This build started out with a picture: (link) It's an A-20B, AAF serial 41-3441 of the 47th BG, 97th BS at Vesuvius Airbase in Italy. I found it while randomly surfing at work one afternoon (yes, I was bored) and photo was so cool I [...]

This is the follow up to part I. These are new images that I had to take as I have not been able to find the original set taken on an SD card I had stored while moving to our new home. Should've left it in the camera. So with the new [...]

“Trick or Treat” 2

by Joe Caputo on October 28, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

The Zombie Killa II, as promised, was the mate to ZK I. This one was "designed" to compliment the other, and pack the punch. Again, a Lindberg Sd.Kfz 222 was the starting point. Lowered front end (only) opened rear engine [...]

I took the grandkids to the Wings Over Houston AIrshow yesterday (Sunday the 27th). Some pretty severe thunderstorms had passed through earlier in the morning, so the flying schedule was a bit restricted. The crowd wasn't big at all, so [...]

Soviet Field Howitzer SU 122 (M-30) Italeri 1/35 kit

by Alan Rush on October 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 3 ≡

This was the first kit I built when I started about 10 years ago. I had done lots of research about proper construction and finishing and thought artillery with figures would give me a chance to try them out. I wrote down that it is [...]

MQ-9 Reaper

by Steven Davis on October 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This was a different kind of build. The kit is from Revell of Germany, but it's a rebox of a previous kit from another manufacturer and it's not a Tamiya style kit. The plastic is very grainy not smooth at all, like a limited production [...]
