Review: The (not so) “Great 109Gate” Brew-Ha-Ha

by Tom Cleaver on May 16, 2014 · in Reviews · 70 ≡

As with most Brew-Ha-ha's (that's an alcohol-fueled argument anyone outside of it will laugh at) at Hyperscale, the Great 109Gate Whine is mostly "overscale" in the amount of hot air expended by people who don't know what they're [...]

UFO's--Serious Business!

by Mike Maynard on May 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

At least they were to a young modeler in 1958. The Lindberg "Flying Saucer" was a big deal to me and was my first model I was allowed to build all by myself. Like many kids of the 1950's, I was a big fan of space [...]

Revell 1/48 Lockheed PV-1 Ventura

by Josh Patterson on May 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I guess I can't just work on one model at a time. This is Revell's Lockheed Ventura. The kit is nicely detailed externally with a nice representation of the front office. The only low point is the area aft of the cowl flaps. I simply [...]

1/48 Avia S.199 conversion

by Tom Cleaver on May 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Today is May 15, the 66th anniversary of commencement of the Israeli War of Independence. In honor of that date... The Egyptian Army thought they would smash Israel in a matter of weeks following the outbreak of war after the May 14,1948 [...]

My 1/48 "Jug"

by Ralph Clements on May 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here's my version of the Revell (Monogram to my old way of thinking...) P-47D 'Razorback'. I tried to model it after the one you see on the book in some of the photos. The book is a 1989 Squadron/Signal Publication titled "49th [...]

DH Vampire Mk9 – Build Completed

by Richard Hanson on May 15, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

After my ever first post, with the positive comments I received, I was encouraged to crack on with the Vampire as and when spare time allowed. I always like to learn lessons, new techniques and improve on every build, and with this one I [...]

Monogram 1/24th scale '53 Corvette

by Ramon R. Lomeli on May 15, 2014 · in Automotive · 25 ≡

Hello! This is a model of the Monogram ’53 Corvette that I built for my vintage ’53 Dad. I started building this model for him when I was 16, which was 22 years ago! I have been carrying it around with me throughout the years and [...]

1/48th RF-101C Conversion

by Jim Sullivan on May 14, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This RF-101C Voodoo was originally built several years ago. It got damaged a while back when I dropped another model on it while re-arranging my model shelves. The horizontal tails, one of the dive brake doors and one of the flaps were [...]

1/25 AMT '66 Nova Pro Street

by Billy Smith on May 13, 2014 · in Automotive · 9 ≡

Well... It has been a very long time since I have posted on here last. I purchased this car when I was down in Kentucky at a hobby lobby way back in Feb. I finally finished up with this last semester at college and the first thing I wanted [...]

Wingnut Wings Bristol Fighter

by Mike Wood on May 13, 2014 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is my recently completed Brisfit. This was my first Wingnut Wings kit and I hope it won't be my last. I've got my eye on the new Walfisch, not so much rigging. The model was painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and Humbrol enamel. [...]
