Paint figures for the first time?

1971 white box Monogram FW-190
Not much to say, Monogram got it very very close to right 50 years ago. Some aftermarket decals to make up for ones that were questionable on the original sheet. They were not exact, but close. The tail victory markings are from the [...]

This one I completed just recently.
Ever since I first watched the anime series Robotech in the early to mid 80's, I have had a love for mecha. This is linked to the Macross saga with which many are also familiar with. Some may have seen [...]

The IA-58 Pucará is an Argentine ground attack/counter-insurgency aircraft manufactured by Fábrica Militar de Aaviones (FMA) and capable of operating from less than ideal airstrips that were too short or rough for jet fighters. Pucarás [...]
Serving Under Another Flag GB: Red Star 1/72 Captured MiG-3 in Romanian Colors
Red Star was a small model company in England that used four molds that were made by Frog around 1976. That year Frog folded and was not able to release their newer kits. While most of their molds went to Novo and Matchbox/Revell, the [...]
