The now defunct Western Pacific airlines was one of the first leasing their aircraft as "Flying Billboards". They advertised mainly for casinos, cartoon shows & schools such as this one. This is Minicrafts's 737-300 with Daco [...]

I build this kit last year, it's a Machi C.205 Veltro converted into a Macchi C.202 Folgore. In my younger years (late '80's last century) I had build the 1:48 Tauro Models, Macchi C.202 Folgore and still have that plane. Everytime a [...]

From the Dark Side

by AL HOFFMAN on March 15, 2013 · in Armor

This is a Revell of Germany 1/72nd Abrahms with resin stowage. Can't beat R of G in braille scale armor. The markings are dry transfer. Just a touch of weathering.

by Bill Koppos on March 15, 2013 · in Armor · 10 ≡

After TONS of fiddling I'm calling this done (except of course for the commander figure I'm still fooling with). AFV Club's Churchill namesake is a great kit. When I saw the boxart of this new release, festooned with spare track link [...]
