by Rick Wilkes on November 14, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is my latest completion, and second Tamiya Thunderbolt. I didn't achieve the transparent look on the grey that I was aiming for, but it will have to do..lol The only issues I have with the kit are the oversized hub on the Hamilton [...]

by Marko Rouvinen on November 14, 2012 · in Armor · 8 ≡

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 ≡

Lindberg 1/72 Me-410

by Jim Watts on November 13, 2012 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Yes the old Lindberg Me-410, I do like Lindberg kits, rivet coated, thick canopies, one piece tailplanes, funny shapes here and there, but they are fun to put together.. I didn't do much to this one, just polished up that two part canopy, [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Swordfish

by Larry J. Allen on November 13, 2012 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

This was an 'off and on again' project, mainly due to self induced problems. I still don't have the sequence of rigging steps figured out, and when they should fit in the construction, painting and weathering stages. I had no major [...]
