by Stephen W Towle on December 15, 2012 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This model is one of my favorite Monogram kits. Their B-25 has a typical Monogram fit of being a little loose in the fit dept and is not up to days standards of CAD designed engineered models. However, with some modeling skill,filler and [...]

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 [...]

U-96 "Das Boot"

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 [...]

This is the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate kit, and represents a machine operating from Formosa in late 1944 and early 1945. I built this two years ago, and it was my first attempt at a kit in this scale, and my first attempt at [...]

French Cannon, model 1878, 1:48, scratchbuilt

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 [...]
