UFO's--Serious Business!
At least they were to a young modeler in 1958. The Lindberg "Flying Saucer" was a big deal to me and was my first model I was allowed to build all by myself. Like many kids of the 1950's, I was a big fan of space [...]
Revell 1/48 Lockheed PV-1 Ventura
I guess I can't just work on one model at a time. This is Revell's Lockheed Ventura. The kit is nicely detailed externally with a nice representation of the front office. The only low point is the area aft of the cowl flaps. I simply [...]
1/48 Avia S.199 conversion
Today is May 15, the 66th anniversary of commencement of the Israeli War of Independence.
In honor of that date...
The Egyptian Army thought they would smash Israel in a matter of weeks following the outbreak of war after the May 14,1948 [...]
My 1/48 "Jug"
Here's my version of the Revell (Monogram to my old way of thinking...) P-47D 'Razorback'. I tried to model it after the one you see on the book in some of the photos. The book is a 1989 Squadron/Signal Publication titled "49th [...]
DH Vampire Mk9 – Build Completed
After my ever first post, with the positive comments I received, I was encouraged to crack on with the Vampire as and when spare time allowed. I always like to learn lessons, new techniques and improve on every build, and with this one I [...]
Monogram 1/24th scale '53 Corvette
Hello!
This is a model of the Monogram ’53 Corvette that I built for my vintage ’53 Dad. I started building this model for him when I was 16, which was 22 years ago! I have been carrying it around with me throughout the years and [...]
1/48th RF-101C Conversion
This RF-101C Voodoo was originally built several years ago. It got damaged a while back when I dropped another model on it while re-arranging my model shelves. The horizontal tails, one of the dive brake doors and one of the flaps were [...]
1/25 AMT '66 Nova Pro Street
Well... It has been a very long time since I have posted on here last. I purchased this car when I was down in Kentucky at a hobby lobby way back in Feb. I finally finished up with this last semester at college and the first thing I wanted [...]
Wingnut Wings Bristol Fighter
This is my recently completed Brisfit. This was my first Wingnut Wings kit and I hope it won't be my last. I've got my eye on the new Walfisch, not so much rigging. The model was painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and Humbrol enamel. [...]
My first Trumpeter kit, good, bad and ugly?
Started building the 1/48 Trumpeter HU-16A kit, having never built a Trumpy kit before, but reading lots of mostly bad reviews, I dove in. First off, the reviews of this kit bashing it, are well over stated. Yes it has problems, the hull [...]
