Aaaaargh!!

by Ross Paton on June 1, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Just attempted this. It's in the bin. Most ill fitting piece of junk I've yet to encounter. I should know because I built their JU 88 Recon, although it didn't get binned. Why all the resin interior parts? Injection is just as detailed and [...]

by Clark Cook on June 1, 2021 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

"Patches" is another in a continuing series of Korean War Era builds. This is one of the original Monogram kits issued in the late '70s. I only added harnesses to the cockpit. Paint is Model Master Faded OD over Neutral Gray. [...]

Nitto S.F. 3.D Original. Super Armored Fighting Suit. 1/20

by Stephen W Towle on May 31, 2021 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡

A while back there was a story running on the news about incoming flights to LAX with pilots reporting that a guy flying in a jet pack was flying at 3000 feet. Going the opposite direction and a little close for comfort. The problem [...]

by Hans Peter Tschanz on May 31, 2021 · in Automotive · 13 ≡

The Model T, the most famous Ford of all time, was the first car that was really mass-produced. It is this single model that reinvigorated transportation around the world. Over fifteen million T models were sold in the nineteen years it [...]

1/48 RAAF Tiger Moth – de Havilland 100 Group Build.

by John Healy on May 31, 2021 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

This is the new Airfix kit built as an Australian bird that was assigned to 8 Squadron, RAAF, in Malaya in 1941-42. 8 Squadron was a Hudson bomber unit so we can surmise that this Moth was a squadron utility hack. I found a photo of it [...]

Super Etendard Modernise by Kinetic in 1/48.

by Tony Prince on May 31, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

One of my all-time jet favourites, it somehow just looks so right to me that I couldn't put off building one any longer. Kinetic looked good although the instructions were a bit short on detail. The 'net more than made up for it though, [...]

Eduard 1/48 Ki-115 Tsurugi

by Chris Wallace on May 31, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi everyone I recently completed this 20 year old kit. This is a decent multimedia kit with few build issues and makes for a relatively quick build. You don't have to worry about landing gear or gear bays! I have also done a writeup [...]

Revell 1/72 FW 200 C-8 Condor

by Phil Steele on May 30, 2021 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Some pics of an old build. Finished with Model Master paints and 3m tape for the camo. I used a masking set for the glass, although I don't remember the brand. (probably Eduard) I had to get creative with the radar antennae since the kit [...]

Republic P-47N Thunderbolt, Academy 1/48, PTO

by Chuck A. Villanueva on May 30, 2021 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The 318th Fighter Group mainly had a mixed bag of P-39's, P-40's and P-47D's in a training defensive role over the Hawaiian Islands, limited to their range until the US had captured the Marianas. The P-47N first arrived on scene in June [...]
