by Rick Wilkes on July 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Last of the V8 Interceptors…. Aoshima 1/24 Mad Max 2

by Bill Koppos on July 6, 2014 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

One of my favorite Moving pictures has been Mad Max 2, The Road Warrior. I saw this one in '81 when it came out, and was bowled over with the nasties, machines, a young Mel Gibson at full tough, and overall atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic [...]

Eduard 1/48 Dassault Mirage IIICJ “Profipack”

by Tom Cleaver on July 4, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This model was done 10 years ago when the kit first came out. It's still the best 1/48 Mirage kit and well worth having, particularly in the Profipack release. Like the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain, the P-51 and the daylight battles [...]

Bristol Fighter Roden 1/48th Scale

by James Robert Feuilherade on July 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Built this a while back, but as others have posted oldies but goodies, decided to show I do actually manage to get somthing across my work bench occasionally! Good kits the Roden's, if maybe not for beginners. Soft plastic can make [...]
