"Tico" the first of the Ticonderoga class

by Manuel González on June 9, 2021 · in Ships · 11 ≡

I have always been fascinated by the Spruance and Ticonderoga class ships. Today it is not easy to get a kit that I would like to build again. This kit is from Revell, 1/700 scale and I was pleasantly surprised compared to other brands. I [...]

by George R Blair Jr on June 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I wanted to find something a little different to build for the "Imperial German Air Service / Luftwaffe Group Build May 1st, 1910, to Present Day", and I discovered the Nike Hercules (MIM-14) surface-to-air missile was used by [...]

My first Airfix kit, wil do more for sure! The base is from a Bandai kit. The Folland Gnat was a small, swept-wing British subsonic jet trainer and light fighter aircraft developed by Folland Aircraft for the Royal Air Force, and flown [...]

Lockheed F-104A Starfighter

by Gary Brantley on June 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

An earlier build (early 1990s) and only photographed fairly recently at the Cameron Airport, the Testors 1/48 F-104A Starfighter is a very basic, simple old model. Originally, it was a Hawk release from 1957. I love these birds and [...]

From "The Hook": "Naval Aviation lost a devoted friend when Jessie Beck, 83, died in Reno, NV, in July 1987. As the first woman to own a major Nevada casino - the Riverside Hotel and Casino, she was called "the gambling [...]

"Duel in the Sun" or YGBSM, F-105F vs SA-2 Guideline. 1/72

by Robert Royes on June 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

YGBSM meaning... You gotta be sh**ing me! The reaction to the description of the Wild Weasel mission when it was explained to an Electronic warfare officer who had transferred from B-52s. Much has been written about the WW mission who went [...]

My first Model Car – Honda RA272

by jorge rivas krause on June 9, 2021 · in Automotive · 9 ≡

This is the first car model that I ever build. During all my years of scale modelling (30+), I never thought on build a car. But like with anything else one day I got inspired by the amazing work of a fellow modeller. I loved what I saw [...]

Heinkel He 162 A-1 1/72 Revell (Ex-Lindberg) No. 4143 (1984 boxing)

by Bob Torres on June 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I recently finished building a 1/72 Revell/Lindberg He-162. This should have been an easy build but I lost interest on it pretty early after I started the build. About 4 different builds got done before I got serious on this one again. [...]

Captured Hawk, P-36/ H75 in the Luftwaffe. Monogram 1/72.

by Robert Royes on June 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This represents one of the dozen or so H 75's that were captured by Germans, which sold many to the Finns. I think that the Monogram kit is still the best representation of the P-36 in 1/72. Thanks go to Tom Bebout for supplying the kit.
