Tamiya 1:48 Focke-Wulf Fw-190A-8/A-8R2 Kit #61095

by George Henderson on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

I'll let Eduard explain the story... What can be said about the Tamiya kit other than the well known wheel size issue that I let be and the upper gun cowl fit. I went over a lot of builds on different sites and saw that many modellers [...]

by Rick Schad on March 24, 2023 · in Automotive · 8 ≡

Hello fellow model builders. Here is my latest build, the 1/24 Porsche 911 GT2 by Tamiya. I added custom wire details and of course lots of post race weathering. This little build took me about 20 hours. Great kit that practically builds [...]

ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader (Drone Carrier)

by Kevin Rowbotham on March 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

A recently completed ICM 1/48 DB26 Invader built out of the box. I replaced the kits BQM-34A (Q-2C) Firebee with a KDA-1 (Q2A) as I'm given to understand that the aircraft never flew with a mixed 'load' (?) Finished with Tamiya XF's and [...]

I snapped this up from Sprue Brothers right before the sanctions were in place, so this may be one of the last Zvezda models I (or anyone else, for that matter) do for a while. It was in the mail when the war started and arrived on my [...]

The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was a human-guided bomb used by Japan in the latter days of WWII. Translating to “cherry blossom”, its official name of “Navy Suicide Attacker” hardly evokes thoughts of delicate pink petals lazily drifting [...]

Post War Brits

by IAN JACKSON on March 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

So let's start with the wee BAC Jet Provost: Truthfully there isn't too much to say, enough has been written about this wee gem, so I'm not going to try to add anything other than this: If you need a 'mojo restoration project' , you could [...]
