Promodeler Ju 52/3m

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on May 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This 1/48th Ju 52 model is among the finest produced by ProModeler. The corrugated surface texture is well reproduced and the kit is well detailed including the interior. The big size and the uneven texture may pose some building [...]

by Louis Gardner on May 1, 2024 · in News · 30 ≡

The First World War started on 28 July, 1914 and ended four years later on 11 November, 1918. I was thinking about starting a new group build that was dedicated to the men and women who were there. It would follow the exact same dates as [...]

Blood Brothers – Two Era’s of Thunderbolts

by Matt Minnichsoffer on April 30, 2024 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

A while back I ran across an article about an A-10 from the 124th Fighter Wing/190th Fighter Squadron painted in World War II D-Day livery as an homage to the Squadron’s heritage and it gave me an idea. I’ve always been a big fan of [...]

by DAVIDE PONTICELLI on April 30, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

USS Ethan Allen

by Scott Nelson on April 30, 2024 · in Ships · 16 ≡

Before seeing Dan Lee’s build of the USS Thresher, I had not heard of MicroMir models. I’ve always had a fondness for modern subs (especially when needing a simple modeling recharge) and Dan’s excellent job compelled me to order a [...]

1/144 SBD Dauntless (Brengun Models)

by Robert Joseph Cookson on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡
