Well it's been a long time since I got round to posting something but I have been plugging away in the man cave and checking in every day to see what everyone's been building. The Hellcat is one of my favorites along with it's little [...]

Tamiya kit, 1:48 F4U Corsair

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A very easy kit to build with good decals also. I actually used three different Testors paint colors on the main body of this model. I added the skull and crossbones decal to the tail because I had it left over, even though I am aware [...]

Review: Wildcat Arriving!, A Review of the New Eduard's 1/48 Grumman F4F-3

by Chuck A. Villanueva on August 14, 2022 · in Reviews · 19 ≡

Ever since building the very good but not perfect Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat back in the mid 90's you would think that they would follow up with a -3 and FM late Wildcat. But no we were just given just the one. Hobby Boss has produced a series [...]

Lindberg kit, USS Nautilus (SSN-571)

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This kit was first introduced in the early 1950’s and is still apparently in the same mold configuration. I had recently ordered it through Amazon and the two hull sides came a bit warped but some rubber bands helped to hold the sides [...]

Revell F4U-4 Corsair VMF-214 “Black Sheep” Squadron, off the USS Sicily (CVE-118) Korea 1951

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This model was ok to build but the wing to wing roots presented a problem in the fit of them. But with patience, I finished it. The decals are of good quality and I had extras which I reapplied two times because I had the wrong placement [...]

Ducati 1199 Panigale S (1:12 Tamiya)

by Gavin Snowdon on August 14, 2022 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

Wow, what a ride! At long last the Ducati is completed, mounted and boxed in a manner of speaking. For the first time ever, I put my completed build into a display case, and boy am I pleased with the results. I hope you like as much as I [...]

Revell USS Arizona (BB-39)

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Ships · 8 ≡

A good model to paint and assemble but required some cutting to fit the deck to the two piece hull. About 20 hours to paint and assemble using Testors paints and Tamiya extra thin cement.

Gloster Gladiator 56 Squadron

by Max Williams on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Hello all, I'm new to iModeller but very happy to be here. By way of an introduction, this is my model of the ICM Gladiator finished in the colours of 56 Squadron. There's a little artistic licence in that there's no evidence that I've [...]

Tamiya 1:48 P51-D Mustang kit

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is a kit that almost puts itself together. Fine Tamiya quality as usual with good decals. About 20 hours to paint and assemble using Testors spray and bottle paints. Instructions are easy to follow. I used Tamiya extra thin cement [...]
