by David Adams on January 15, 2022 · in Armor · 5 ≡

Just some fun kits that take a couple of days to build and the rest of the week to paint and weather. A Dragon Kettenkrad, an Italeri Kubelwagen, a Tamiya SAS Desert Rat Jeep and a Willys. All 1/35. The Dragon Kettenkrad has a more pieces [...]

Tamiya 1/48 J2M3 Jack

by Richard Bungay on January 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a 50 year old kit but it holds up pretty well. It has raised panel lines but they were easily re-scrible. Decals are a bit thick but are nice none the less. Here's the album: (link)

CC-130J Canadian Super Hercules RCAF Built from Scratch

by Aaron Bouma on January 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

This is the CC-130J Super Hercules, most modern variant of the Legacy Hercules Transport Aircraft, built and designed by Lockheed Martin. I built this one from pine, engraved with a wood burner. Flaps are down, at takeoff position, wheels [...]

Uss Mustin - DDG 89 - Trumpeter - 1/350

by Manuel González on January 14, 2022 · in Ships · 9 ≡

To build it I used Trumpeter's Uss Forrest Sherman. The Uss Mustin belongs to the Flight IIA series and was the first to incorporate the new configuration of the chimneys that reduced the silhouette and radar signature. In the same way [...]

by PHILLIP EVANS on January 14, 2022 · in Ships · 9 ≡

Just completed for a friend - the 1/72 Revell PT-109 kit. Looking at the marking on the back of the stand it says 'made in China, 1963' Done this as PT109 as it looked before J.F. Kennedy took command of it. Time taken 5 days. Paints [...]

Revell GMC truck kit-bash

by Robert Knaack on January 14, 2022 · in Automotive · 14 ≡

So I had a couple of kits sitting around that I bought for parts for other projects, the Revell GMC Pickup that I bought strictly for the chrome wheels, and the Ertl barge wagon I bought for the running gear. I wasn't planning on doing [...]

1/48 Otaki FW190A-8 with help from DML, Airfix, and Tamiya

by Dan DeSilva on January 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is one of those older kits that you buy, and figure you could do something with it, then realize you should have just bought another of the newer kits instead. However, living on an island with no hobby shop, and not being able to [...]

Tamiya FW190A-4 conversion

by Dan DeSilva on January 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Hi all, I seem to have picked up a few 190's over the years. This one is the Tamiya FW190A3 converted to an A-4. This airframe makes that conversion pretty easy, as all that is needed is to add an antenna mast on the tailfin. This is one [...]

1/48 Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.Ib [Trop]

by Tom Bebout on January 14, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

My first completion for 2022, actually started in late 2021 but couldn't finalize the build until now. The kit I used is Airfix's boxing of the Sea Hurricane but all the parts are there to do a Trop version. You do a little surgery add the [...]
