1/48 Hobby Craft F8F Bearcat Blue Angels

by Chris Sakowski on March 15, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

Since I posted a Thunderbirds picture I thought it might be fitting to post some Blue Angels. This is the 1/48 Hobby Craft Bearcat straight from the box. No added aftermarket. Nice little kit, but could use some more detail. I painted it [...]

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.

Mr. Churchill’s tank…AFV Club 1/35 Infantry escort….

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 [...]

P-40E Build complete, my apologies for getting toothy again.

by Patrick Herrmann on March 15, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here is the final product! The completed subject of my P-40 build log in the WIP page. I've been in a toothy mood lately so I used Baracuda Cals representing Col. Scott's aircraft. It's finished with MM Acryls, "faded" with a [...]

by Thomas J Berres on March 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 14, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

My latest. Literally no putty, easy build, but kicked my own arse a few times by screwing it up. Splashed thinner on it after it was "done", and had to re-flat coat, among other exercises. Built OOB with the exception of seat [...]

Faux pas II

by John Jeffers on March 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Craig, your not the only one with S.M.S. ( Senior Moment Syndrome ) I posted this on another site and didn't catch the faux pas until the comments started coming in. The wing is suppose to say... "Miami"

Monogram 1/48 F-4C and Hasegawa ground equipment

by Chris Sakowski on March 13, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I guess this is the only thing I have that may remotely count as a diorama. I built this for my dad about 20 years ago and gave it to him for Christmas. It actually has a glass cover. I used Monogram's F-4C Phantom II kit straight from [...]
