County Sheriff Patrol Car

by California Steve on August 24, 2014 · in Automotive · 23 ≡

Well this one happened quite by accident, (no pun intended) I was at the Hobby People in Santa Clarita California talking models with the Dudes when in walked a LA County Sheriff sergeant. It was like the western movies when the sheriff [...]

Revell Ford T 1910 in 1/32

by Milan D. on August 24, 2014 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

This kit is part of the Revell highway pioneers (for cars included), old kit from the 80's. Done almost 60% from the scratch (windshields and frames, front suspension, horn, retractable top, steering wheel, ...) After this one, I am not [...]

Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat

by Morne Meyer on August 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This 1/48 scale Hellcat carries the distinctive markings from VF-27. Definitely the most ferocious looking Hellcat squadron in the US Navy! This Hellcat probably went down with the USS Princeton when she was mortally wounded by a bomb [...]

SAAB J 35 F Draken

by Morne Meyer on August 23, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The superb Hasegawa 1/48 scale rendition of the Swedish J 35 F Draken. My model depicts a Draken from the Swedish Flygvapen based at Angelholm. Photos on the web show the Angelholm Drakens to be badly weathered towards the end of their [...]

by AL HOFFMAN on August 23, 2014 · in Automotive · 17 ≡

This Formula 1 Car was powered by a Alfa-Romeo 12 cylinder engine. The Brabham team was owned by Bernie Eccelstone before he bought F1, designed by Gordon Murray & the #1 car was driven by Niki Lauda . John Watson campaigned the second [...]

P 47 D Thunderbolt "Jenny"

by Morne Meyer on August 23, 2014 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

My rendition of Lt. Chauncey Rowan's mount. Tamiya 1/48 scale P 47 D Razorback. Model was painted using Model Master enamels. Weathering was done with salt, watercolours and Tamiya weathering kits. Eduard cockpit goodies and scratchbuilt [...]

Saturn V Mock Up

by George Louis Creed on August 22, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

This is the Dragon Saturn V in 1/72nd scale ! Yikes it is big, and still need to add the escape tower, but I wanted to mock it up and see how it looked. Still lots of work to go for seam clean up , puttying, priming and detail [...]

Staghound Mk.III

by Dmitry Stropalov on August 22, 2014 · in Armor · 12 ≡

I'm not a real AFV fan, but sometimes it's very interesting to build some unusual (to me) model. This is an Italery kit in 1/35 scale. Kit also contains metal barrel, etched parts - so it's a good start for OOB build and fun. I've replaced [...]
