MiG-21R for the 'Under Another Flag' GB

by IAN JACKSON on February 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

So just about eight weeks on this one, everything you see (except the roundels & side number) is straight from the Eduard box, no after-market used at all. Paint is all acrylic and all mixed 'until it looks about right'. And therein [...]

30 - Airfix 1/6 – Skeleton "What I'll look like when my model stash is finally completed." @gwskat

by Anthony Ricco on February 20, 2023 · in Figures · 23 ≡

It's Mr Bones, an ancient Airfix kit from 1965. Was fun to do. My wife is a high school biology teacher and so he now hangs happily in her classroom.

Pegasus 1/32 Aerial Hunter Killer from T2

by Carlos Gomez on February 20, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 7 ≡

This is my rendering of the aerial hunter killer from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The kit went together well and was very Bandai-like in how the parts fit. The only modification was replacement of the molded compressor fans with resin [...]

SR-71 & XB-35

by Jay Mitchell on February 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

A friend of mine was given two old kits , he asked me to build them for him. One was a 1/72 Revell SR-71 with a drone mounted on top... the other was an AMT/Ertl 1/72 XB-35 flying wing... The SR-71 was simple to build. If it had been [...]

Revell 1/72 Shackleton AEW

by Kevin Rowbotham on February 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Here is my Shackleton built pretty much out of the box but I added screen wipers and detailed the cockpit. An unusual scale for me although it is still quite a large kit when finished. The model was finished with Tamiya XF's and, as I [...]

Eduard 1/48 P-51D-5 Mustang "Nooky Booky II"

by David Butler on February 18, 2023 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

2nd kit of 2023- first time building an Eduard kit. Overall it was a mixed experience, detail was amazing inside and out but definitely a level of "fiddliness" that was frustrating. Some self inflicted wounds along the way as [...]

Otaki 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate "Frank"

by Bob Torres on February 18, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Another old build that I decided to do a little work to. This was originally finished as a factory fresh build since the markings are from the second prototype of the Ki-84. This is an Otaki kit that was first released in 1973. Not too [...]

Team Suzuki ECSTAR GSX-RR '20 – Tamiya 1/12

by John vd Biggelaar on February 18, 2023 · in Automotive · 30 ≡

When George @chinesegeorge posted several of his beautiful bikes and Spiros @fiveten created a special bike group, I could simply not resist to enter with a kit myself. Although no experience at all with building motorcycles, I definitely [...]

Clash of the Titans

by Carl Christensen on February 17, 2023 · in Diorama · 20 ≡

I've always wanted to do a diorama of 2 tanks that have rammed each other and then got stuck. I'm quite happy with how this has come out. There is quite a lot going on here, but I think it captures the frenzied panic of everyone trying to [...]

1/144th Zvezda Boeing 757-200

by Jim Sullivan on February 17, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here is a model of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign aircraft. I would like to stress that this is a model and not in any way to be seen as a political statement. I just really liked the markings and that big American flag on the tail. When [...]
