by Joe Caputo on August 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Italeri is probably known for it's crisp molding, and ease of construction, and this kit was no exception. It was a fairly quick build, and gave me another opportunity to play with a "Tiger Meet" scheme.

1/72 Airfix Fiat G50

by Joe Caputo on August 5, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This was another "club build". We were all building an inexpensive Airfix Fiat G50, any way we chose. I remembered this scheme, and thought I'd give it a try. My national markings are wrong, but they were what I had, and [...]

by Mike Maynard on August 4, 2013 · in Ships · 8 ≡

It's Coast Guard Day, August 4, 2013! I almost forget to honor the founding of my Service's birthday, August 4, 1790. As one might imagine I do build a lot of Coast Guard subjects (most are kitbashed or scratchbuilt) there are very few CG [...]

1/12th Revell "Gambler" Chopper

by Joe Caputo on August 4, 2013 · in Automotive · 3 ≡

As my wife's collection of 1/12 CRevell Choppers grows, I couldn't help but wonder what all the fuss was about. She just loves building these things, so I thought I'd give one a try. Now, I knew it had to be different from hers, and I a [...]
