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 [...]

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 [...]

A Game of Two Harts

by Ross Paton on January 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Last build of the year. SECOND attempt at AMG's Hart for which the instructions can lead you well astray! This is quite an expensive kit to have to have two attempts not being an Eduard Dual Combo. First attempt I tried to be smart and do [...]

2021 Modeling Review – Four Essexes, Nine Aircraft and a 88mm

by Michael Smith on January 1, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 5 ≡

The first half of 2021 was the same as 2020 - multiple 1/700 Essex-class carrier builds. But the second half was something completely different. The first several months of 2021 were devoted to finishing a "double build" of the [...]
