Lightning White 33

by Greg Fabian on January 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Here's my take on Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning model. The kit gives you the choice of building either Miss Virginia (P-38 G) or White 33 (P-38F). Despite the historical significance of Miss Virginia and the mission to shoot-down [...]

Erosion Never Sleeps – Bristol Beaufighter Nightfighter

by Greg Fabian on January 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

After looking at my Beaufighter for five months, I decided that it needed a little roughing-up. So I broke-out the thinner, some swabs, and a bottle of Model Master chrome silver paint and went to town. Along the way, I managed to break [...]

My first model for 2021. Very happy with the result although it took me much longer to complete than usual. I have a good many Mustangs in this scale & was looking forward to a trouble free build on this one, which is my first [...]

First 2021 build- Tamiya (Italeri) 1/48 Kfz.305 4x2 Cargo Truck

by Stan Traas on January 13, 2021 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

Question to self- Self, what stash denizen can be built (vanquished?) in the least amount of time?... Here's the victim. Not a kit to greatly inspire, as the Italeri roots = meh. Half down drivers window sprue gate shattered despite my [...]
