Airfix Dehavilland Vampire T11

by Tony Anderton on November 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Yes, this is a starter kit, but, the fit is INCREDIBLE. Did this for a break from the Victory (which is slowly coming along) No filler was required, and all paints used were by Vallejo. Decals went down well with "set" & [...]

by John vd Biggelaar on November 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Presenting the well known Messerschmitt Bf109E-4/Trop, Black-8 of 2.JG27, in the famous dotted desert scheme. During our last holiday in Greece, we took the opportunity to visit Spiros @fiveten and his lovely family. It was a special and [...]

T-72

by Richard Mcstay on November 18, 2022 · in Armor · 29 ≡

Hola from the Spain! This is the Meng 1/35 kit of the T-72. I built it at sea last year and sprayed it back on land on my leave. I finished it early February, but was a bit reluctant to post it with current global affairs. But without any [...]

by Eric Berg on November 18, 2022 · in Aviation · 50 ≡

The DB-7B/Boston Mk III was the exported British version of the Douglas A-20C mid-1941. So many Bostons were modified and assembled on British airfields and elsewhere that it can be difficult to pinpoint the actual airframe model just by [...]

Copper State Models 1/32 Caudron G.III

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 18, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

This is a very well designed model. The building experience is much like Wingnut Wings models. The surface areas are crisp with good fabric rendition. Instructions are detailed, but not confusing. You may want to go back and forth through [...]

Review: Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Vb (late) EP120

by Tom Cleaver on November 18, 2022 · in Reviews · 25 ≡

With the arrival of the Fw 190 in August 1941 the Spitfire Vb was outclassed in everything but turning radius. As Al Deere said, “Turning doesn’t win battles!” In an effort to counter the Fw-190 threat at lower altitudes, where the [...]

Monogram B-24D "Sleepy / The Squaw" Bond Tour Markings in 1/48th Scale

by Walt on November 17, 2022 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

I have always really liked the B-24 and have built a few of these kits over the years. Ungainly looking, and never getting the love from the press and many aircrews that the B-17 did, I still love it. When I was young I read a lot of [...]

Facing Challenges

by Dennis Meyers on November 17, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I've heard that there is no such thing as a bad model kit. There are just good kits and challenging kits. I recently built a couple of challenging kits of historically notable aircraft--ICM 1/72 Ghost of Kyiv and Classic Airframes 1/48 [...]
