MPC (ex-Airfix) 1/72 Hurricane

by Bob Torres on May 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Since my return back into this hobby last year, I basically just want to build the old kits that I had a chance to build back in the 60's to 70's. I really do not mind if it does not look perfect but I do like to see if the older kits can [...]

Revell's 1/72 B-24D Liberator

by Bob Torres on May 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is the very old 1/72 Revell B-24D that was first released back in 1964. This boxing was from the 1979 release (kit # 4403). I built this back in the end of 1986 and remember enjoying the build very much. I did a lot of work to bring [...]

Hi All, I finally finished and would like to show my version of the venerable, Revell/Monogram, 1/48, P-61A Black Widow, “Moon Happy”. First, I'd like to thank my co-worker, Dave, and his son, Evan, for giving me this kit. I hope you [...]

Amazon sez “Frequently bought together”

by Tom Cleaver on May 10, 2021 · in News · 12 ≡

Got this pic from a friend who saw this at his local Barnes & Noble. And here I thought "Under The Southern Cross" wasn't coming out till Tuesday. Shows how much the author ever knows. 🙂 (BTW - "Tower of Skulls" [...]

Bf-110G-2 ZG1, "Skeletal Hand" Revell 1/48th Scale

by Walt on May 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I have always liked the Bf-110, it just has very pleasing lines to me. While it proved a general failure as a heavy escort, it still proved to be a formidable foe in other roles. I have built this kit before under a different boxing, and [...]

In Stark Contrast to The Fire Station

by Phillip Friddell on May 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The same month I was arguing with that darned fire station I was also building a 1/48th scale FineMolds A5M-4 "Claude" for some much-needed relaxation. Like all recent kits from that manufacturer this one just fell together, [...]

I Didn’t Want to Do It!

by Phillip Friddell on May 9, 2021 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

But I did it anyway. A highly-valued friend of mine, an individual I've known since 1965, asked me to build a firehouse for another friend's HO layout while our family at his place for dinner one Saturday evening. Truth be known there was [...]

1/35 Tamiya Cromwell

by Dan Lee on May 9, 2021 · in Armor · 7 ≡

The Cromwell came out of the requirement for a replacement for the Crusader which the British High Command knew wasn't going to be enough. Nuffield's A24 design was originally picked as the basis for the Cromwell, but it was powered by [...]
