Video: ICM 1:48 I-153 Chaika “Winter Version”

by iModeler Youtube Picks on March 22, 2021 · in How-to

I've always liked the Chaika, and colors and markings of Finnish aircraft of WWII. So put them all together and you've got one snazzy I-153! I've heard that the engineering behind this kit is really good, and I was really impressed by how [...]

Creating Prop Blur with Photoshop

by Aldo Missio on March 22, 2021 · in How-to · 8 ≡

I've only built a couple of wheels-up, in-flight models, and have used clear acetate for the prop spin. However, I have admired many of the great "flying" models posted by the "experten" of the iModeler community. [...]

FROG 1/72 Mitchell Mk. II/ B-25D

by Bob Torres on March 22, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is my second build after my 30 years of not building a kit. It is a 1/72 FROG B-25D Mitchell. This boxing dates back from 1965-1966. Now to be honest, this is one kit I've been wanting to build since I first saw it back in the mid to [...]

1/72 Academy F-8E Crusader

by Gordon Zammit on March 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Another of my 2020 builds, this is the Academy F-8E built again straight from the box with the included decals, which are OK but not great. White is Revell SM301 and gull grey is Model Master.

Ahhh. Memories

by Ross Paton on March 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Digitising old slides and found a few gems, this included. I was 9 or 10. The Brand New 1/24 Airfix Spitfire had just come out and I saved the £12 required. No airbrush then! Bit of a toy. Retractable undercarriage and sliding canopy. Al [...]

Dolman Miniatures 1:10 Resin Oils

Accurate Miniatures Yak-1 on skis

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This was a nice little kit that I've had tucked away for a decade or so-built in 2020 along with a dozen others. Part two of the VVS ski team-see my Stormovik, located somewhere in here.

AMT Douglas A-20G

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

My favorite twin-engined bomber of WWII, and probably the most iconic, as in overexposed, livery. Relatively straight forward and basic kit-another member of the 20/20 club, and another lockdown build.
