Airfix New tooled Spitfire XIX

by Stephen W Towle on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

What I love about these new tooled Airfix kits are the simplicity and directness of the design of models. This one was built OOB. The decals work reasonably well given the price paid for the kit and are way better than some more of the [...]

by Bill Weckel on December 14, 2012 · in Ships · 7 ≡

This is the fourth model I built, and after doing three aircraft, I was in the mood to do a warship. The big Revel 1/72 scale U-boat kit was fairly new at the time, and I was eager to see what I could do with it. The kit is absolutely [...]

by Maxim Bylkin on December 14, 2012 · in Armor · 5 ≡

So far I have not been stopped, continue to post my models :)) This time - artillery, namely French cannon in 1878. Caliber can be 120 or 155 mm, because the model will get a little bigger 48th scale. So it is rather a collective image of [...]
