1/72 Academy F-4J UK

by Alistair Gauld on June 1, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Another in the series of Phantom Builds. The Academy kit despite being a snap fit went together without any hassle. My only issue was completely self inflicted as I dropped it not long after the canopy was glued down and I thought I'd [...]

1/48 Hawker Hunter

by Jay Mitchell on May 31, 2025 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

This is the first Hawker Hunter I’ve built. It’s been in my stash of kits since 2020. A few weeks ago I decided it was time to build it. Airfix did a great job engineering and producing this kit. It’s not an inexpensive kit, but it [...]

Ford GT40 Mk 2, Meng, 1/24

by George Williams on May 31, 2025 · in Automotive · 24 ≡

In 1966, at their third attempt, Ford managed to beat their bitter revivals Ferrari to win the Le Mans 24 hour sports car race, a story that doesn’t really need repeating here. However, the official results of the race are more the [...]

A Novo (Frog) Canberra

by Bruce Archer on May 31, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi All! We all have a shelf of doom. How long has the oldest member of your shelf of doom been there? Well, this Novo re-pop of a Frog Canberra B(I).8 sat on mine for at least 23 years ( you need to “age” kits for a while!). Frustrated [...]

Tamiya 1/6 Gorilla Spring Collection mini bike

F9F-8P Photo Recon Cougar

by Scott Snow on May 28, 2025 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Grumman's "cats" are all beautiful aircraft, but the lines of the fighter version of the F9F Cougar are particularly stunning. So why did I choose muck up its lines by building the photo-recon version? Well, there was just [...]

The 1/72 Monogram HU-16D Albatross

by Drew Tarter on May 28, 2025 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

My latest build is an extensive reworking of the old 1/72 Monogram HU-16 Albatross. First issued in 1957, this kit is a true classic, and represents the later HU-16D version, with the taller vertical fin and extended wings. I remember [...]
