Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24 Hind

by Chris Wallace on February 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I've always been intimidated by the Hind. It is big and it looks mean. When the Zvezda kit came out, I just had to build it. I'd say it was a much easier build than the Hasegawa Apache but it does require some care and patience closing [...]

by Dennis Meyers on February 1, 2022 · in Armor · 12 ≡

Another Tamiya quarter scale gem. I wanted a short term project so I did this OOB and also did limited the weathering. One error I ran into was that the instructions have you make the cables a little too long. The finished product is [...]

by Anthony Ricco on January 31, 2022 · in Automotive · 12 ≡

My 512 TR is complete, the first road car I've done and I was worried about the paint and how to get that on but it turned out well. I added some engine wiring and some bits and pieces to it to make it my own. I really need to figure out [...]

by David Garcia on January 31, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The model was part of Revell's 1/72 series of WW1 and WWII fighters issued in the early 1960s. I learned about the exploits of Wildcats at Wake Island in the 5th grade and I had to build a model of it. This kit was later issued in a 3 [...]
