On to Berlin!

by Bill Koppos on May 21, 2015 · in Armor · 9 ≡

Adding to Maxim Bylkin' "theme" I dredged up this old biscuit. It's a 1/72 Dragon T-34-85 with "bedspring" armor. The bedsprings were actually metal grids with brackets welded up as early stand-off armor, to defeat [...]

Revell-Germany 1/48 Me-410B-2/U4

by Tom Cleaver on May 21, 2015 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The Messeschmitt Me-410 was essentially a redesigned Me-210, with a lengthened fuselage and DB603 engines rather than the DB605 of the earlier design. This redesign solved the problems of the Me-210, which were so difficult that it was [...]

And here's the last post with some of the most interesting models and dioramas I saw in the show. Note the really funny mini sub dio with the faucet. The extremely interesting and original warship creations by ARS NOVA are based on a manga [...]

Shizuoka 2015 #7

The Lohner T in 1/32 was all scratch built (solid model) by Oyabu Katsuyoshi. The F-84G Thunderjet, Hasegawa 1/72, was built by Shirai Asao and he made clear that he did not use any decals! All stencils and markings are hand painted!

More photos. The first funky ship with the pagoda temple was built by a different modeler but there was no tag so I have no further details. The rest of the ships were built by a group called "Zenkoku Jokaku Mokei Fukyu Kyokai" [...]

1/144 Cubana Tu-154m

by John Healy on May 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I haven't got much modeling done this year due to work and family commitments, but I have managed to finish this beautiful Zvezda airliner kit. It assembles precisely, with the best fit I've ever experienced in a small scale airliner kit. [...]
