Nieuport 17: William Wellman

by gary sausmikat on October 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Hi All, With my last two builds, this one, and the next upcoming post I seem to be on a bi-wing kick. Not planned that way but that's the way it worked out. At the start of this build I came upon the fact that film director, William [...]

Greetings to all forum members. Every now and then, among so many military models, a civilian model appears... This time I want to show you this Aoshima kit, in 1/12 scale. It is built straight out of the box. The fit of the parts is good, [...]

by Bill Koppos on October 21, 2022 · in Armor · 9 ≡

There's plenty of info out there on this one, so won't go hunting and pecking too much. Just suffice to say, this one was the load carrier of the Panzer divisions for most of the war. Tamiya just came out with two "F" versions, [...]
