by Rick Wilkes on July 28, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Another recent escapee from my "shelf of doom" is this 1/72d scale AJ-2 Savage. I picked up this kit at the last IPMS/USA National in Columbus Ohio and worked on it off and on till last month when I decided to finish it up. There [...]

Another OOB from the old file stash... nice kit, but shows it's age.

Monogram F-84F

Another oldie but a goodie ! OOB all the way. It's a nice kit that never got much attention.

Japanese Type 95 Ha-Go light tank

by Bill Koppos on July 27, 2013 · in Armor · 11 ≡

Time for something that clanks. This 'lil beastie was the only enemy tank to tread on U.S. soil in WW2, a couple being present on frozen Kiska Island in the Aleutians. Dragon's new 1/35 Ha-go is a beauty, easy to build, low parts count. [...]

Since everyone liked the Marine F3F-2, here's a Navy F3F-2 of Fighting 6 aboard USS Enterprise. This is a model of the airplane that Fred MacMurray's character "crashed" during the high altitude test in "Dive Bomber." [...]

by Joe Caputo on July 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

For this one, I chose the scheme from the "Pink Aviation" skydiving aircraft. Unusal aircraft, and paint job !

Tamiya, 1:48 Scale Bristol Beaufighter Mk-VI

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

Another great kit by Tamiya, so what else can I say. Fit was spot on and other than the need of some extra detail in the respective cockpits, the kit is awesome. I only say that because for some it's not enough. Others, (Like me) will [...]

Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale, Kawanishi N1K1-Ja, ‘Shinden’ (George)

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Hey Folks, I've been away for a bit, but still building. Thought I'd post a few pictures of one of my latest builds. Loved the kit and it went together very well. A minimum of fit issues and the detail was nicely done without that [...]
