Trumpeter 1/48 Vampire FB Mk. 5

by Rick Wilkes on December 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

As a memento of the IPMS/UK 50th Anniversary Tour, and being unable to model a massive bout of constipation, and unwilling to spend £40 for one of the Alleycat kits, I purchased the new Trumpeter Vampire FB Mk. 5, when I got home. Little [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Supermarine Seafire LF Mk. III

by Bryan W. Bernart on December 17, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

One that almost became the second occupant of the shelf of doom. Why, you ask? I was about half way through when Tom Cleaver published his authoritative "Frankenspit", and I knew all was lost. Eventually built OOB, it came [...]

Otaki 1/48 (Ki-61) “Hieney Racer”

by Joe Caputo on December 16, 2013 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I always thought the Ki-61 was one of Japan's sleekest looking WWII fighters. German desigined and Daimler-Benz powered, it was built by Kawasaki, and named the "Hien". The cost of an Otaki kit was reasonable enough that I [...]

by Randy Guenin on December 15, 2013 · in Diorama · 18 ≡

I can't take credit for the project but I did do the detail work, (kit construction and modifications), and helped with some of the engineering, as it applied to my kits. The diorama is at the Pacific Air Museum at Pearl Harbor. It has [...]

1/25 '69 Camaro

by Billy Smith on December 15, 2013 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Though I did manage to make this car come out decent, it was a huge pain. As I was working on this car, I had not let the paint cure all the way and I put a clear cote on it. Because of this the paint started to wrinkle and I panicked; I [...]

Here’s to old RAF jets! 1/32 DeHavilland Venom NF.3, 151 Sqn, RAF

by Robert Bausch on December 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is the old Matchbox 1/32 kit, which could be built as a RAF version, or a Fleet Air Arm Sea Venom. It is another of those kits that I “started in the City, and finished in the country”, but this time it’s one that I only [...]
