It has been a while since I have posted anything here. There are no excuses. I have been quietly building at a slow pace of late. There's no particular reason just that I have been enjoying these curbside kits. I have also been learning [...]

Guerre d'Algérie...1/48 De Havilland Vampire Mk.5 , Armée de l’Air

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on May 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

So, my dad´s French at war theme is almost at the end now, this is the second last model...for now. The new Airfix kit is neither really good nor really bad. The detail in some areas is nice, so are the open flaps options. A major issue [...]

by Allan J Withers on May 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

1/72 Hasegawa, built so long ago I don't remember when, finished in mainly MM enamels and metalizers with Future over kit decals which tended to fall apart.

by Frederick J Seitz III on May 13, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 21 ≡

My wife and I have recently moved from our home in New York to the state of Florida. With all the hoopla attached to such a move, little has been done by yours truly as far as building a models is concerned. If I recall, the last model I [...]

Mustang IV. 19 Sqn. RAF. Late 1944.

by Tony Prince on May 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Being a birthday present, this kit just had to be made carefully & not rushed. Well that certainly was the case here, as it's been on the bench for over twelve months, while I did extensive research. I was put off by the need to do a [...]

ODDBALL SCHEMES & MARKINGS – Hasegawa Fw-190A-5

by Tom Cleaver on May 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

The Airplane: The Fw-190A series was so right in design that - once the problem of providing adequate cooling for the BMW 801 radial engine was solved - the airframe went through little modification other than minor changes associated with [...]

by Bill Koppos on May 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

by Charles King on May 12, 2022 · in Automotive · 12 ≡
