Hello I would like to share with you the last series done by my father. He decided to continue enlarge our collection with gliders. After doing the Horsas some months ago, it was time for the Hamilcar. We would like to thanks Jed and [...]

Henschel Hs 129 "Panzerknacker"

by Morne Meyer on August 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The Henschel Hs 129 was the only aircraft of World War II that was designed specifically for destroying armour. It was a completely conventional aircraft with a slender triangular slim fuselage. Therefore, the cockpit was extremely cramped [...]

Avro Shackleton AEW2 – Sanger 1/48th vacform

by Thomas Probert on August 29, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The Avro Shackleton is one of my favourite post-war RAF aircraft, and the AEW2 version with its big radome makes for a very interesting looking aircraft. This 'Growler' has been completely overlooked by the 'mainstream' injection [...]

Trumpeter 1/16 SU-100, or “How to determine your workbench is level for only 200 dollars”

by Wes Pennest on August 28, 2014 · in Armor · 8 ≡

Originally, this was to be a large, substantial article about the large and substantial 1/16 scale SU-100 assault gun from Trumpeter. Fate intervened and decided instead to teach me the value of having a one-hundred-and-ten-percent level [...]

Spitfire Mk.IXe (AZ 1/72)

by Dmitry Stropalov on August 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I always wanted to make Spitfire in an unusual painting scheme. So, this one for unpainted look of this famous warbird. This is a new AZmodel kit in HQT (high quality technology). And I can say that plastic really looks very good and if [...]

Boeing B-29 Superfortress – 1/32nd scale vacform

This was a huge undertaking, in both the challenge it provided and the sheer size of this kit. An ID Models vacform, this model provided the absolute basics such as the fuselage shell, wings and stabilisers. No interior was provided, so [...]
