1/48 Hobby Boss Me-262

by George Damian on November 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Good kit, the variant Me 262 A-1a/U1, a bit fantasy from what I read. First time I attach some ordnance on a scale model plane, I liked the idea of rockets on the first jet fighter, even that maybe the build is wrong. The good news is that [...]

Pocher 1:8 1907 Fiat F-2 Race Car

by Greg Fabian on November 3, 2021 · in Automotive · 24 ≡

I bought this kit when I was in high school back in the early 1970s. I was browsing around K-Mart one afternoon when I stumbled upon this Pocher kit for the unheard of price of $20; a savings of $80 over the usual price of the kit. Back in [...]

Everyone: Just got this tonight, a NOTAM from the Golden Eagles. The rule is, "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots." There's an exception to every rule, and Don Shelton was the [...]

by Carl Christensen on November 2, 2021 · in Diorama · 16 ≡

Not much to say here really, tells its own story. -The bridge is from Mirage models, is basic but effective for what I wanted. -Barge is the old Verlinden kit that looks quite cool when put together. -Flak 38 is Dragon. -Kettenkraftrad is [...]
