Dassault Rafale.

by Tony Prince on December 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Another pretty French aircraft in my opinion. This is the Hobby Boss 1/48 scale kit, which is labelled as the 'C' model. After studying dozens (hundreds?) of photos on the web I concluded that it was probably one of the early ones as [...]

Harrier G.R.1A (AMMO/Kinetic 1/48)

by Dmitry Stropalov on December 11, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Takom Blitz Panzer III N 1/35

by Mark P Hartig on December 11, 2022 · in Armor · 7 ≡

This one gave me trouble all the way from start to finish. The model itself was very nicely molded, sharp and crisp with well hidden ejector pin marks and small sprue gates. It was also rather ill fitting and required a fair bit of drill [...]

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

In my collection there is almost nothing about Japanese artifacts, so I decided to build this so much important aircraft of that country, operated during WWII. I chose A6M5C Zero Fighter 1/72 scale from Academy kit, (Naval Pilot Takeo [...]
