Zvezda Yak-3s

Pain-free. Go slow, enjoy the build and mind the gunsight glass so the carpet monster doesn't eat it. The blue decal for the spinner is poorly sized and if you use it, the decal won't conform no matter what decal setting solution you use. [...]

A pair of Fairey Fireflies, AZ model 1/48

by George Chatzidakis on January 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

So, here's my take on a favourite airplane of mine. I decided early on to divert from the classic paint schemes and go for the more colorful, obscure schemes. So here we have an Ethiopian plane with an interesting camouflage, and an Indian [...]

Testors/Itlaeri 1/72 AC-130A Hercules Gunship

by Christina Swank on January 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This kit fought me pretty much all the way through. Fit wasn't that great, so there was a lot of putty, sand, prime, repeat. The decals looked great, but turned out to be a very stressful part of the build. The glue was thick and [...]

The Empire of Japan: Type 97 Chi-Ha tank with diorama (Dragon 1:35)

by Michel Verschuere on January 25, 2021 · in Armor · 20 ≡

This is my entry to the Empire of Japan Group Build hosted by my dear friend Louis Gardner . @lgardner The build extended over about 9 months, not because the kit was so hard but rather because I could not free-up sufficient time to finish [...]

Another busy roadbuilding season is at an end and my "essential worker" status is on hold until spring, therefore it is back to the modelling studio for a few months. I present to you my very first paid "commission [...]

by Bob Dudolevitch on January 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Amtech P-40L-5 of the 79th Fighter Group in Mediterranean Theater markings ca late 1943, most likely in Sicily. I like the USAAF aircraft in the RAF-style camo (Dark Earth, Midstone, Azure), and British fin flash obscuring the serial [...]

Airfix quick build – spitfire

by George Henderson on January 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Got a belated Xmas gift from Grandkid Ezra yesterday. It a kinda non-official Lego kit and good for ages 5+. The decals are stickers and as I later found out, they have the sticking power of a frightened limpet to a rock. A quick check [...]
