Airfix 1/48 Supermarine Seafire XV Kitbash

by Marek Halas on December 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

An interesting if somewhat futile exercise in kitbashing a Supermarine Seafire XV: This was made from the leftover wings from my Airfix Supermarine Seafire XVII and grafting it onto the modified fuselage of Airfix's Supermarine Spitfire [...]

Beauty and the Beast!!!

by California Steve on December 7, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 22 ≡

How about a little love for those old Lindberg automobile kits. The armored car is one I posted a while ago. It was derived from their Mercedes Benz racer. The new blue car is their Stutz racer with the Benz body grafted on. The windscreen [...]

24th scale Mosquito

by Robert Aspinall on December 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I've been away a while having started a new job. I'm building this for a friend and its a good kit, would be great if it wasn't for all the ejector pin marks! I have replaced some of the soft detail in the cockpit and added some scratch [...]

Admiral Hipper

by Ulf Lundberg on December 7, 2014 · in Ships · 14 ≡

Trumpeters Admiral Hipper, that I built in the spring of 2012, is typical of their ship kits. It's basically a good kit but nothing extraordinary. The build began, as usual, with the tedious and time consuming job of filling and sanding [...]

Classic Lindberg Coastal Patrol Boat with Conversion to Viet Nam Era PGM

by Joe Caputo on December 6, 2014 · in Ships · 16 ≡

The Lindberg Coastal Patrol Boat, which I had posted much earlier, was a good beginning for this conversion. Reference material was somewhat limited. The Squadron publication, "Riverine" by Jim Mesko, gave me a decent start. [...]

PZL P.11c (MasterCraft 1/72)

by Dmitry Stropalov on December 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

There is not much to say about this kit - an old one from Poland, reboxed by MasterCraft (or MisterCraft) nowadays with a new decals (not good anyway) . A lot of sanding, filling, scribing an so on. But, it's the good old kit from the [...]

HE-115, 1/48, done. more done, really done

by Ralph Clements on December 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Well I did some weathering, trying not to over do it and added the exhaust pipes which I had forgotten, and antenna wire, in the process broke the nose gun in two, which I didn't even notice until I looked at these photos...that is typical [...]

Supermarine Spitfire Vb (Trop) in 1/48 scale by Airfix.

by Tony Prince on December 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

My inspiration for this model came from Brian Cauchi's book "Malta Spitfrie Vs - 1942: Their Colours & Markings" which I found of enormous help & in addition a real potential problem as the temptation is undoubtedly to [...]
