Italeri 1:9 Vespa Motor-Scooter

by Robert Joseph Cookson on March 26, 2023 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

I can't honestly remember the last time I built a model which didn't have a military theme, either armour or aviation. This is a very different subject for me, but it's one close to my heart, because it's a replica of the first mode of [...]

by Tom Bebout on March 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Most recent off the bench is this old AMT P-40 kit. Not really sure they ever offered a M model, but some of their P-40 kits included a fuselage for an E as well as one for the N. The N model had the fuselage extended by 13 inches. Use the [...]
