Lindberg 1/200 Snap Fit Space Shuttle..

by Jim Watts on November 15, 2012 · in Space · 5 ≡

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 [...]

The Airfix Bird dog in the scheme of a NZ owned aircraft ZK-NAM. I replaced the ill fitting cokpit roof clear parts, and removed the horrible ejector pin marks on the tail and wings, but left everything pretty much as in the box. Used [...]

Do you like Shermans?

by Stevie Gibson on November 14, 2012 · in Armor · 4 ≡
