by Ralph Clements on February 8, 2015 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is a Hasegawa 1/48 P-400 "Shark Teeth" that I decided to do toothless...it is my approximation or guesstimate, if you will,of a P-39/400(?) in North Africa, 1943. I just finished reading "An Army At Dawn" about the [...]

Last installment before I finish her up. The tracks are fitted, tools spare tracks and some toning down of the cammo, and of course the beer of the day!

Trumpeters Sovremenny in 1:350

by Ulf Lundberg on February 8, 2015 · in Ships · 29 ≡

I finished the Sovremenny in December 2008. In general I don't like modern warships. I find their angular superstructures ugly and out of proportion. The russian ones look better though, and since I had won the kit at a contest, I thought [...]

Not one of my "builds", but I painted it, for one of my RC friends.(two days) We got some good pictures of the first flight. It flew like dream. He had floats for it as well but I don't know if he has tried them out yet. Four [...]

Mitsubishi Ki-46 "Dinah" Japanese Army Type 100-2 is the full name given on the old box. The "Dinah" was a recon/trainer aircraft, and one of WWII Japan's nicest looking aircraft. I continued my venture into WWII [...]

1/72 PV-1 Ventura Gunship

by Greg Kittinger on February 5, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Started with an Academy kit (pretty nice, except the wing root joint). I opened up the throughway from the cockpit to the cabin, and then felt I better add the navigator and table in case you could see it. Shouldn't have wasted the effort [...]
