by Jay Biga on September 23, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 17 ≡

This is the venerable Tamiya Sturmtiger. I'm currently working through my pile of shelf queens and this one had been sitting in the pile of shame for a number of years now. I picked it up as a bargain, including the metal ammunition that [...]

Valeriy Grygorenko's 1/48 Gladiator Mk.I

by Spiros Pendedekas on September 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Developed privately as the Gloster SS.37, the Gladiator was RAF's last biplane fighter. Already rendered obsolete by newer monoplane designs even as it was being introduced, it nevertheless saw action in almost all theaters during the [...]

Suzuki RGV (XR89) Tamiya 1/12

by George Williams on September 23, 2022 · in Automotive · 21 ≡

Back in 2014 my friend Jack Mugan @camaro1 posted his build of this kit, it was his first, and, as far as I know, his only motorcycle kit. In fact, Jack was the first person to post a WIP thread on the then new Automotive group. I [...]

by Eric Berg on September 23, 2022 · in Automotive · 13 ≡

1/48 Supermarine Walrus Mk. I

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on September 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Up until Airfix came with their 1/48th scale Walrus, Classic Airframes' was the best option in that scale. The latter, a limited run kit is work intensive by its nature. Moreover, it is a biplane with complex wing parts assembly and [...]

Eduard F4F-3 Wildcat, 1/48. 'The Navy's First Ace'

by Harvey R. on September 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Following Eduard's amazing 2022 new tooling of the infamous A6M2, I eagerly looked forward to their rendition of the Wildcat and this kit certainly doesn't disappoint. Unsurprisingly the first Wildcat Eduard releases is the F4F-3, [...]

Revell BF110G-4 Aims Conversion

by Ross Paton on September 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I am fascinated by these aircraft. Deadly to Lancaster crews right up to the end, even as the day skies belonged to the Allies. This is Martin "Tino" Becker's aircraft. If you don't like resin/ PE/ CA glue or vaccform look away [...]
