Revell 1/144th Boeing 747-400 ‘Virgin Atlantic’

by Thomas Probert on September 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This model was completed a couple of months back and was built out of the box, more or less. The only thing I did work on was the nose profile, which was improved with Milliput by building the area above the cockpit windows up slightly. [...]

by Morne Meyer on September 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

This is Revell's SUPERB F-86 D Sabre Dog dressed up in the colourful markings of the unit commander of the famous 94th 'Hat in a Ring' Squadron based at Selfridge AFB, Michigan 1959. The F-86 D was the hottest looking thing in the [...]

1/48 Revell / Monogram F105G of Le Bourget

by Steve Hawley on September 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I've waited twenty years for a better F105G than the Revell/Monogram offering. With each new release came only disappointment. Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits still have R/M's pointy nose. Added to that those kits have deep panel lines and [...]

Hi all, here is my just completed Revell 1/48 PV-1 Ventura done in an "Atlantic" color scheme. I searched the web a lot for images of Venturas in this scheme, and am including the best image I found, a very handsome PV-1 in [...]

Tamiya's spankin'-new big ticket item, the WW one Mark IV tank. It's motorized! Yup it comes with motors, gears, beautiful working tracks and a 5-man squad to walk alongside. There's a lot of beautifully molded parts in this box. This [...]

Hello I would like to share with you the last series done by my father. He decided to continue enlarge our collection with gliders. After doing the Horsas some months ago, it was time for the Hamilcar. We would like to thanks Jed and [...]

Henschel Hs 129 "Panzerknacker"

by Morne Meyer on August 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

The Henschel Hs 129 was the only aircraft of World War II that was designed specifically for destroying armour. It was a completely conventional aircraft with a slender triangular slim fuselage. Therefore, the cockpit was extremely cramped [...]

Feeling very Hornisse!

Avro Shackleton AEW2 – Sanger 1/48th vacform

by Thomas Probert on August 29, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The Avro Shackleton is one of my favourite post-war RAF aircraft, and the AEW2 version with its big radome makes for a very interesting looking aircraft. This 'Growler' has been completely overlooked by the 'mainstream' injection [...]
