Video: A look at Airfix's new-tooling of the 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero

by MakingModelsAgain on October 30, 2011 · in Aviation

Took delivery of this little beauty a few days ago. I was eager to see just what improvements Airfix had made over their dreadful original after my experience with it earlier this year and I have to say the improvements are many. Other [...]

Part 2: The ZERO Resurrected!

by MakingModelsAgain on October 3, 2011 · in Aviation

So what started out as a fun build challenge in a tent one night in the summer, ended up being a full-on test of my ability and patience! It's not perfect by a huuuuge country mile, but it was a great learning experience! It was the first [...]

by MakingModelsAgain on July 10, 2011 · in Aviation

Probably one of my quickest builds in that I didn't start on something else during the build or spend any time away from it for whatever reason - a first for me! The canopy didn't 'nest' like it should, so I had to omit the gunner's [...]

Video: 1/144 P-51D Mustang and Aichi B7A2 Ryusei

by MakingModelsAgain on June 9, 2011 · in Aviation

Another one of those "Oh that'll do!" kits that turn out to be anything but! I still need to locate a small, round decal for the P-51's emblem and something to approximate the 'Margaret IV' which will probably come from some [...]
