Two Italian Indians..

by Jim Watts on November 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Ok ok, maybe not, how about a couple of 1/72 Italeri AH-64D Longbows... with a touch of modelling applied. Just finished these two, and they were jolly good fun. The camo one is my effort to model an Israeli Saraf, and the grey one, is my [...]

“Gustavo!” – Italian for Gustav…Part 2

by Brett Peacock on November 28, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This is the older Revell Bf109G-10 kit, also done in Italian RSI markings. It's a very straightforwards kit, with basic detail (no slats and flaps to play with!) and apart from a too-small Prop diameter, a fairly accurate rendition of the [...]

Revell 1/12 scale 2010 Ford Shelby GT500

by George Tufnail on November 28, 2012 · in Automotive · 4 ≡

One of my few ventures into automotive modeling, I won this kit at a club raffle, and just had to build it. I built it box stock, only painting the stripes instead of trying to use the battleship armor they give you for decals. The [...]

Italian MBT C1 Ariete in 1/35th scale

by Jose Lucero on November 27, 2012 · in Armor · 1 ≡

This is the Trumpeter kit in 1/35th scale. It's a really good kit of the first version of the Ariete. Several resin sets where created to update it. Trumpeter released an updated kit that you can use to build an Ariete that was active in [...]

AZ 1/48 Vultee Vengeance

by Bryan W. Bernart on November 27, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Another quirky build-part of the AZ mystique. No idea of how accurate it is, but it's the only one out there. Not good enough for US combat forces, it served well, particularly with the Indian A.F. There is a great account of Vengeance [...]
