by Colin Gomez on September 6, 2020 · in Armor · 21 ≡

Here is my Iraqi Army T-72M completed as part of the Gulf War/Desert Storm Group Build. I corrected the 1/35 Tamiya kit with a more accurately-shaped SBS resin turret, including supplied photo-etched details for the searchlights and [...]

Corsair

by Amari Luu on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

After I messed up on the wing constitution, I decided to add some heavy weathering to the plane to try to cover up some of the extensive amount of super glue that I used.

Gloster Meteor F.8 at Försökscentralen

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The Försökscentralen (Test & Evaluation squadron) is a lesser known part of the Swedish air force. It tests flying materiel, tactics and equipment. Although it probably got less money in the budge than Pentagon use for paperclips in [...]

by Rodney J. Williams on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Bored at the "phoney war"? A very special Bf 108 Taifun!

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

As fascinating as the Bf 108 Taifun is as an aircraft, the motivation to build this model this time clearly came from the paint scheme. As soon as I saw this special Taifun, I knew which of the five marking variants of the Eduard Profipack [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Martin Model 167F-A.3 (Maryland)

by George R Blair Jr on September 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

I was recently reading about the hunt for the battleship Bismarck during WW2, and came across an interesting connection between this plane and the final demise of the warship. The Martin Maryland was never used by the USAAF, but was sold [...]
