In this project, I wanted to create a scene using German armour and a selection of personnel, within standard diorama parameters, represented by the Ardennes offensive in the autumn and winter period 1944/45. The basis of the diorama was [...]

Ira Kepford’s VF-17 F4U Corsair

by Robert Bausch on December 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I found a couple of old pics of the Corsair model that I built from the Revell 1/32 kit with that beautiful box art, I think by Jack Leynwood. This is one of those models I started in the City, and finished in the country! Many years [...]

A sad and sobering tale.....

by neil foster on November 30, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 22 ≡

I was inspired to post these pictures after seeing Robs post, the u.k. is littered with crash sites, though few as well preserved as this. Our friends in America and elsewhere could be forgiven for thinking England is a small place but [...]

1/48 Sukhoi Su-7BKL “Fitter” in camouflage

by Robert Bausch on November 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I am a great fan of Russian aircraft, tanks and submarines, and also of Russian romantic classical music, from the likes of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Gliere, Glazunov, Kalinnikov and others. The love of the music came before the interest [...]

1/72 Revell B-17F "Memphis Belle"

by Joe Caputo on November 29, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This old Revell was done quite a few years ago. I dug it out and cleaned it up just to give Simon a idea of what it looked like. With Craig as an inspiration, I decided to post it. It had to be one of my earlier attempts, judging by [...]
