Academy 1/35 Panzer II Ausf. F

by Derek Bowen on October 9, 2023 · in Armor · 16 ≡

This was a very easy-to-build kit and my first attempt at building a tank. All my previous models have been planes. The only thing I really struggled with is the construction and installation of the tracks. That was a nightmare for me. [...]

An old favorite!

by Clint Miller on October 9, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

This is the old Revell P-40c. It's still a great little kit after all this time and I always have at least a couple it my stash. With a little work this kit is capable of being a show stopper. I'm not a master modeler by any means, but I'm [...]

by Robert Royes on October 8, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

While I didn't know him other than from the contact on this sight, I feel that i knew him enough to call him such. After discussing the aircraft that I worked on and squadrons that I was attached to, He sent me these photos. I planned on [...]
