by Jack Mugan on November 19, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

By Jack Mugan Sometime last year at a model show I managed to pick up a new 48th scale kit from a model company called KINETIC. The vendor had a nice build up of the model on display and he assured me it was built right out of the box. I [...]

Gates Learjet 1/48

by Rickard Malmborg on November 18, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the Revell (Hasegawa) Gates Learjet in 1/48 scale. Despite its age the kit is really nice, well ok you’ll have to live with the raised panel lines. This is my only airliner/bizjet so far and I built is just because I like the [...]

Tiger in the Grass

by Walt on November 17, 2012 · in Armor · 5 ≡

This is the AFV Club/Skybow 1/48th scale Tiger I . I am not an armor expert so I cannot speak to the kits accuracy, but I do believe everyone will agree it looks like a Tiger I and will not be confused for any other tank. I would also [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F6F-5P conversion

by Dan DeSilva on November 16, 2012 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Lindberg 1/200 Snap Fit Space Shuttle..

by Jim Watts on November 15, 2012 · in Space · 4 ≡

Yes another Lindberg, a kit that took a bit of work, as it's got the boosters moulded to the external tank, but a bit of sawing, filling, refining and scratch-building and she came close enough for me. I know the digital image is wrong the [...]

Here is my 1/48 Revll Germany He-111H-22. I got it second hand from a good internet model friend in England. I had not really considered doing a doodlebug carrier, until I found out what this kit included. When I saw an aeromaster sheet [...]
