by Kursat Kaan Kerimoglu on February 17, 2021 · in Armor · 10 ≡

I got tired of the T-90 model that I had been trying to finish for a while and put it on display and decided to start a new model. Erhan Atalay gave me this interesting kit. Many sprues that came out of the kit box were hardly used. There [...]

by iModeler Youtube Picks on February 16, 2021 · in How-to

Okay, I wasn't expecting to build two B-17's this past year. I bought this in the early summer and the more I looked at the parts the more I wanted to build this kit! I guess in a way I couldn't resist as the B-17 is my favourite [...]

by Robert Knaack on February 16, 2021 · in Automotive · 17 ≡

This is the AMT kit that was originally titled "Caterpillar D8H" but has been re-released as the generic "construction bulldozer." It's a great kit, very detailed, and very much capable of even more scratch-building [...]
