Airfix P-40 Warhawk 1:48

by George Damian on February 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Here comes my first build of the year. I've always found the Airfix kits to be comforting, as long as you accept with an open heart whatever lies ahead. I mean they are really enjoyable. There was nothing special about this build, [...]

by George V Guimaraes on February 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Hi there! This is my recent project. There are few choices if you want an 1/48 F-105(D/G) so I went with HobbyBoss for this. I can’t say I didn’t know about its flaws. I’ll list them here, so perhaps I can give my contribution to [...]

Classic Kit: Aurora 1/48 P-38 Restoration

by David Garcia on February 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is a labor of love. I wanted to see if I could build a broken relic into something presentable. I learned about the P-38 when I build this kit as a child and I would fly it around outside shooting down me109s and what have you. The [...]

by Roland Sachsenhofer on February 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

About Hans „Assi“ Hahns Bf 109G-2 21 February 1943 can probably be described as a fateful day in the life of Hans "Assi" Hahn, at that time group commander of II / JG 54 "Grünherz" and one of the Luftwaffe's most [...]

1/24th Lotus Super Seven

by Kits And Bits Scale Modelling on February 9, 2022 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

This was originally a comission, hence the unusual colour, but the lady who ordered it decided she wanted it for free because 'its just a toy, and i would have been building it anyway...' Needless to say, she got told in no uncertain terms [...]

1/35 Meng - Sherman Jumbo

by Ko Lok Kan, Arthur on February 8, 2022 · in Armor · 20 ≡

I lost count on how many Shermans I've built. But, it was a true pleasure to build this kit. Good fits and well-designed. The movable tracks are, of course, troublesome to build. But I gotta say it paid off with a more natural and better [...]
