1/24 scale FERRARI F-40

by Rodney J. Williams on March 23, 2020 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

I DO NOT REMEMBER WHO MADE THIS KIT. All I can say is: It must have went together A-OK. I used different colors of Tamiya paints. RJW.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Hardtop.

by Rodney J. Williams on March 23, 2020 · in Automotive · 3 ≡

I love to build Cadillac car's as I owned 3 of them starting out in 1951, which is a long time ago. This 1/25th scale Cadillac "Eldorado" Hard Top kit was made by Revell. All the parts were nicely formed and as you can see there [...]

So far, sort’a kinda’ ok

by Bert_j on March 22, 2020 · in Armor · 5 ≡

Ok,…it’s time-out. Here’s my work in progress; a Tamiya 1/35th 38(t) E/F. I decided to stop at this point, with very light dry brushing and pinwash. As an aside, this is a great kit, easy to handle, without lots of fiddly parts, [...]

P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit

by Justin Bronk on March 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]

Repairing, Cleaning, and polishing clear parts and canopies.

by David Kopielski on March 22, 2020 · in How-to · 5 ≡

I have had a few requests on how I get my canopies so clear looking. Many times the clear parts in kits can get scuffed in shipping if they are not protected or come loose. Also some jet canopies or bubble top aircraft can have a seam from [...]

Canadair

by Carmelo Rodrigo on March 22, 2020 · in Photo Collections · 6 ≡

If it does not seem bad to you, and I am not sure if there is any specific site for photos, I am attaching those of the Canadair and a helicopter in full action. These are part of the photos that I have commented on in Boris's post. What a [...]

Revell 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

by Tom Bebout on March 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is my latest off the bench and one that gave me lots of problems. Most if not all of the issues were self inflicted. The kit supplied cockpit is OK but wanting more I found a True Detail set a.k.a. Victor, that I was really happy [...]

1/72 REVELL Canadair CL-415

by Boris Grgić on March 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Really not much to say about this kit. Not a bad kit, but decals are frustrating. Would have never bought it if I didn't get this idea for this mini diorama. Water and fire effects made out of silicone, isolation foam and cotton.
