Blood Brothers – Two Era’s of Thunderbolts

by Matt Minnichsoffer on April 30, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

A while back I ran across an article about an A-10 from the 124th Fighter Wing/190th Fighter Squadron painted in World War II D-Day livery as an homage to the Squadron’s heritage and it gave me an idea. I’ve always been a big fan of [...]

Meraviglie in Scala 1:1

by DAVIDE PONTICELLI on April 30, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Sunday I visited the Vigna di Valle Museum, half an hour's drive from Rome. I was able to see up close many planes that I admire and in particular 3 of the next ones that I want to represent. The Macchi M.39 winner of the 1926 Schneider [...]

USS Ethan Allen

by Scott Nelson on April 30, 2024 · in Ships · 16 ≡

Before seeing Dan Lee’s build of the USS Thresher, I had not heard of MicroMir models. I’ve always had a fondness for modern subs (especially when needing a simple modeling recharge) and Dan’s excellent job compelled me to order a [...]

WIP: Tried the Mr Color Rapid Thinner. Me Like!

by Graeme Street on April 29, 2024 · in How-to · 19 ≡

I used the Mr color Super silver and Stainless steel on my Mustang with the Mr color 400 thinner. In general I was happy with the results. Although I wanted a tighter silver and less "sparkles". (link) I had read somewhere [...]

1/144 SBD Dauntless (Brengun Models)

by Robert Joseph Cookson on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

I seem to have moved away from the larger scales. God knows what I will do with about 45 Wingnut Wings 1/32 kits, but here we are. As my eyesight deteriorates my modelling subjects are shrinking! I thought I'd try a 1/144 subject, so got [...]

P-35 & its relation to te RE 2000

by Steven Corvi on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This was a nice little build from Special Hobby and it seemed appropriate after the RE 2000. These two airframes share a lot in common Steve

ICM 35451 German Truck KHD S3000 1/35

by Harm on April 29, 2024 · in Automotive · 10 ≡

After reading about the (short) fights at Bridge Eleven during operation Market Garden I decided to build a German Truck. I didn’t manage to find out which German truck entered the bridge at Grave shortly after lieutenant Thompson and [...]

Meng 1/35 Magach 6B Gal

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 29, 2024 · in Armor · 6 ≡

From the outset, Meng's "Magach" (rampage) 6B is a promising kit. A detailed kit of the Israeli adaptation to the M60A1 with enhanced armor to meet increasing threats in the battle field. The fit of parts is very good and the [...]

Trumpeter 1:32 Stuka

by Tony Anderton on April 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Finally finished this Stuka from Trumpeter. I had no issues building this, apart from spending ages painting the engine, only to find its invisible once you add the cowling and I didn't fancy doing "plastic surgery' (I'm not [...]
