by Morne Meyer on October 4, 2014 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

This is Italeri's 1/72 scale rendition of arguably the deadliest of the Sukhoi design bureau's fabulous Flankers. The side-by-side seating Su-27 variants are radical developments of the original Flanker interceptor. The Su-27 IB, Su-32 FN [...]

by Emmanuel on October 4, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Hello Guys An old kit I made 10 years ago. It was very relaxing but when I took a look on the pics, I realised that I have some improvements to do on the paint, decals and details during the assembly. Have a good week end and as [...]

Porsche 956 Short Tail

by AL HOFFMAN on October 3, 2014 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

I'm don't remember much about the history of this car. Probably campaigned '81-'83 time frame. It was powered by a Porsche flat six. The driver decal lists Bellof, Bell & Holbert but I don't remember them being teamed together. The [...]

1/72 SAAF Canberra

by John Healy on October 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Morne Meyer's outstanding Canberra inspired me to share mine. This is the 1/72 "little brother" to Morne's 1/48 model. I think this was the first new tool kit that Hornby did after their takeover of Airfix. The shapes are [...]

by Bill Koppos on October 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Hasegawa's limited-release Zero prototype in 1/48th scale. Built this one a while ago when first released, an easy build. AFAIK there are no images in existence of this machine so we can only hope Hasegawa got it right. The engine/cowling [...]

In 1963 the South African Air Force (SAAF) procured six B(I) Mk.12 Canberra interdictors and three T. Mk.4's from Britain. Initially the Canberra was seen as an interim measure until the arrival of Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneers in 1965. The [...]

1/48 Pfalz D-VIII

by Brian Riedel on October 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Howdy, The Pfalz D-VIII is probably my favorite plane of World War One. It's stubby fuselage was a radical departure from the elegant shark like fighters that the Pfalz factory produced before. This is the Tom's Modelworks resin kit. [...]
