Odds and Ends: Various Subjects of a Scattered Mind

by Kyle Koppos on July 4, 2021 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

In a previous article, I mentioned to save space, cost, time, and sanity, I narrowed my collective focus to "Aviation, 1/48 scale, up to September 1945." Before that cut off decision was made, I dabbled in a lot of various [...]

1/72 Hasegawa Rockwell OV-10 Bronco

by Don Weixl on July 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I started this simple little kit around 1980 when I was still in college. I was quite ambitious at the time by cutting out the flaps and cutting off the cargo door, planning to detail the interior. At the time I numbered the flaps and wing [...]

Arma Hobby 1/72 Mk IIc Hurricane

by Robert Joseph Cookson on July 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

A gem of a kit. Not that many parts (around 70 or so, I think). Took me about three weeks to finish, done in MRP colours, with some oils and some weathering powders. I understand that they are about to release the same thing in 1/48, which [...]
