by Eric Berg on July 30, 2019 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Here’s my grimy looking Blue Angels’ F8F-1 “Beetle Bomb” Bearcat circa late 1949 as it might have looked after a hard weekend working an airshow. Note the attached photo of the actual plane. By early 1948 the Blue Angels were [...]

ICM Model T US Ambulance

by Robert Joseph Cookson on July 29, 2019 · in Armor · 13 ≡

A departure of sorts, as I tend to stick to aviation, although the WWI theme is also my main interest. I had a good time with this one - no problems at all with the kit itself (the painting instructions were a bit vague at times), but it [...]

Spangdahlem F-16C

by IAN JACKSON on July 29, 2019 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Hey folks, back again: It's odd but until recently I'd not built an F-16 in any scale for over twenty years, now there's two in my cabinet ! - the other is an Italeri 'B' This is Tamiya's 1:48 F-16C-50, not quite a 'shake'n bake' as some [...]

Outpost in Libya, fall 1941

by Geir Andersen on July 28, 2019 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

So I ended up building a diorama for my Sd.Kfz. 222 Leichter Panzerspähwagen but it needed something more than just the 222. As I already had the FLAK 37 anti-aircraft gun on my shelf, I decided to use that as it had some nice figures as [...]

Latest small project

by Jim Stemple on July 28, 2019 · in Ships · 8 ≡

My latest project, my grandson chance started it (we bought it for him to build), he fiddled a bit and quit so it set unassembled on the book shelve in the box in the way. So I pulled it out and built it, looks good?, but I have plans for [...]

Hasegawa Me-163 Komet – 1/32 scale

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on July 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

In my collection of built models as well as in my kit stack, I have few items from German aviation. But that's not because I don't like it, but because I usually have difficulty to paint german schemes. I decided to built this Hasegawa [...]

Hobby Boss 1/48 YF-23 Black Widow II

by Matt Buxton on July 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This has been one of my favourite designs since I was a child. I had fun building this and tried a few new ideas like tinting the canopy and colour variation on the heat tiles in the exhaust. This was also the first kit I used pre-shading [...]
