by Bernard Wylie on December 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Hasegawa's excellent Typhoon made better with the inclusion of Barracuda cockpit, wheels and exhaust, invasion stripes, roundels and fin flashes were painted with the Montex Masks, I'm really liking these masks.

This is the Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit of the Austrian version of J35 Draken. It is a splendid kit and a joy to build. It is built out of the box, with the pitot tube replaced with stainless wire.

P-51D Mustang 1/72

by Johan Hugogård on December 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is an old Airfix kit that I put together some years ago and tested some weathering techniques on it. The kit and its detail is not so good, but I was happy with the result of the weathering and the worn look of it. I gave it a base [...]

7TP Polish WWII tank 1/35

by Johan Hugogård on December 28, 2013 · in Armor · 5 ≡

I just got a new mobile phone with a 13 megapixel camera, so I thought that I should test it by taking some pictures of models I've built. Starting with the 1/35 scale Polish 7TP tank from early WWII. The kit is by Mirage Hobby I think. I [...]

About five miles from my home, heading south on the A11, lies the village of East Harling. The English Whisky Company has a distillery there, and I recently went on a little tour of the place, courtesy of a Christmas gift from my [...]

And now for something completely different …

I was given a Nikon Coolpix S9400 for Christmas so am experimenting with some model photos. When my son was younger, he played Warhammer 40,000 and had a squad of Ultramarines as part of a set that he bought. He preferred Tyranids rather [...]

Well, a happy Xmas to all . Here are some pics of a pair of Spitfires my wife and I built. I posted them as I thought it might be of interest to those SWMBO. The kits were Revell 1/72 Spitfires Vb`s, which were basic kits. The fit was not [...]

Messerschmitt Me 262 B-1a/U1

by Rob Pollock on December 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is the Trumpeter 1/32 version of the Me 262 nightfighter. Rather than the modelling-standard of mottled camo, I wanted to replicate the in-theatre, brush-applied version, often seen in late-war photos (similar example in archive photo [...]

This is the old AMT kit that i've had for years. I thought I'd try I figure kit and this came to mind! The fit is so so the detail is ok but overall it was a fun build. The paint is all aycrilic from MM and Tamyia, then I used oil for wash [...]
