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 [...]

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 [...]

Soviet SU-76M Soviet SPG (1/100)

by Simon Nagorsnik on April 21, 2023 · in Armor · 3 ≡

Soviet SU-76M (Zvezda 6239) I´ve planed to fix this project within two days- As a small New Year's challenge 😉 Didn't quite work, the processing of the base took too much time... However, quite a nice kit and for it´s size quite good [...]

Mr. Rust's flight to Moscow – how a 19-year-old and his Cessna 172 made history.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Isn't it amazing how many contemporaries can still remember Mathias Rust's flight to Moscow? 36 years have passed since that 28 May 1987, and yet the act of the then very young pilot remains present to the public. It is interesting to [...]

Review: Hobby Boss 1/48 Hurricane Mk I Review

by iModeler Youtube Picks on April 21, 2023 · in Reviews

Hawker Sea Hurricane, in 1/48, by Airfix.

by Tony Prince on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

An enjoyable build (for the most part) and one which I will be happy to do again, as I have the standard Hurricane in my stash. Commendable fit except for the interior cockpit framing interfering with the fuselage/ wing joint. Solved by [...]
