1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Type 21

by Michael Smith on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I've always wanted to build a set of 1941-42 IJN carrier airplanes, and picked up a complete set of Hasegawa kits last summer. This is the first to make it to the workbench, a A6M2b that appears to be a 1993 issue. It is finished as Lt. [...]

Eduard 1/48 Wildcat Mk.VI

by Alistair Gauld on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

I got this one as part of my Birthday present last year along with a Bunny Club Membership. Of course this one had to be an FAA subject. The colours should probably be the equivalent ones but I don't have them so standard TSS it was and to [...]

Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. J Remote Control! by Tamiya 1/35

by Joel Rogers on April 20, 2024 · in Armor · 10 ≡

I was working on several other models, as we often do, when I got distracted and saw this was available. I was blown away by the fact that Tamiya had 1/35 scale RC versions of some of their tanks. I had to pick this one up immediately. [...]

Cavalier Mustang

by Chas Bunch on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

For some time, I considered kit-bashing a Mustang to add a rear seat, tall tail, and tip tanks for the Fantasy Mustang I would like to have in 1:1 scale. My piggy bank was never fat enough for the 1:1 version, so I’d have to settle for [...]

Preview: The New 1/48th Scale ICM B-26B Marauder

by Walt on April 20, 2024 · in Reviews · 9 ≡

In the spring of 2023, I got wind of a future release of a New Tool B-26 Marauder kit in 1/48th scale from ICM. The kit was originally scheduled for release in the fall of 2023, but I didn’t care when it was released, I just knew I [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Junkers Ju-87D-1 STUKA

by dagored on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Hasegawa 1/48 Stuka was built. Since this product was a stock item released 25 years ago, it was difficult to apply decals, but other than that, there were no other difficulties and the kit was easy to assemble. The kit is straightened out [...]

Lockheed AP-3C(EW) Orion, 10 Squadron RAAF

by Ray Seppala on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I completed this one some months ago, it is the Hasegawa P-3C kit converted to an RAAF ISR/EW aircraft. The base kit was updated with a Hamilton Hobbies EW conversion set as well as additional scratch building of fittings and antennas not [...]

Lockheed LC-130F Hercules

by Ray Seppala on April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the 1/72 Italeri C-130 kit (Testors boxing) built as an LC-130F of the United States Navy. It represents LC-130F 148321 of VXE-6 which crashed in 1971 at an ice runway 860 miles (1,380 km) from McMurdo Station as a result of two [...]

Lockheed HC-130N Hercules

by Ray Seppala on April 19, 2024 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the original tooling of the Airfix C-130 kit. I have built it as a USAF HC-130N CSAR aircraft or as the USAF puts it "the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory". To build the [...]
