Street Battle

by Charles King on October 14, 2021 · in Diorama · 20 ≡

This diorama came about of necessity. A diorama had been destroyed by a child sometime ago. I decided to re-use items from that diorama together with another diorama to make up for the destroyed one. Most of the figures have been taken [...]

Heller 1/48 Sud Aviation Alouette II “Armée de Terre”

by Spiros Pendedekas on October 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Hi everyone! This is my Heller 1/48 Alouette II, finished as an "Armée de Terre" bird. The Alouette II is a French light helicopter, originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aérospatiale. Performing its maiden flight [...]

1/35 Scots Greys M3 Grant.

by John Healy on October 14, 2021 · in Armor · 16 ≡

I enjoyed the Stuart so much that I knocked out another old Tamiya tank kit that lurked in the stash for decades. This one is the 1974 vintage M3 Grant. Not a bad model for 1974. One thing the kit lacks are rails above the sand [...]

Monogram/Pro-Modeler 1/48 He-111 H-?

by Stan Traas on October 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Latest effort to reduce the pile of kits through building. (Hint- if you want fewer boxes, mysterious A/M bits, and bottles of paint for your kids to bin after you're gone, save 'em the trouble by just having another completed model to [...]

Heller’s 1/72 Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199 “Sakeen”

by Bob Torres on October 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is Heller's Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199. An enjoyable build, I took a kit that I was not too thrilled with as a 109K but had some fun making it to something that I like. This was Heller's first attempt (1976, Kit No. 074) to [...]

1/144 Minicraft C-54/DC-4 in Early SAS Colors

by George R Blair Jr on October 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I don't normally build airliners, and I never build anything that has a natural metal finish, but I wanted to do something for the SAS 75th Anniversary Group. I had the Minicraft C-54 kit lurking around, and I was able to find some decals [...]

Panzer KampfWagen VI Tiger II "Konigs Tiger"

by Manuel Magrinho on October 13, 2021 · in Armor · 14 ≡

I’ve start building the 1975 rebox kit (code MM157) of the King Tiger in the late 1980’s and, due to bad tracks, shelfed it until this spring. Back then, can’t precise when, I’ve bought a (plastic) separate tracks links for this [...]

Airwar over Austria...1/48 North American P-51D Mustang, 2ndFS/52ndFG, "Yellow Tails", 15th AF

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on October 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

My dad´s next 15th AF pony, after the Tuskegee one. Tamiya kit with Aeromaster decals. Did some minor filling and removing to get a D-5 model. Also filled the wing panel lines, like on the original. Painted with AK Xtreme Metal Color [...]

Fine Molds 1/72 F-4EJ Kai Phantom II No.440

by Seiji KIMURA on October 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

A relatively new kit of phantoms. There was almost no need to erase the seams of the parts. It wasn't difficult to assemble. I painted with brushes and lacquer paints, and Mr. color is mainly used. I made the whole matte, but I painted the [...]
