1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II Convertible

by Frank Cronin on June 12, 2013 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

I built this on commission from the very old Monogram 1/24th kit. Surprisingly for it's age it went together rather well. He had the kit and when he gave it to me to build it was missing quite a few parts. I had to search around and I [...]

Super Cobra

by AL HOFFMAN on June 11, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the Academy 1/35 AH-1W Super Cobra. Built OOB. Went together fairly easily. The cockpit glass could have fit better, should have posed it open. Even though the pictures don't show it the finish is rather grainy. Can't remember what [...]

1:48 Hasegawa A-4C Skyhawk

by Drew Tarter on June 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 24 ≡
