China Dog

by Mike Grant on November 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

There isn't much to say about this, it's the Hasegawa 1/72 F-86D Sabre Dog finished in RoCAF markings. It was done as a quick build after a particularly tedious/difficult project and it was just the tonic- straightforward, great fit and [...]

1972 Tamiya 1/48 Ki84. Attempted stressed metal build.

by Jimmy Zed on November 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Another cheap as chips kit! I grabbed this when i picked up the previous Tamiya Raiden which was also a '70's vintage kit. Being so cheap i thought i would continue my exploration of techniques and stumbled across the stressed metal look. [...]

Zvezda Su-2 1/48

by George Chatzidakis on November 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Zvezda's Su-2 is a decent kit, with lots of detail for a fair price. It has its drawbacks, such as the void of detail bomb bay, but goes together without major issues. For this project I used Eduard's p.e. set as well as parts from Mars [...]

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 [...]
