My 2021- The Good, the Bad, the Lazy

by Jason Vukovich on January 3, 2022 · in Photo Collections · 6 ≡

Thought I would post my 2021 builds including a couple of misses (learning opportunities as a wise one would say). The "lazy" part of the title is that I build almost all my aircraft in flight but managed to only build one stand [...]

16 - Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha Virago

by Anthony Ricco on January 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

What a enjoyable build, my first motorcycle and I'll definitely do more - Bikes are so much fun. Didn't really like the red and gold scheme of the kit so decided to do a Copper, Chrome and black version. I also wanted to play around with [...]

This is a review of the BenQ E-Reading LED Light. This light has adjustable color temperature and an impressive color rendering index of 95. If you want to know all the details, here is a link to the complete user manual: (link) BenQ [...]

1/35 Trumpeter T-62

by Mark P Hartig on January 2, 2022 · in Armor · 8 ≡

And another on the old build parade This was done in 2016, spring I think. It required considerable modification such as adjusting the suspension to reflect fire weakened tortion bars, the bottomed out cannon, the unshipped turret, and of [...]

The mouse that roared

by Mark P Hartig on January 2, 2022 · in Armor · 14 ≡

Dragon's 1/35 Tiger II, done in 2014. I recall this kit being quite un-Dragonish as the instructions were mistake free and clear. The fit was superb, and the Magic Track links were a perfect friction fit that made assembly quite [...]

Maschinen Krieger Fireball SG 1:35

by Brian Kirwan on January 2, 2022 · in Sci-fi · 15 ≡

Gents and ladies Happy New Year to you all. Here is my latstest model a Maschinen Krieger Fireball SG. Hasegawa kit with two of these figures. In 1:35 these figures are quiet small. 1:20 is the more usual scale for there. Anyhows this [...]

Richard Petty's 1971 Plymouth

by John Luetich on January 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 5 ≡

A real stock car, the MOPAR hemi was unbeatable. Another resurrection with after market decals

Trumpeter PLAAF Chengdu J-10B

by Justin Bronk on January 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This was a quick build of Trumpeter's 1/48 scale Chengdu J-10B Vigorous Dragon - the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force's equivalent to the ubiquitous American F-16 Viper. Cheap, multi-role and increasingly sporting the latest [...]

1/48 Condor Legion He-51B – Imperial German Air Service/Luftwaffe Group Build.

by John Healy on January 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is the fairly recent Roden kit. All in all, not a bad kit. It’s engineered very nicely and has good cockpit detailing. It’s best feature is that the landing gear struts are molded to the fuselage halves. This guarantees [...]

Karaya DH-5 1:48

by Paul Carpenter on January 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

It has been ages but I thought I would post another one of my older builds. This kit is entirely made of resin with some photoetch and it is superbly cast and went together really well. Karaya did a great job with the interplane struts [...]
