by Michael Smith on March 26, 2022 · in Ships · 15 ≡

I had so much fun with my last Essex-class double build of a 1945 and 1968 USS Bon Homme Richard (CV/CVA-31) that decided to try it again, this time focusing on a better way to convert a model of a straight-deck WW II Essex into a postwar [...]

Douglas F4D-1 Skyray – Tamiya 1/48

I'd like to share my most recent completed build, which is another US jet from the 1950s. As you know from the heading, this is the Tamiya F4D-1 Skyray, also affectionately nicknamed the "Ford", a play on the F-four-D moniker. [...]

1/72nd Hasegawa RF-101C

by Jim Sullivan on March 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I recently acquired this kit and decided to build it as it brought back memories of building one like it four decades ago. I'll call it a nostalgia build. The kit is nicely done with clean crisp molding and little flash other than that [...]

WWII German LWS

by Allen Lee on March 25, 2022 · in Armor · 5 ≡

It’s a re-do work of a WWII German LWS, I made a mistake of using oil base wash to applied onto an oil painted model(see last picture)…then I washed all color away and re painted it. Also added an rubber raft on to it.

by Harvey R. on March 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

A Mustang was an aircraft missing from my collection until a few months ago. I decided to go with Tamiya's rendition of the Mustang over Eduard's more detailed version as at the time I fancied a quick and simple build to get the creative [...]

Desktop BUFF/X-15

by Scott Nelson on March 24, 2022 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here’s a blast from the past from Atlantis, the B-52/X-15 combo kit. Originally produced by Revell, Scalemates says the mold goes back to 1954 for the B-52 and the 1:175 scale combo was first issued in 1961. I wish Atlantis reissuing [...]
