Do you like Shermans?

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

I do. I used to hate them. I thought they were very ugly and brutish. I do love T-34s and thought they look very sleek and streamlined. Upon building my first sherman, I fell in love with them too and am in the process of building approx [...]

by Editor on November 13, 2012 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

(link) Here's a very useful instructional video explaining what you can get in the Revell kit boxes - as most of the time you actually get repackaged products of other companies!

by DAVIDE PONTICELLI on November 13, 2012 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is my 2nd Eduard'Mig. Just from the box. I added some wire wheel wells, roof seals and wires inside the cockpit. I used Tamiya acrylics and Gunze with added some "Future". I hope you like it! regards, Davide

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 [...]

by Dany Hovinga on November 12, 2012 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

1/48 PB-1W Conversion

by Dan DeSilva on November 11, 2012 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This conversion languished for a very long time- about 4 years. I got the Paragon PB-1W Conversion, and a Monogram 1/48 B-17G, then the kit and conversion sat, and sat. I got hold of a great reference book- "B-17 In Blue: The Flying [...]

Bf-109G-4 1/32 Promodeler

by Victor R. Russell JR on November 11, 2012 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I started this and a Hasegawa 109G-6 together over 4+ years ago working along with the Floyd Werner video for building the Hasegawa 1/32 109's. It was shelved for a reason I can't remember and I pulled the G-4 down for completion just over [...]
