Winter in Luxembourg

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 [...]

Another Pink Car !

by Rodney J. Williams on November 24, 2019 · in Automotive · 2 ≡

I found another kit that showed a "Pink" car on the box top art work. Since I had lots of pink paint left over from painting my Cadillac and 2 airplanes, I just had to buy this car? I spruced up the engine with homemade spark [...]

The Cadillac Engine

by Rodney J. Williams on November 23, 2019 · in Automotive · 5 ≡

The engine was easy to build. I added spark plug's and their ignition wires, including a coil wire. I included an engine and transmission oil dip sticks. The wooden pallet represents the kind of "skid" that they put engine's on [...]

Heller 1/72 Lockheed EC-121 "Warning Star"

by Joe Caputo on November 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

BIG ! This is a large, old kit, that shows both it's size and age. There are several aftermarket kits, for those who want to upgrade. Mine is straight from the box. There are few parts, but a lot of plastic, and it takes a lot of [...]

by S. Cubas on November 23, 2019 · in Armor · 3 ≡

by Chuck A. Villanueva on November 23, 2019 · in Reviews · 18 ≡

With the new ICM new mold B-26B now in our hot little hands. Though overshadowed by the P-38 released about the same time. Still it was an anticipated and long awaited release that a lot of WWII model builders have waited for. I built [...]

Dora Wings 1/48 Bf 109 V4 Prototype

by John Clark on November 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 22 ≡
