by Dan DeSilva on January 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I bought up a lot of 1/48 ESCI A-4's years ago, and was not aware of the issues with the kit. The canopy is closer to the real A-4 than the Monogram canopy, but the exhaust area of the kit, is more of an ogival cross section than the [...]

by Mark P Hartig on January 12, 2022 · in Diorama · 6 ≡

This was a project that occupied the first six months of 2020 and was part of a remeberance group build. I'm not all that fond of doing large dioramas like this since after awhile it begins to feel like a job rather than a hobby but this [...]

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

Here is my second IAF Skyhawk- a TA-4H. The Classic Airframes kit is quite good- with a few issues. The best part of them is the lack of "step" on the leading edge of the wing, for the slat. on the real plane there is no step [...]

by John Luetich on January 12, 2022 · in Automotive · 1 ≡

Unser qualified this car 18 mph faster than the previous year's record, really set the race world on fire. This was based on the 1974 AMT kit and I modified it with a 1972 wing and other additions with after market decals.

1/48 Hasegawa IAF A-4N

by Dan DeSilva on January 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I love the Skyhawk- single seat, two seat, various operators, etc. I initially made the mistake of thinking that you could take the A-4M kit and with decals make it an A-4N. I learned pretty quickly, that not all A-4N airframes had ARBS in [...]
