Hasegawa (x2) 1/72 F-15DJ Eagle Aggressor

by Greg Kittinger on March 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This project took a few left turns. I had secured two Hasegawa F-15C kits over the years, either from ebay or from vendors at model shows. A few years back I saw a DMX decal set for Japanese F-15 aggressors, as the color schemes really [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/76 Jadgpanther Tweaked Just a Bit

by David Garcia on March 7, 2022 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I really like Matchbox 1/76 armor (armour) kits. The kits were made by a different hand because they do not exhibit the heavy engraving of their aircraft kits. This is my second attempt at building this kit. I used pastels to dust it up [...]

Me-108 Taifun - 1/72

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on March 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I built this model to attend GB about Mediterranean Conflicts in our local model club, focused in Tripoli, Libya, January 1942. The Heller kit was originally released around the early 70s. Parts are still sharply molded and fit together [...]

1/48 Sopwith Dolphin

by Paul van Acker on March 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

1/48 Copper State Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin, 16 Sqn RFC 1918. Fun, easy build with ez line fine rigging. My first build of this brand but definitely not the last. I have their other kits, but the more WW1 1/48 they bring out, the more I'll do. ?

20 - Bandai Space Aircraft Carrier

by Anthony Ricco on March 7, 2022 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡

This was a really fun build and one I'm really happy with, from the Space Battleship Yamato or Star Blazers series. I tried some new techniques on it like preshading the panel lines, and in this subject matter I really like how it worked [...]

by George Schembri on March 7, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Finally got to complete this D3A1 Val as part of the 80th Anniversary Build of Pearl Harbour Attack, thanks to Lis (@Lis) for starting this GB. Info indicated the markings are of L.Cmdr. Egusa's Val 'BI-231' from the Carrier Soryu with the [...]

Hobby Boss General Dynamics YF-16 A

by Eduardo Augusto Rodrigues Conci on March 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hello Fiends, This time, i'm showing here a kit that I built many years ago, where my skills weren't so good yet, and still aren't (always improving and learning), but I was already mastering some camouflage with airbrush with hands free, [...]

Tamiya P-38F MTO, USAAF 1/48th Tunisia 1943

by Chuck A. Villanueva on March 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

To say that the Tamiya P-38 was a joy to build is an understatement. Having built the Academy and Hasegawa Lightning's which are good models of the P-38, just that Tamiya had really taken a rather complicated twin boom air frame and made [...]

My friend Vincent.

by Joe Boylan on March 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

You never know where this hobby will lead you. Three years ago, a friend of mine, knowing I am a bit of a history nut and modeler introduced me to Vincent who resides at a local nursing home here. Vincent was a bombardier on B-24's [...]
