Volvo F6 Beavertail Transport

by Charles King on March 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

This build came about by converting and scratch building, the old Italeri Volvo F6 Fire ladder kit. I had bought this a couple of years ago at an exhibition together with other second hand kits for little or nothing. I did not know what to [...]

Bf 109 B-2 Spanish Nationalist Air force 1939 (ex JG 88/Condor Legion).

by Pablo Pons on March 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hello everyone! This is my first contribution to this site. It's the old 1:72 scale Heller kit. I finished my model with Vallejo Model Air and Ventura decals as well as some old spanish Hobbycalcas from way back when I was a young boy in [...]

RAF Hawker Harts and Demons

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Academy 1/72 IL-2 Stormovik

by David Adams on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

by Mark P Hartig on February 28, 2022 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is from late 2018, the Academy Tiger I with interior. I've heard a fair amount of complaints about this kit but did not experience any major difficulties with it, I recall it being complex but not difficult. Fit was fine and it looks [...]

Revell's 1/48 B-25J Mitchell "Jaunty Jo"

by Christina Swank on February 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This kit was a bit of a bear. Not surprising considering they are still using the mold from 1977. I had several fights with the seams, including the fuselage seams popping in places. I don't know if the plastic was just being impervious [...]
