Volvo F6 Beavertail Transport

by Charles King on March 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

This build came about by converting and scratch building, the old Italeri Volvo F6 Fire ladder kit. I had bought this a couple of years ago at an exhibition together with other second hand kits for little or nothing. I did not know what to [...]

Bf 109 B-2 Spanish Nationalist Air force 1939 (ex JG 88/Condor Legion).

by Pablo Pons on March 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hello everyone! This is my first contribution to this site. It's the old 1:72 scale Heller kit. I finished my model with Vallejo Model Air and Ventura decals as well as some old spanish Hobbycalcas from way back when I was a young boy in [...]

RAF Hawker Harts and Demons

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

The Hart story is a complex one with a simple beginning. The Hawker company developed a elegant modern looking biplane with the performance to seriously challenge the existing fighters the RAF was using. This aircraft expanded into a whole [...]

Academy 1/72 IL-2 Stormovik

by David Adams on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Finished this Xmas present that my daughter gave me. Academy 1/72nd aircraft kits are good quality (IMHO) but this kit maybe just a little over-engineered. The cockpit assembly is nicely detailed but I almost broke it trying to fit it [...]

Article # 100! For this occasion, a T-34 Twofer.

by Bill Koppos on March 1, 2022 · in Armor · 9 ≡

Before I start, a disclaimer. This involves Russian subjects in a Russian made Movie. I have been working on these since last Year when I saw the Movie. It in no way relates to the present situation involving Russia and their actions of [...]

Academy Tiger I with interior

by Mark P Hartig on February 28, 2022 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is from late 2018, the Academy Tiger I with interior. I've heard a fair amount of complaints about this kit but did not experience any major difficulties with it, I recall it being complex but not difficult. Fit was fine and it looks [...]

Revell's 1/48 B-25J Mitchell "Jaunty Jo"

by Christina Swank on February 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This kit was a bit of a bear. Not surprising considering they are still using the mold from 1977. I had several fights with the seams, including the fuselage seams popping in places. I don't know if the plastic was just being impervious [...]

Tamiya 251/1 Halftrack, 1/35

by Curt Cayemberg on February 26, 2022 · in Armor · 9 ≡

One of Tamiya's classic kits - the Hanomag 251/1. Finished this one a few years back and finally posting the finished model. I had a few spare benches and stowage bins but needed to scratch build a few more to replace the kit supplied [...]

1/48 AB&K A2N3 Biplane

by Chris Wallace on February 26, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Truth be told, I am not sure why I went online and bought this model in the summer of 2020. I may be very into Japanese WW2 planes but biplanes? Hey, I am not insane. Then again, these silver doped planes are very attractive with their [...]
