Saturn V Mock Up

by George Louis Creed on August 22, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

This is the Dragon Saturn V in 1/72nd scale ! Yikes it is big, and still need to add the escape tower, but I wanted to mock it up and see how it looked. Still lots of work to go for seam clean up , puttying, priming and detail [...]

Staghound Mk.III

by Dmitry Stropalov on August 22, 2014 · in Armor · 12 ≡

I'm not a real AFV fan, but sometimes it's very interesting to build some unusual (to me) model. This is an Italery kit in 1/35 scale. Kit also contains metal barrel, etched parts - so it's a good start for OOB build and fun. I've replaced [...]

Dragon Tiger I in 1/35

by Milan D. on August 22, 2014 · in Armor · 15 ≡

Hi again. I did this one last year and it was my first attempt of building armor scale model. From the aftermarket add-ons I have used RB Model metal barrel, Voyager PE set and Friul tracks. Painted with Vallejo Acrylics. Finished in 3 [...]

The Ghost of Gasoline Alley

by California Steve on August 21, 2014 · in Automotive · 21 ≡

Here is one you might have seen around in different publications. I am still kinda proud of this one. Old Monogram kit. I paid bucks for this kit, then they re-released it a few months later. Oh well. Photographed by my son Sean on a [...]

Academy 1/72 LTV F-8E Crusader USMC Vietnam

by Chuck A. Villanueva on August 21, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

A follow up to the Crusader mini group build we had earlier in the month, I have here the excellent Academy 72nd scale Crusader. Using the Eduards zoom cockpit set and an Aeromaster sheet for the USMC markings. This build I was able to [...]

“Big Fish” Revisited

by Rob Pollock on August 21, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Five months ago, I posted the Headlines article, “Big Fish” - Rotterdam Oude Haven 1952. It depicted the salvage of a Heinkel bomber (Revell 1/32 modelled) into a small Dutch port several years after WW2. Having lived with the diorama [...]

F2G “super Corsair” Race #57 – Special Hobby 1/48

by Tom Cleaver on August 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

While many believe that the Goodyear F2G Super Corsair began life as the answer to the threat posed by the Kamikazes beginning in November 1944, such is not the case. Had Goodyear waited till then to begin developing such an airplane, it [...]

Revell’s 1/32 Bf 109-K4

by Tony Prince on August 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Pretty much straight OOB. Bf 109s have a great attraction for me because of the infinite variety of camouflage schemes. This is my third in this scale & now I'm waiting for the new Revell G-10 to appear. The build was pretty straight [...]

Skeletal Fokker

by Mike Grant on August 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

I've always had a phobia about photo-etched parts. Paint won't stick to them, they fly off into oblivion when picked up with tweezers, they bend where they shouldn't and you can't sand them to shape; it's a pretty unforgiving medium. I [...]

Revell 1/48 MiG-25P Foxbat…

by Robert Bausch on August 18, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I have always been fascinated with the MiG-25, as much as I am with the SR-71. The Blackbird is the faster aircraft, but according to my info, the Foxbat has flown to a higher altitude, over 123,000 feet (37,650 metres), actually the [...]
