by Erich Goldbach on August 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This modeling project was done about 10 years ago and is the results of a conversion of the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Spitfire Mk.Vb to a Seafire L. Mk.III. This build was a joint venture. The basic building, cockpit interior and resin Seafire [...]

1/72 Matchbox F-86 Sabre

by Joe Caputo on August 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

One of our club's themes, was "Snake Bit", or, "something with a snake". (I think the theme was chosen by a car builder, with a Shelby Cobra). Wanting to do something quick (and it shows), I chose the Matchbox F-86 [...]

Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 31, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 15 ≡

This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]

1/48 Monogram Do-335

by Joe Caputo on July 31, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

Another old Monogram kit, with an option to build the two-seater. While it shows it's age, it still holds up pretty good, as do most of the older kits, with a little work. As I dip into the stash, I recall why I bought these in the [...]

D'Antin Pramac Ducati GP4

by George Williams on July 31, 2013 · in Automotive · 13 ≡

Hi folks, just to round off July with something different. Following on from the Honda posted earlier, this is a more up to date offering, another Tamiya 1/12 kit. Team d'Antin Pramac are a private Spanish team, and in 2005 had a deal to [...]

by Frank Cronin on July 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

A few articles back I responded to a contributor that I am of the "I know where the mistakes are and I am not going to tell you" philosophy. Well, here is an example... This is the Mach II 1/72 kit of the Convair C-131. First let [...]
