My 2022 Builds
I've been looking at all the fine modeling projects here for some time, so I decided to post my builds for the year for my first post. Happy Holidays!
'P' (Pursuit) sub collection - Raul Hrubisko - 1/72 – 243 models done
Hi
I would like to share with you a couple of photos showing our recent achievement. With the P40 series done we have concluded the P (Pursuit) sub collection with 243 models. As we usually do we try to represent most of the different [...]
Arma Hobby 1/72 Sea Hurricane Mk.Ib
Yet another fantastic kit from Arma Hobby.
It comes with some beautiful 3D printed parts that require some surgery to build the kit.
If I can do it then I would hazard that anyone can.
Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey.
Painted with [...]
RF-101C McDonnell Voodoo, 1/72 Hasegawa
This might be the first boxing of Hasegawa's Voodoo kit. Done up in an early camouflage scheme circa 1964, where the Voodoo had already been operating in Southeast Asia. I used some of the kit's decals, [ which is from an AMT boxing] and [...]
1/24th Revell Shelby Mustang
What to do when a model kit isnt that great? make it look worse.
the 'crash diorama' is always a plan b for me, in case i mess a kit up, but in this instance it was well thought out and planned before i even touched the kit, as it was a [...]
1/32 Trumpeter P-47D-1 “In the Mood”
One more tick to my bucketlist.
This is 1/32 Trumpeter P-47D-1 with the markings of “In the Mood” flown by Captain Gerald W Johnson from 61st Fighter Squadron 56th Fighter Group based in Halesworth England during late 1943.
Cockpit [...]
1/48 afv from Gasoline.
Gasoline 1/48 Krupp Sd Kfz.101 Panzer 1 sIG 33 and Panzer 1 Ausf. B . 1/48 is the best scale when you just want a simple, fast, yet cool build when building armour. It was fun. Many more 1/48 armour builds to come. This is fun.
One more for the year
Vintage Tamiya 1/25 Metal Figure. This issue was from 2003, but the molds are from the 70s I do believe. This was the time they were releasing their range of 1/25 scale Tanks. I added the insignia on the helmet with home made decals, [...]
F4F-4 Wildcat – Cat of the Pacific War
(link)
Today story will be short. The Airfix F4F Wildcat model is quite a popular model available for many years. I wanted to face him. As it turned out, it has a lot of imperfections that can effectively discourage novice modelers. [...]
Minicraft/Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler – Desert Storm
This is a rather old kit, but did include engraved panel lines. My experience with Hasegawa engraved lines is they can be a bit too shallow to hold panel line wash well, so I deepened them a bit. The intakes are just solid blanks, as the [...]
