One more for the year

by Rob Anderson on December 24, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 6 ≡

Vintage Tamiya 1/25 Metal Figure. This issue was from 2003, but the molds are from the 70s I do believe. This was the time they were releasing their range of 1/25 scale Tanks. I added the insignia on the helmet with home made decals, [...]

F4F-4 Wildcat – Cat of the Pacific War

by capt. R on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

(link) Today story will be short. The Airfix F4F Wildcat model is quite a popular model available for many years. I wanted to face him. As it turned out, it has a lot of imperfections that can effectively discourage novice modelers. [...]

Minicraft/Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler – Desert Storm

by Greg Kittinger on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is a rather old kit, but did include engraved panel lines. My experience with Hasegawa engraved lines is they can be a bit too shallow to hold panel line wash well, so I deepened them a bit. The intakes are just solid blanks, as the [...]

Airfix 1/48 TSR 2

by Mervyn Cook on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Sorry about the photo! I built it when it first came out, strangely the cockpit was better in the 1/72 kit, which had very good decals, not found in the 48 release. Closed up, with tinted windows, you can't see anything anyway. You gonna [...]

by dagored on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Tamiya's wonderful 1/48 kit has just been released, and now I have put together Hasegawa's 1/72 kit. Hasegawa's 1/72 F-35A can be easily assembled with a small number of parts. This time, I assembled this Aggressor-specification thing to [...]
