Hasegawa 1/72 SOC Seagull

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on October 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is my first RFI post and I've chosen the Hasegawa SOC Seagull as the subject. This is an old kit and not really any particular version of the prototype. For example the kit cowling includes engraved (though inaccurate) cowling flaps [...]

1/48 Tamiya M-8

by Scott Nelson on October 21, 2022 · in Armor · 7 ≡

This will be the companion for the jeep I recently posted. I’ve debated about adding more storage and weathering but decided to wait until I create the actual diorama I have planned. Until the figures get painted, the M-8 is done so here [...]

Panzerwaffe workhorse-Pzkw IV "F" model. Tamiya 1/35

by George Williams on October 20, 2022 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

This is, of course, a Ferrari, in fact it was the Scuderia’s 2017 entry in the Formula One World Championship. Tamiya released this 1/20 scale kit in 2018, and so far, it’s their last F1 kit apart from a couple of re-releases from [...]
