Dassault Rafale.

by Tony Prince on December 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Another pretty French aircraft in my opinion. This is the Hobby Boss 1/48 scale kit, which is labelled as the 'C' model. After studying dozens (hundreds?) of photos on the web I concluded that it was probably one of the early ones as [...]

Harrier G.R.1A (AMMO/Kinetic 1/48)

by Dmitry Stropalov on December 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Harrier is a special subject to me, because FROG's (produced by NOVO actually) G.R. Mk.I was one of my first plastic kits, if not the very first one. Modern aviation is not my usual subject, but I've made an exclusion for this build. This [...]

ICM 1/48 Bristol Beaufort Mk.1

by Paul van Acker on December 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

1/48 ICM Bristol Beaufort Mk.1 L9878 No 217 Sqn RAF St Eval, Autumn 1941. ICM have really done something special with this kit. Mine is OOTB but there is plenty of room for additional detail, especially in the cockpit if you wanted. This [...]

58 year old Hurricane

by Rob Anderson on December 11, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 23 ≡

Those who have seen my posts here know I have a love of vintage Monogram kits, all vintage kits really, but especially Monogram. I always try and get as close to the original release date of a kit as I can find, and afford since the molds [...]

Takom Blitz Panzer III N 1/35

by Mark P Hartig on December 11, 2022 · in Armor · 7 ≡

This one gave me trouble all the way from start to finish. The model itself was very nicely molded, sharp and crisp with well hidden ejector pin marks and small sprue gates. It was also rather ill fitting and required a fair bit of drill [...]

A6M5C Zero – Academy 1/72

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

In my collection there is almost nothing about Japanese artifacts, so I decided to build this so much important aircraft of that country, operated during WWII. I chose A6M5C Zero Fighter 1/72 scale from Academy kit, (Naval Pilot Takeo [...]

Matchbox 1/72 Douglas A-20G Havoc (Green Hornet)

by Bob Torres on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Another build from the Matchbox Group Build to celebrate Matchbox's 50th Anniversary to when they first released plastic model kits. This may not be the best A-20 out there but I feel for its time, Matchbox did a nice job on providing the [...]

Academy 1/144 CH-47 RAF

by Dennis Meyers on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

After the challenges presented by my previous Classic Airframes P6E Hawk and ICM Ghost of Kyiv projects this project was a nice pallet cleanser. I saw a great build of this kit at a recent show that inspired me to do my own. This kit is [...]

by freeyoko87 on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

HI evryone ))I am from Ukraine,There is a war in my country. I want to help my country in some way. I identify whether there is a demand for paper models of aircraft, helicopters and other equipment in electronic form (PDF file)? Is [...]

'Ooops!, there goes the Holiday Bonus' Forklift Incident

by Charles King on December 9, 2022 · in Diorama · 22 ≡

After these photos were taken, I'd realized I did not add a crucial detail. The slight damage to the ground, when the forks came in contact. Not there would have been any major difference to the ground or tarmac, but it would make for a [...]
