by Josh Patterson on May 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I guess I can't just work on one model at a time. This is Revell's Lockheed Ventura. The kit is nicely detailed externally with a nice representation of the front office. The only low point is the area aft of the cowl flaps. I simply [...]

My 1/48 "Jug"

by Ralph Clements on May 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here's my version of the Revell (Monogram to my old way of thinking...) P-47D 'Razorback'. I tried to model it after the one you see on the book in some of the photos. The book is a 1989 Squadron/Signal Publication titled "49th [...]

DH Vampire Mk9 – Build Completed

After my ever first post, with the positive comments I received, I was encouraged to crack on with the Vampire as and when spare time allowed. I always like to learn lessons, new techniques and improve on every build, and with this one I [...]

Well... It has been a very long time since I have posted on here last. I purchased this car when I was down in Kentucky at a hobby lobby way back in Feb. I finally finished up with this last semester at college and the first thing I wanted [...]

Wingnut Wings Bristol Fighter

by Mike Wood on May 13, 2014 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is my recently completed Brisfit. This was my first Wingnut Wings kit and I hope it won't be my last. I've got my eye on the new Walfisch, not so much rigging. The model was painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and Humbrol enamel. [...]

My first Trumpeter kit, good, bad and ugly?

by Rob Anderson on May 12, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Started building the 1/48 Trumpeter HU-16A kit, having never built a Trumpy kit before, but reading lots of mostly bad reviews, I dove in. First off, the reviews of this kit bashing it, are well over stated. Yes it has problems, the hull [...]
