Eduard Weekend Bf-109E-1 kit, mated to Alley Cat's Bf-109B-2 conversion, using the Alley Cat decals. Lots of folks (thanks to the "experts" - as my father with 150 independent patents once described an "expert": a drip [...]

My favorite Five….an exciting new series….

by Bill Koppos on January 21, 2013 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Well maybe not exciting, interesting perhaps, but maybe not, mildly amusing?...oh never mind. I was sitting the other day with nothing to do (300 plus model kits all over the place and nothing to do? hmmm. Maybe my wife is right.) and [...]

It's a big one! (If I had £1 for every time I've heard that, I would have £1) Never mind the quality, feeeeel the quantity!

1/48 “Humpin Honey” Monogram B-29 Superfortress

by Billy Smith on January 20, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

My planes just keep on getting bigger, actually I've always loved the b-29. As an avid fan of WWII it was a must to be a fan of the b-29 considering it was the plane that dropped the nuclear bombs on Japan. Originally I was going to [...]

Tamiya 1/35 AAPV7 w/UGWS

by Jeff Brundt on January 19, 2013 · in Armor · 1 ≡

I picked this one up at a local model show for $10. Again built stock out-of-box. Painted with Model Master acrylics and weathered with oil washes, filters and pastels. Figure painting is certainly not my forte, especially modern US 3-tone [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 Rufe

by Jeff Brundt on January 19, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Nothing special about this one. A classic Tamiya kit that still holds up well even more than 30 years after its original release. I built mine stock out-of-the-box. Painted with Tamiya acrylics. A nice, quick and pleasant build.
