Testors 1/48 OV-10A Bronco Workbench update

by Spiros Pendedekas on March 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

UPDATE 22/3/2020 Hello my friends, I can see things are really tough for poor Italy, Spain and others gradually not looking too good as well. Here in Greece things start to escalate in a bad way, we will see how it goes. Hoping for the [...]

California is locked down! Updated March 22

by Tom Cleaver on March 20, 2020 · in News · 18 ≡

Our governor just announced a "stay inside" order for the entire state until April 19. You can go to groceries, pharmacies, banks and gas stations, and take a walk around the block - but you have to keep 6ft/2m separation. Also [...]

The Lightning that flashed too late

by Shun on March 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Hello, guys! The IJN experimental fighter Shin-den (literally, “Magnificent Lightning") made its maiden flight on August 3, 1945, about 10 days before Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces in WW2. Although this aircraft of the [...]

Terminator T-800 resin bust repainted

by Geir Andersen on March 19, 2020 · in Figures · 2 ≡

I bought this resin bust on a trip to London back in 1998. It had no box or any information, only the resin bust in a plastic bag. I think it’s 1/5 scale but know nothing more about it. Remember this was 7 years before Youtube.com came [...]

An English Racing Plane

by Rodney J. Williams on March 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

While surfing the web, I found this first photo, then the second one and being an "air racing" modeler, I just had to have it. The kit parts had next to no flashing and all the "fits" were next to perfect, except for [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Hs 129B-2

by Stan Traas on March 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

A very good kit, especially considering it's age. A lazy paint job on my part... no effort at topside shading/weathering, etc. I'm not such a fan of the Eastern front or Schlachtgeschwaderen, but it's a twin and not something you see [...]

The North American Aviation T-6 is an advanced American single engine training aircraft used to train pilots from the United States and more than 60 other countries. I am particularly passionate about this plane, mainly for its use in the [...]

A Wolf In Cat's Wings

by Dan Lee on March 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

INTRODUCTION “There isn't enough thrust in Christendom to fix this plane.” With that sentence, Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly sealed the fate of the F-111B and his Navy career. Out of the ashes of a plane totally unsuited for carrier [...]

1/48 Freedom Models F-20A Tigershark

by David Kopielski on March 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the Freedom Models 1/48 scale F-20A Tigershark. Built by Northrop (before they became Northrop Grumman). They used the F-5E as a base and modified many aspects of the frame and avionics to make the F-5G. When the USAF started the [...]

ARMA Hobby Yak-1b 1:72

by Dennis Meyers on March 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

In contrast to my Plattformwagen, I had a far better experience with this stunning kit. I can't sing its praises enough. Despite being a fairly young company, this kit's quality equals if not exceeds Tamiya and Eduard kits. I'm not [...]
