Tamiya 1/48 F-16C Fighting Falcon

by Joe Roamer on October 7, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

OK, so it's probably not a perfect block 32 F-16, but pretty close. This smaller aircraft took more patience, especially on the wheel bays, panel line shading, and cockpit. I tried the Quinta Studios (Russian-based company) 3-D decals [...]

by Djordje Colovic on October 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Well, I gave word not to do any other Italeri kit, but... I got this kit on scale model competition and I did it as a joy build, but with much, much putty, bad fit, holes... I finished it in a matter of few days with a little bit [...]

by Joe Roamer on October 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Matchbox 1/72 Do-18

by Bob Torres on October 5, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

My 1/72 Matchbox Do-18 (PK-409) build from 1986. An old build that needed some good cleaning and slight restoration. This was a big mess and I am pretty happy it is back in view again. I remember enjoying this build very much. I did fill [...]
