AMP 1/72 X-20 Dyna-Soar

by Chris Wallace on January 24, 2023 · in Space · 12 ≡

They can't all be winners, unfortunately. But you can always learn something along the way. I am not sure whether it was the kit or me, but I ran into issues that I couldn't fix. The fuselage is very thin and flimsy and when I tried to [...]

P-51D 1:72 Tamiya from Pacific. Luzon 1945.

by capt. R on January 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

(link) What can you say about the Mustang model from Tamiya? A model from over twenty years ago, which I believe, defends itself very well today. After an exciting end of the year, I took up something simple and nice. Santa came out to [...]

Monogram F-86 Sabre

by Jay Mitchell on January 24, 2023 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

This kit was in a shrink wrapped box with a $2.99 price sticker on it. The box was dated 1976. The kit was in great condition, the old decals looked perfect. I also had a new set of Warbird Decal’s F-86 common stencils & markings [...]

Revell's 1/72 A-20C Havoc/Boston III.

by Bob Torres on January 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

This is an old build that I made back around 1988. I remember having a great time building this kit. I recently gave this a good clean and repaired a missing aerial and loose main wheels. Not too bad for a model made 35 years ago. Back in [...]

Miles Magister (MikroMir 1/32)

by Dmitry Stropalov on January 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Malies Magister was a trainer and acrobatics aircraft designed in the 1930s. I like this classic look of it, and it's visible from the start, that the aircraft is from the Golden Era of aviation. For me, Miles Magister was one of the first [...]
