Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat

by Morne Meyer on August 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This 1/48 scale Hellcat carries the distinctive markings from VF-27. Definitely the most ferocious looking Hellcat squadron in the US Navy! This Hellcat probably went down with the USS Princeton when she was mortally wounded by a bomb [...]

by George Louis Creed on August 22, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

This is the Dragon Saturn V in 1/72nd scale ! Yikes it is big, and still need to add the escape tower, but I wanted to mock it up and see how it looked. Still lots of work to go for seam clean up , puttying, priming and detail [...]

Staghound Mk.III

by Dmitry Stropalov on August 22, 2014 · in Armor · 12 ≡

I'm not a real AFV fan, but sometimes it's very interesting to build some unusual (to me) model. This is an Italery kit in 1/35 scale. Kit also contains metal barrel, etched parts - so it's a good start for OOB build and fun. I've replaced [...]

“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 [...]
