Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2, Finnish Air Force...

by Robert Bausch on June 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

When I saw Rob Anderson’s May 24 posting of the old Revell box art for their 1/32 Bf 109 G “Gustav”, I knew I had to take a look at the model I built from that kit, with the thought of possibly posting it on iModeler. Here it is. I [...]

Bubble trouble!

by Rob Anderson on June 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The Albatross continues. Looking at pictures of Navy HU-16Cs I noticed all but the earliest have observer bubbles retrofitted to the first window aft of the wheel wells. Later Navy birds seem to have been built with these, but the [...]

Revell – Monogram B 29 1/48

by neil foster on June 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 57 ≡

Well at long last here is my finished B29 and I have to say it has been a real pleasure, for a very old moulding with raised panel lines it still builds up into a lovely looking kit ,there is a surprising amount of detail in the forward [...]

How many of you remember this?

by Jaime Carreon on June 18, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

(link) It came on right before the national anthem at 10:30 PM as the TV station was signing off for the night. This is one of the reasons I like F-104's...

Does this pic warm your heart?

by Paul van Acker on June 17, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 39 ≡

This is Ella, looking like Little red riding Hood today, because it's winter here, who is one of the kids I teach model building to at my sons' school in Brisbane, Australia. I do the club every week, on my day off, at lunchtime. Not sure [...]

Yekîneyên Parastina Gel T-55

by Wes Pennest on June 17, 2014 · in Armor · 11 ≡

The T-55 from Tamiya, out of the box. Much of this text is from my YPG T-72 article (q.v.), and I have taken a similar approach to weathering this kit. In the ongoing Syrian civil war, the largely Kurdish west of the country is less of a [...]

Wow - a 1:60 scale model Boeing 777 constructed from manila file folders - this knocked my socks off when I read and article about it in an engineering trade magazine. So I googled it up and found lots more images here: (link)

Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VIII 'Hava Go Jo!!' in 1/48

by Tony Prince on June 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

When I first built this kit it was hot off the press & being well & truly bagged on the internet. I don't usually run a ruler over my models, preferring to the eyeball Mk.1 to gauge accuracy. In this case, the critics were right [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Me-262B-1a

by Tom Cleaver on June 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Due to a statement made by William Green in his 1959 "Famous Fighters of the Second World War, Vol. 1" about the Me-262B night fighter conversion "shooting down" British bombers over Berlin in April 1945, it has long [...]
