PAINT MULE: The Modellers Unsung Hero

by George Henderson on April 19, 2024 · in How-to · 8 ≡

We probably all have one and I constantly use mine to try improve myself with things such as mottling and free hand camouflage with left-over paint in the airbrush cup. It's now been eight years since I start using an airbrush and I'm [...]

Review: ICM B-26B Marauder

by Chuck A. Villanueva on April 19, 2024 · in Reviews · 13 ≡

It has been almost 46 years since Monogram gave us the B-26B/C Marauder. Amt also produced a short wing variant as well. 1978 (the year I graduated from California High in Whittier) is when AMT and Monogram first gave us a Marauder in [...]

Me 262A - 1960 and 2017 Airfix 1/72 kits

by Michael Smith on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I recently finished a double-build - two 1/72 Me 262A German jet fighters. The reason for the double-build was that I had two kits - a 1960 Airfix kit which I sat on for so long they came out with a much-improved version in 2017, which I [...]

Major Michael Jackson's Teddy

by Russell Jurco on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This is the venerable Tamiya P-47D with Aeromaster decals. The paints are also Aeromaster. They stir up well years, or could be decades at this point, after purchasing them. The decals did not tear or shatter. I did have serious silvering [...]

A model that I originally didn't want to build at all – but which was (and still is!) a lot of fun: Zlin 137 Agro

by Roland Sachsenhofer on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

The path to building this model of the Zlin 137 Agro is so entertainingly winding and full of twists and turns that I would like to start this report with a description of it. Sometimes the journey changes the perspective in such a way [...]

"Riding My First Mustang" (Mk IV, Eduard 1/48)

by Graeme Street on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Hey Everyone. As you may recall, I have been trying to challenge myself more with attempting more plane models and getting myself out of my armored comfort zone. I started with the Wurger, then onto the Corsair and now I've tried riding [...]

REVELL Bf109 G-6

by Tony Anderton on April 18, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here is my latest build after quite a long, ongoing illness. Its the 1:32 Revell Bf109 G-6. The build itself was basically OOB, except for some PE seat belts, and a seat "pad" made from an off cut of material (again, not correct, [...]

It’s here! ICM 1/48 B-26B Marauder

by Tom Cleaver on April 17, 2024 · in News · 14 ≡

Christmas in April! There on the front porch was a big box from Prague, with the Kool Kitz from Eduard: the 1/72 Bf-109F double kit, and the Bf-109G-2, all beautiful. The 1/48 FM-1 (the first kit I ever managed to convince them to do) with [...]

Amtech 1/48 P-40K

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

The series of AmTech's Curtiss P-40 Warhawks explores a highly diversified topic of Allied fighter both, it terms of variants and camouflage schemes. The kit origins from Ertl and was once among the better games in town with respect to the [...]
