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 [...]

1/700 USS Randolph (CV-15) – August 1945

by Michael Smith on January 1, 2022 · in Ships · 6 ≡

My latest project is one that I have had in mind for a long time. When I was about 10 years old, and just starting to get interested in World War II and aircraft carriers, one of the first books I had access to was Barrett Gallagher’s [...]

My 2021 Builds

by Bob Torres on January 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

These are my builds for 2021. My main goals were to have at least one build for each month, at least one multi-eng plane for the year, at least one vacuform build for the year and to try to have a resin build in which that would be my [...]

Heller's 1/72 Heinkel He-112B0/B1

by Bob Torres on January 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Heller's Heinkel He-112B, kit No. 240 fist released in 1979. This was a very enjoyable build. It went together with no issues. I used decals from an RS Model kit and insignias from the Heller kit. I found the details to be nice enough [...]
