by Milan D. on August 22, 2014 · in Armor · 15 ≡

Hi again. I did this one last year and it was my first attempt of building armor scale model. From the aftermarket add-ons I have used RB Model metal barrel, Voyager PE set and Friul tracks. Painted with Vallejo Acrylics. Finished in 3 [...]

The Ghost of Gasoline Alley

by California Steve on August 21, 2014 · in Automotive · 21 ≡

Here is one you might have seen around in different publications. I am still kinda proud of this one. Old Monogram kit. I paid bucks for this kit, then they re-released it a few months later. Oh well. Photographed by my son Sean on a [...]

A follow up to the Crusader mini group build we had earlier in the month, I have here the excellent Academy 72nd scale Crusader. Using the Eduards zoom cockpit set and an Aeromaster sheet for the USMC markings. This build I was able to [...]

“Big Fish” Revisited

by Rob Pollock on August 21, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Five months ago, I posted the Headlines article, “Big Fish” - Rotterdam Oude Haven 1952. It depicted the salvage of a Heinkel bomber (Revell 1/32 modelled) into a small Dutch port several years after WW2. Having lived with the diorama [...]

Revell’s 1/32 Bf 109-K4

by Tony Prince on August 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Pretty much straight OOB. Bf 109s have a great attraction for me because of the infinite variety of camouflage schemes. This is my third in this scale & now I'm waiting for the new Revell G-10 to appear. The build was pretty straight [...]

Skeletal Fokker

by Mike Grant on August 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

I've always had a phobia about photo-etched parts. Paint won't stick to them, they fly off into oblivion when picked up with tweezers, they bend where they shouldn't and you can't sand them to shape; it's a pretty unforgiving medium. I [...]

Revell 1/48 MiG-25P Foxbat…

by Robert Bausch on August 18, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I have always been fascinated with the MiG-25, as much as I am with the SR-71. The Blackbird is the faster aircraft, but according to my info, the Foxbat has flown to a higher altitude, over 123,000 feet (37,650 metres), actually the [...]

This is the 1/48 Hasegawa Mk VIII Spitfire flown by Squadron Leader Lance Wade. Wade was from Texas and enlisted in the RAF in Canada. Being from Texas myself I like building planes flown by Texas pilots. I apologize to you Spitfire [...]
