Heller 4.5lt blower Bentley 1/24

by IAN Convey on January 23, 2024 · in Automotive · 16 ≡

The most successful of British race cars of the 1920's would be the Bentleys, however the 1929 4.5lt blower Bentley did not live up to expectations on the race track and only 50 cars were built. The cars weighted around 2 tonne and the 240 [...]

Revell 1/32 Alouette II

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Revell's oldie Alouette is a basic kit but still, a complex build. I added many scratch made parts such as pipes, wires and rods to enhance the look of the engine and rotor mechanism.

De Havilland DHC-3 Otter

by Chas Bunch on January 23, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Here’s my build of the Hobbycraft DHC-3 Otter in 1:48. It was a garage sale kit that a friend sent me. I decided to build it as a Civil bush floatplane. The DHC-3 was developed by De Havilland Canada in early 1951 as a larger and more [...]

Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 Abrams

by David Mozley on January 22, 2024 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I will fully admit armor models intimidate me. I can get through the basic build, paint endless road wheels, and get the basic colors down. Weathering an armored vehicle is where cold sweat builds on my forehead. But like any '80s kid [...]

Albatros D.XI, Karaya, 1:48, test pilot Lt. Heinrich Henkel, Jasta 37, 8 victories

by Milan Tesař on January 22, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I wanted to build a one off model of a lesser known aircraft type without strings, but how wrong I was. The hull was built excellently, everything fit and I only added a few details. But then I found out that five of the eleven cylinders [...]

by Riccardo Fortina on January 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This is one of my 1/48 "Pfeil" collection: Do 435 B-1 nights and bad weather fighter. A never built Pfeil with 2 Jumo 222 engines and enlarged wooden wings (45.5 sq.m). See the difference with a Do 335 A-0. Model: Tamiya. Exhaust [...]

A bit like Star Wars Death Star, deadly anyway: Sperry "ball" turret of a B-24 Liberator

by Roland Sachsenhofer on January 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

A quick and topical article this time! Sometimes "the oats get you", as they say. This was the case for me recently when I was in the middle of building the large Hobby Boss B-24 Liberator in 1/32nd scale and was about to [...]

U-2D MIDAS

by Wes Pennest on January 21, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

"That's the letter U, and the numeral 2. The four-man band features Adam Clayton on bass, Larry Mullen on drums, Dave Evans—nicknamed 'The Edge', on..." ...this is [REDACTED]! Nobody cares! These guys are from England and who [...]
