General Dynamics EF-111A (Academy 1/48)

by Christopher Church on October 24, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

This kit has been in my stash since the 1990’s. Some significant work was required to reinforce and clean up the front/rear fuselage join. Without internal reinforcement, there’s too much flex and too little area for glue to adhere [...]

1/144 Scale Grumman X-29

by Rodney J. Williams on October 24, 2020 · in Aviation

I like unusual looking airplanes and Grumman sure made one with this X-29. I wonder where is X-1 to X-28 ? This model was a charm to build, but I do not recall if I did much research. The photo's do not show hardly any flashing on this [...]

by Greg Fabian on October 24, 2020 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This is the second model I've built since restarting my hobby after a nearly 40 year recess. The subject of this attempt was the excellent Tamiya 1:48 Razorback P-47 Thunderbolt. I really wanted to build the "Spirit of Atlantic [...]

by Dennis Meyers on October 24, 2020 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This is my first surface ship project since doing a few in my youth. This kit has no PE or resin but it has some very fine plastic parts. I used nearly every type of tool, glue, paint and technique I know of. The last steps were [...]

by Andrew H on October 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

I bring you a recently completed model that took neither much time, nor much effort, but which has produced a cool little airplane. To begin, I bought this kit after seeing one in person at an airshow last month. The airshow (or fly-in) [...]

Another Sherman

by Amari Luu on October 23, 2020 · in Armor · 9 ≡

As I waited for paint to arrive for my Sky raider, I decided to build a 1/48 Sherman. Since I also have a 1/48 Tiger, I planned on building a diorama for the movie Fury. The Sherman didn’t work out so the diorama won’t be of the movie [...]
