by Jeff Groves on April 7, 2024 · in Show Reports · 4 ≡

A surprisingly beautiful day in central Indiana after a week of rain, perfect for IPMS Roscoe Turner who held their annual show yesterday at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, Indiana. This is a highlight of the Region 4 model show [...]

Fast Canis Lupus...1/20 Wolf WR 1 1977

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on April 7, 2024 · in Automotive · 7 ≡

After a longer pause, my dad finished another race car. Tamiya kit, first released in 1978, this is the 2010 edition with Cartograf decals. Sadly they didn´t perform as used to, so painted all the gold on the main body with Gunze H9 Gold. [...]

F104G Starfighter

by Kristof Maes on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Finally got to finish this one. It’s the 1/32 Starfighter from Italeri. I build it in the Belgian Air Force color scheme with decals from Daco. This FX65 was in service from 1964 and decommissioned in 1987. It was part of the 10th wing [...]

Tamiya P-51D, 'Petie 2nd', John C. Meyer.

by Colin Latta on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is the Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as John C. Meyer's "Petie 2nd". Typical of Tamiya, easy assembly and a nice fit. The only weak points are the wheel well not going back to the spar, and a prop that is too wide and [...]

Hey everyone. If you've read my "Why I Hate Building Airplanes" post (below), you know I have a love hate relationship with modeling aircraft. However, in an attempt to keep my challenge going after the FW190 and Corsair, I [...]

1/144 AFV Club CH-124 Sea King RCN

by Boris Grgić on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

It was surprisingly good for surprisingly cheap kit. Kit comes with sprues for two identical models. Decals are basic (US Navy, Royal Canadian Navy and Indian Navy) but parts are very well molded and fit well together. Models are quite [...]

Mini Hobby Models 1/48 Mil Mi-24P Hind

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

A re-box of Monogram-Revell mold. This basic kit is an old-time building experience with plenty of seams to seal. The cockpit is in dire need of replacement if one decides to have the access doors and panels open. The big canopy is not [...]

Siam Spit...1/48 Supermarine Spitfre FR.XIVe, Royal Thai Airforce

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Suggesting my dad most of the time more rarely seen or exotic schemes. So here´s his latest effort. Academy Special Edition kit version, decals form the kit and Siam Scale, added Eduard seatbelts, rocket mounts and bomb racks. Painted [...]

by Aramis Sebastian on April 6, 2024 · in Figures · 3 ≡

Regarded as Napoleon's finest general in the art of defensive warfare and the equal of the Emperor himself in that area of endeavor. He is mentioned in Joseph Conrad's short story "The Duel" (as well as Ridley Scott's film [...]

by Colin Latta on April 5, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is the early ICM (Tamiya knockoff) 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as "Miss Marilyn II". As an early ICM kit, there were a number of challenges, HUGE sink marks, short shots, incorrect detail parts copied from other kits, and a [...]
