1/72 Trumpeter M1A1 Mine Cleaning Tank

by Rodney J. Williams on November 25, 2019 · in Armor · 1 ≡

After I built my Patton tank in 1998 I continued to build more of armor models. Here's another one that I built in February, 2016. The real tank had what they called a "Blade Cleaning System " attached to the front of the big [...]

1/35 "M-47 Patton Tank."

by Rodney J. Williams on November 25, 2019 · in Armor · 3 ≡

Some time in 1998 I bought this kit which was my very first tank model. I have no record of who made the kit but I can say that it was very easy to build right "o.o.b." I painted the track with some steel paint because real tanks [...]

Minicraft XF5F-1 Skyrocket

by George R Blair Jr on November 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I haven't posted anything for a while because I haven't built any models for a while because I was involved in building some buildings and scenery on my N Scale layout. Sorry, poor excuse. After I got to a stopping place, I really had [...]

Lindberg 1/48 Curtiss BFC-2

by Josh Patterson on November 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Due to Robert Knaack's article on November third I was motivated to get off my butt, order some EZ Line and finish my Goshawk. It also got me excited to build the FBC-2 from Freedom Models! The problem was I, like many others have been put [...]

The Desert Half Track

by Rodney J. Williams on November 24, 2019 · in Armor · 9 ≡

This kit intrigued me, so it became one of my favorite armor models. The two skeleton's went together just fine and the same for the rest of the vehicle. I made a base using 1/2" hard styrofoam then covered it with desert sand that I [...]

1/24th Lamborghinni

by Rodney J. Williams on November 24, 2019 · in Automotive · 3 ≡

This model was very easy to build so go buy one if you can fine it as I bought the kit back in 2007. I don't have any information as who made the kit. The "yellow"plastic looked so good so I started to polish it with my [...]

Beauty is not a question of taste – at least with a Spitfire Mk.II!

by Roland Sachsenhofer on November 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Beauty is a matter of taste, as one so aptly says - that a Spitfire represents a formal aesthetic pleasure, only very few doubt it. I would like to make this remark at the beginning of this report, because also in the kit description a lot [...]

Winter in Luxembourg

by IAN JACKSON on November 24, 2019 · in Armor · 8 ≡

Started two-and-a-half years ago, then parked on the 'Shelf of Forgetfulness' until about four weeks ago. Kit is the old but still OK'ish' Italeri kit - but the later re-box with the WWII tracks. It went together fairly well, but the [...]
