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

CyberHobby M-46 Patton

by Mark P Hartig on March 6, 2022 · in Armor · 18 ≡

I am working on and off on a series of Patton tanks from the M-46 to the M-60A3 and this is part of that idea. American armor is for the most part kind of boring, especially the earlier stuff since color choices are OD or OD or perhaps OD. [...]

Revell Reissue of 1/24 Fokker Triplane

by Joe Boylan on March 6, 2022 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This one was a real challenge. Apparently the molds are old and the kit had a TON of flash. Was pretty happy with how my "wood" prop turned out. I don't work much on WWI planes, but this was fun and looks nice on the ceiling [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Ki-61 Tony

by Chris Wallace on March 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This was the second time I built the Tony and I was much happier with this model over the older Hasegawa Tony. The cockpit is a gem and after it is complete, you can have the rest of the plane ready for paint in mere hours. Painting was [...]

This vehicle is going to form part of my "Cold War Gone Hot" series of diorama's. It's the old Tamiya Marder that I used in the camnet construction series. I've weathered down the original gloss tone to a more realistic matt [...]

This is a limited edition kit by Dora Wings that was produced for IPMS Netherlands. The kit is generally well fitting and nicely detailed with fine recessed panel lines. The canopy is crystal clear but is a one piece part. I found masks [...]
