Freedom Is Not Free – Korean War Veterans Memorial in 1:48 (Scratchbuild)

by Michel Verschuere on April 23, 2023 · in Armor · 9 ≡

This is my entry to Louis' @lgardner GB on the Korean War. This year marks the 70th year of its ending in 1953. I first thought about building a scene out of the war itself but I then reconsidered after some reflection. For once, I did [...]

Fairey Fulmar series - Raul Hrubisko – 1/72 scale

by Santiago Hrubisko on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hi My father has just finished this new project. We have been working for a couple of months on it. This is the final list and the final photos. To be honest, I never thought that the Fulmar series has 22 models. I thought that it would be [...]

1/72 F6F-5 Hellcat

by Michael Smith on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

My attempt to make headway on my stash of unbuilt kits settled on a second 1/72 Academy F6F this week. In 2021 I built this kit as Alex Vraciu's F6F-3 - (link). This time I would build the kit as a F6F-5 in overall Glossy Sea Blue. I [...]

Grumman F-4F4 Wildcat (Tamiya 1/48)

by Christopher Church on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Another 20+ year resident of the stash. Built straight from the box with the exception of the EZ-Line antenna. Finished with Mr. Color paints, Tamiya panel line wash, and AK weathering pencils. The kit decals added some drama but [...]

U.S. M3A1 White Scout Car (1/100)

by Simon Nagorsnik on April 22, 2023 · in Armor · 4 ≡

Zveda's M3 Scout Car (6245) Another 1/100 "quicktime" project. And once again, building the base took much more time than the model itself😄 I really like the White scout car and halftracks because of their shape and [...]

Mars Attacks!

by Brian Mennenoh on April 22, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 22 ≡

This is my most recent commission piece for a local store. Seems like there will be more based on this one. Definitely a fun paint project. Mars Attacks is an entertaining movie. Not too deep or anything but definitely a classic at this [...]

Airfix 1/72 Vulcan B.2

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

The new tool Airfix Vulcan is superior in every respect (unfortunately, also for the price) to the original issue dated back in 1983. The build is straight forward. However, the massive model size poses challenges along the build. Your [...]

The Fokker D.XXI of LVA

by Alfred van Paaschen on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hi all, This is another kit I built last year. There are several things that could have been done better, but still I think it’s a lovely little plane. The kit is a Special Hobby 48181 and built OOB. Hope you like it. A bit of [...]

"This one is SMALL and this one is FAR AWAY!" (Father Ted)

by Ross Paton on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Decided to make a Mini Me of Airfixes Typhoon. Hunted down a second hand Hasegawa 1/48 and painted and decalled it the same as Airfix. Not a bad kit. Bought a couple of Eduard accesories. Biggest noticable difference, apart from the [...]

by Simon Nagorsnik on April 21, 2023 · in Armor · 4 ≡

The Steyr RSO (Raupenschlepper Ost) is a full-track tractor that was developed and built for the Wehrmacht during World War II. It was intended to facilitate the supply of the fighting units under the problematic road, ground and weather [...]
