by Ralph Clements on October 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

For my first time in a 'group build' I chose the Italeri 1/48 Ju-87B Stuka. It is also my first German aircraft, which I am generally challenged by since many of them have such complex paint schemes, and I am a 'hair brush & rattle [...]

Hi all, for the BoF/BoB. 1/48 CA Boultan Paul Defiant. I loved building this kit. Lots of fun even with the extra workload of a limited run kit. It went together very nicely. Not many pics sorry. But hope you like anyway. Paul.

Kitty Hawk’s Grumman F9F-8T Cougar in 1/48

by Tony Prince on October 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

As soon as I saw the advance notice I put in my order for this magnificent & much neglected model. It seems that most kit manufactures have forgotten about the 1950's & '60's so a Cougar was great news! It arrived (of course) [...]

by Nathaniel Kiker on October 29, 2014 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This is Revell's Arizona that I built for the second time. It went together well and before I started I wanted it to be a waterline model. I cut off the bottom half of the hull and I have a hope someday that I will put in a water setting. [...]

Hobby Boss 1/48 Ta-152C-11

by Nathaniel Kiker on October 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is a German mid altitude interceptor that was brought in at the end of the war but to late to be effective. Hobby Boss' kit is a very nice rendition of this big plane. The kit has positional flaps, ailerons, and rudder. This is a very [...]
