1/48 Hasegawa Macchi 202

by guy barker on January 27, 2023 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

A tale of a build and a half. I built the sublime Hasegawa Macchi 202 quite some time ago. The kit is a super model with only one tricky part of the build and that's the gun troughs over the engine. Everything else is sweet. I used a True [...]

Tiny Walker: Bandai's AT-M6, 1/550 scale

by Eric Berg on January 27, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 10 ≡

I’m by no means a Star Wars fanboy or have any Star Wars doo dads in my work cave and office nor have I watched one episode of the new Mandalorian series. Along with my future wife, I did join the jubilant sidewalk party while waiting in [...]

TAMIYA T34-85

by Tony Anderton on January 27, 2023 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Built straight OOB. No problems, just a fun little kit to build while I'm recovering from illness. Few things i DONT like about this kit is the gaping chasm where the driver should be if, as i did, you build it with the hatch open, and [...]

1/48 Tamiya A6M2-N "Rufe" – 36th Air Wing, Borneo

by Colin Latta on January 27, 2023 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is Tamiya's aging 1/48 "Rufe",(released in 1973!) Its a nice, simple build out of the box, and with a little help, can look quite presentable. I tweaked it with lots of weight in the front of the float, added Eduard's [...]

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on January 27, 2023 · in Armor · 4 ≡

After a longer pause and for some diversion between all the aircraft, my dad built a little armour model. Great Tamiya kit, falls together, painted with Tamiya XF-60/62/64 Build thread here (link)

Steyr RSO 1/35 Das Werk

by Erik Kok on January 27, 2023 · in Armor · 7 ≡

This is the RSO from Das Werk I finished some time ago. It had been unfinished on the shelf of shame for some time as I wanted a tarp on it but I did not know how and could not find a suitable material. Eventually I made it from thin but [...]

Review: H-K Models 1/48 B-25J Mitchell

by Tom Cleaver on January 27, 2023 · in Reviews · 30 ≡

What became the B-25 Mitchell medium bomber originated in a 1938 Army Air Corps proposal for a twin-engine medium bomber. The February 1938 proposal from North American aviation was accepted and followed by the production of the NA-40 [...]

Heller 1/72 Caudron 714

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

The Caudron Renault C.710 series was one of the emerging types out of a French 1936 specification, calling for a light fighter of wooden construction that could be built rapidly in large numbers without upsetting the production of existing [...]

About tank carts, fire extinguishers ...and photographing models: two pieces of Japanese airfield equipment

by Roland Sachsenhofer on January 26, 2023 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A statement at the beginning: when purchasing these two kits, it is not so much the fascination for the respective original that is in the foreground, but rather their modelling possibilities. Presumably, most miniatures of this Japanese [...]
