Douglas F4D-1 Skyray – Tamiya 1/48

by Andrew H on March 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I'd like to share my most recent completed build, which is another US jet from the 1950s. As you know from the heading, this is the Tamiya F4D-1 Skyray, also affectionately nicknamed the "Ford", a play on the F-four-D moniker. [...]

Tornado GR.1 "Armoured Charmer" (Op Granby), Italeri 1:48

by Marcello Rosa on March 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This is my recently completed Italeri "Gulf War" Tornado, built pretty much out of the box. There were no aftermarket items, but I did add some details using copper wire and Evergreen strips. I found this kit quite enjoyable. [...]

You know i am almost pure aircraft kits builder, so this might surprise you a bit. Yes, this is my first and only figure. I am fan of everything in manga or anime style, I like movies, series, mangas. For some time I was thinking of [...]

1/72nd Hasegawa RF-101C

by Jim Sullivan on March 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I recently acquired this kit and decided to build it as it brought back memories of building one like it four decades ago. I'll call it a nostalgia build. The kit is nicely done with clean crisp molding and little flash other than that [...]

WWII German LWS

by Allen Lee on March 25, 2022 · in Armor · 5 ≡

It’s a re-do work of a WWII German LWS, I made a mistake of using oil base wash to applied onto an oil painted model(see last picture)…then I washed all color away and re painted it. Also added an rubber raft on to it.

Tamiya P-51D Mustang, 1/48. 'The Red Tails'.

by Harvey R. on March 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

A Mustang was an aircraft missing from my collection until a few months ago. I decided to go with Tamiya's rendition of the Mustang over Eduard's more detailed version as at the time I fancied a quick and simple build to get the creative [...]

Desktop BUFF/X-15

by Scott Nelson on March 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here’s a blast from the past from Atlantis, the B-52/X-15 combo kit. Originally produced by Revell, Scalemates says the mold goes back to 1954 for the B-52 and the 1:175 scale combo was first issued in 1961. I wish Atlantis reissuing [...]

Built last year but not yet posted, this was a quick and easy, OOB, build just to relax from the long 1:48 ones, on a rainy weekend. Airfix 1:72. FW-190 A8 "White 3" with the blue-white-blue bands from the Reichsverteidigung [...]

Tamiya A6M2b

by Scott Nelson on March 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

My latest finished kit is this 1/72 A6M2b. It’s another wonder kit from Tamiya. I used Mr. Color Japanese Grey/Green for the overall color. I added white to the grey/green and while painting the effect was much more subtle looking while [...]
