by James Kelley on November 20, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Tamiya 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6. I finished this up early last month, but didn't feel like shooting it until today. Built out of the box, with only ceramic wire antenna added. Airbrushed with MRP RLM 74/75/76.

Hello everyone! This time I share with you a subject that is closer to my heart. It is a strange, but beautiful, as a real italian engineering creation. It was develepoed for one reason, to win the well known Schneider Trophy for Italy in [...]

Lela Presse focus on books covering mostly French equipment but also other nations. For the French, at least, they aim at definitive and are comprehensive and accurate. They are not cheap but for the cost you get everything you could [...]

Mach2's Arado Ar232B transport

by Paul Higgins on November 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This build is part of the 'Imperial German...' group build, and given the age of the model and presentation of the parts, it is definitely a challenge. However, I'm pleased with the eventual outcome and this represents about two months of [...]

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" & [...]

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 [...]
