Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.F

by Simon Nagorsnik on April 17, 2023 · in Armor · 5 ≡

Found this kit in the local toy store. It was a spontaneous idea to join the Matchbox Group Build on Scalemates. Saw, bought and built the model within 2.5 hours. The idea was to paint the whole thing with the paint brush without using the [...]

ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS

by Kevin Rowbotham on April 16, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

The latest off the slab, an ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS built pretty much oob with a few tweaks to cockpit and air filter. Painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with pastels. A quick, easy build and one that I can thoroughly recommend!

Rhodesian Hawker Hunter

by Ian Foulkes on April 16, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Found this stalled project from 20+ years ago. As I'm taking care of my parents at the moment I decided to strip and repaint it. I'd obviously had difficulties with this one when I first made it. The problem was around the wing roots and [...]

by Michael Smith on April 15, 2023 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This little Airfix kit was a Christmas present, and the camouflage intrigued me enough to finish it, even though the kit is not a notable one. But it was well worth it for the lessons it taught me in the mottling effects I can do with an [...]
