In early 1944, No 25 Squadron RNZAF began operational training on SBD-4 aircraft at Pallikulo on Espiritu Santo Island in the New Hebrides. These SBD-4s were ex-USMC aircraft, and in quite poor condition. Operational training included [...]

Revell Phantom Vicky

by AL HOFFMAN on December 16, 2014 · in Automotive · 13 ≡

This was built 100% OOB a while ago mainly as a painting exercise. It was my first serious attempt at using acrylics. I wanted to see how well it laid down & if it stayed on when masked with tape. Worked out pretty well in both areas. [...]

Tanks for a great year...........

by Rob Anderson on December 15, 2014 · in Armor · 11 ≡

Ok bad pun! Here is my Dragon Smart Panther so far. Turning out well, I am using the Griffon Model PE set, which is kind of hit and miss. Detail is great, but some of the parts are so small and fragile they are nearly impossible to use. [...]

by Chris St Clair on December 14, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is the Academy kit, built using the Two Bobs decal sheet (72-100 from memory). It's a nice kit in terms of detail, but is a bit of a pain to build. I modified the intake shape by adding a triangle of plastic card to the splitter, as [...]

I finished Revells Bismarck in february 2011. The kit is a major improvement over Tamiyas old kit, but it does not compare in quality with modern ones from Hasegawa, Dragon or Bronco. In one respect however it is better than most plastic [...]
