Vintage: Lindberg 1/51 F-94 Demonstrator (1954)

by David Garcia on July 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is an oldie and dates back to early 1950s. Heck it's older than I am. It does not look like much in the box but I thought lets build it anyway. The only thing holding me back were markings. Due to the scale finding decals were a [...]

325th FG P-51D Checkertail done!

by Rob Anderson on July 8, 2021 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

Haven't posted much on this since in work photos of Tamiya's 1/32 P-51D abound on the net. I used Draw decals checkers after failing many times with masking and then trying to cut our my own. They fit quite well. Lots of Barracuda [...]

by David Garcia on July 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I enjoy photographing my models just as much as I like building them. Here's an example. I shot this scene with a Nikon Coolpix 950 ($18 on eBay). This camera has excellent depth of field. Tarmac is sand paper, crew chief is from the [...]

Out of the US heavy tanks prototypes of WW2, the T29 is one of my favorite due to its large rangefinders. This is also my first time building a Takom model and I enjoyed it very much. While building, I also heard the story of and IS2 named [...]

1/35 Takom Jagdpanther and flat-bed railcar (Plattformwagen)

by Carl Christensen on July 7, 2021 · in Armor · 13 ≡

This is a 3-in-1 kit containing the tank, railcar, and railway tracks. So with just a few wee added extras and some figures it really came to life. I wanted to show a bit of life with the tank getting ready for transporting instead of it [...]
