Just out of interest

by George Williams on February 17, 2014 · in Automotive · 12 ≡

Following on from Al's recent posting about NASCAR, and the queries on the 1/43 scale, I thought I would show you my collection of 1950's Formula One cars. These are diecast toys made by Dinky Toys, roughly to 1/43 scale. I've pictured [...]

1/32 scale HE 162, No longer a WIP

by Steven Davis on February 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The Revell of Germany rerelease. Always liked the lines on this fighter and having been a VW nut ("the peoples car") why wouldn't I like the Volksjager ("peoples fighter") This was a great kit for the money, this is OOB [...]

Love It or Hate It

by AL HOFFMAN on February 17, 2014 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

Whatever you attitude Nascar season is back over here. This is one of my two ever Nascar builds. I tried to get some shots of the interior & as a result the images did not come out too well. Seems harder to photograph small stuff than [...]

Academy (Easy kit) 1/144th SU-25 Frogfoot

by Joe Caputo on February 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The SU-25 Frogfoot is the Russian equivalent of the USAF A-10. It's not graceful looking, but is pretty much "purpose built". I guess that's what has always attracted me to it. In this particular case, I had little choice but [...]

Airfix Seafire F.R.47 with Cooper Details upgrade

by Tom Cleaver on February 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The Seafire F.R.47 was the last of the line that began in 1935 with K5054, the Spitfire prototype. It was twice the weight of the original, with two and a half times the power and an additional 100mph in top speed, not to mention a cannon [...]

Seafire F.45 – Aeroclub conversion of Airfix kit

by Tom Cleaver on February 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Throughout the development of the carrier-based Sea Spitfire, which was known as the Seafire, developments in the land-based series of fighters were reflected in approximate naval equivalents. The first of the Griffon-powered Seafires was [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 J2M3 Raiden

by James Kelley on February 14, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I built this kit a little over two years ago. Most likely the most sublime Hasegawa model kit I've built to date. The only additions were a PE seat harness from Eduard and some colored wires added to the radio. The antennae wire is [...]

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire IXc (early)

by Tom Cleaver on February 13, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Had not the RAF been able to bring a new Spitfire into combat in the summer of 1942 to face the Fw-190A that could outfly the Spitfire V on every point but turning circle, the war over Northern Europe would have likely taken a different [...]
