Finished Typhoon 1/24

by Ross Paton on September 29, 2021 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Got it done. Really nice kit. Decals haven't quite settled yet in these pics. Decals were actually very stubborn. Aftermarket rockets were the only extra. Not much in the way of stencils. Can't say I was sorry but no "don't [...]

HK Models 1/32 Mossie Mk.IV

by Mark Kannemeyer on September 29, 2021 · in Uncategorized · 28 ≡

Calling this one done. Pity the crappy camera never reflected the variation of the black although no pure black was used on the model. All extra work in the cockpit was scratch except for the Barracuda placards. The stowed dinghy was also [...]

Chuck Yeager’s P51D Mustang Glamorous Glen III

by Joe Bianco on September 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I finished this Tamiya P-51D Mustang in Chuck Yeager's markings. I was thinking this would be a quick build (and it should have) but it ended up taking me almost three months. The model is built straight out of the box. Markings were [...]

1/35 M3 Stuart.

by John Healy on September 27, 2021 · in Armor · 31 ≡

After banging out 20 airplane kits in a row, along with 3 in progress since COVID started, my mojo has waned a bit. For a little change of pace, I pulled this 1974 Tamiya Stuart kit from the stash and had some fun. I purchased a Star [...]

Me262 Night Fighter 1/48th Dragon

by Walt on September 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I finished this kit a few years back. Simply said, it is no Tamiya! I have not built a lot of Dragon model kits, but what I have built have all had the same trait. Basically subcomponents or assemblies fit together well, but when you [...]

by Paul Barber on September 27, 2021 · in News · 15 ≡

Border Models of China are putting out the WNW Lanc! I’ll let the pics do the talking. Anyone got the Handley Page 0 series molds!?

Italeri B-25 H Mitchell "Gunship"

by Bob Torres on September 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built this kit a while ago around 1984, it was built straight out of the box. I used the "Sweet Sue" decal set from the Matchbox B-25 kit, the US insignias are from Microscale and the white stripes are also Microscale that cost [...]
