AMT Bulldozer 1/25

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 [...]

Harley-Davidson Sportster – 1:9 Testors/Lincoln Mint

by Matt Minnichsoffer on February 16, 2021 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

My senior year in high school I fell in love with the design of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Partly because I had a group of older friends that all rode Harleys. They included me in their group and of course I had to have one. My first [...]

Kinetic 1/48 Mirage 2000

by Wes Pennest on February 16, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. If you love the Mirage, look away. I love flying the Mirage in DCS, so I had to build one. I found the C/5F and B/D/N kits on sale and snapped them up. That's the end of the happy side of the [...]

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on February 15, 2021 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Built in 2019. Hasegawa kit, legs shortened about 2-3mm, some decals from Aeromaster but they got the Stammkennzeichen wrong, the ones for the underwing are missing so are decals for the coat of arms of JFS1. My dad used Luftwaffe letter [...]

My 1/350 Lindberg Tirpitz

by Ulrich Albrecht on February 15, 2021 · in Ships · 19 ≡

Motivated by pictures I saw of the Justin Rogers' Lindberg Bismarck, I thought I share my model of the Tirpitz. The model's superstructure actually represents the Tirpitz much better than it does the Bismarck. I added two small [...]

ACADEMY 1:48 Grumman TBM-3 Avenger Kit Number #12285

by George Henderson on February 14, 2021 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

I've had this kit for a long time; it's an Accurate Miniatures re-pop. I've been wanting to do this as an Atlantic Scheme and settled on this version. The thing that delayed the build for years was the lack of information on the underwing [...]

Here is my contribution to the De Havilland group build. My inspiration for building this kit started when I was a youngster with a fever and was kept home and set in front of the TV to watch Mosquito Squadron 633. I don't know if I cared [...]
