1/72 Me-410 Hornisse, Frog F178

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

One of those planes that looked like a winner and didn’t quite pan out that way, I always considered the Me-410 looked like a mean machine. It did do considerable damage once the Me-210/410 design was finalized, but the history books do [...]

1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco, VINTAGE Revell H-648

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Another inspiration while reading R.S.Tucks biography, 'Fly for your Life', I did not know that the Regia Aeronautica sent aircraft to participate in the Battle of Britain. One learned fact the book does report was that the Fiat C.R.42 [...]

Eduard 1/72 Bf-109G-6 Hermann Graf.

by James Kelley on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Here's another Eduard '109. I used a lot of Eduard's 3D printed aftermarket sets (7 to be exact), which I will list below. The kit, as you know, is just the best. The decals really came through on this build, especially the red "tulip [...]

Oh dear .....

by Brian Kirwan on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Here is a little diorama I made up earlier this year using the Tamiya 1:48 Dewoitine D.520 kit. I based the diorama loosely on a series of photos of a Dewoitine D.520 crashed landed sometime during the invasion of France 1940. Nice kit [...]

Waiting for Godot

by Brian Kirwan on December 7, 2024 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡

Waiting for Godot Vladimir and Estragon await the arrival of Monsieur Godot under the shadow of the anti-micro aggression flak. This is a little fantasy piece I made using parts of Industria Mechanica Mobius.M mecha robot. I printed the [...]

Hobby Craft 1/48 P-40B "Pearl Harbor Defender" (Kit No. HC1450) 1996

by Bob Torres on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I know some modelers may disagree with me on saying this but I feel this is a pretty decent 1/48 scale kit of the P-40B. It builds up nicely and is an easy build but there were two areas that I felt that needed some attention: The [...]

Airfix Fokker F27-500 Laser Airborne Depth Sounder (LADS) Flight, Royal Australian Navy

by Ray Seppala on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is the Airfix F-27 kit, the 'updated' kit which was converted to a -500 using the Hamilton Hobbies LADS conversion set. Decals are from Southern Sky Models. The aircraft was operated on behalf of the Royal Australian Navy's [...]

Revell 1/72 He-177A-5

by Spiros Pendedekas on December 7, 2024 · in Aviation · 56 ≡

The origins of the idiosyncratic He-177 “Greif” can be traced in the mid 1930s, where Generalleutnant Walther Wever, a longtime advocate of strategic bombing, pressed the Luftwaffe to develop a dedicated long-range bomber for the role [...]

Operation Herrick...1/48 WMIK Land Rover, British Army

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on December 6, 2024 · in Armor · 2 ≡

So here´s the WMIK Land Rover form the Airfix dual combo kit. Whereas the Snatch is more or less troublefree, well Airfix is not Tamiya, the WMIK was worse. Most larger major parts were warped, lots of flash and in some areas terrible [...]
