Medium Mark A Whippet, Meng 1/35

by Paul Barber on July 12, 2020 · in Armor · 23 ≡

My first tank. I can't say too much about the Whippet - I'm no expert! It was said to be fast in its era - running at a heady 8.3mph flat out! The power was provided by 2 Tyler JB4 petrol engines (45hp) - the same as those of the [...]

by Jim Sullivan on July 11, 2020 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

Here's my first offering for the Korean War group build. It's the good ole Monogram 1/48th F9F-5 Panther done in the markings of VF-51 which flew off the USS Valley Forge off Korea in 1953. The build was smooth with the exception of [...]

ICM 1/35 Chernobyl firetruck

by Carl Christensen on July 11, 2020 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

This is yet another eBay find that I wasn't expecting while looking for something else. I didnt even know the kit existed. I quite enjoyed this build as I usually do military stuff that's green or gray, so something a bit brighter (in [...]

by Terry Schuler on July 11, 2020 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The Tamiya Corsairs are know as one of the best kits of this legendary aircraft, and rightfully so. They are fun to build, and create a very good representation of this aircraft. This particular model represents an F4U flown by Major [...]

by Juan Benitez on July 11, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The Me-410 Hornisse was a follow on to the ill-fated Me-210 heavy fighter, which almost destroyed Messerschmitt's reputation due to its horrendous handling qualities. The design was intended as a Heavy Fighter, light bomber and [...]

Alpine Canary…1/48 North American T-6G Texan, Austrian Airforce

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on July 10, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

After my fellow countryman Roland Sachsenhofer posted his Italeri (Occidental) French Texan I looked through my foto albums and realized that there were only very old pics of my father´s Austrian T-6 that he built with the same kit a [...]

Aussie Sea Fury

by Jimmy Zed on July 10, 2020 · in Aviation · 40 ≡

This one has a fairly unusual peace time 'kill'.. On the morning of 30th August 1955, one of the oddest 'shoot downs' in the history of military aviation occurred; No 805 Squadron would be called upon to fire on an unusual 'enemy' in the [...]

Here are a hand full of photos of my Hasegawa, 1/48th scale F-104C. It depicts FG-891 of the 479th Tactical Fighter Wing. Because of it's colorful scheme, this Starfighter is probably one of the most photographed airframes. What can I [...]
