by Maxim Bylkin on June 28, 2019 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Hello! Today I want to introduce to you a very old model, this is Raskal GAM-63- the first American cruise missile. The models are no less than 50 years old, but it looks quite decent, here is a tractor, that's just like a toy. Therefore, [...]

1/72 Hasegawa F-111D, s/n 68-0150, Cannon AFB, NM, 1979 At Squadron-MMD’s EagleQuest modeling show last year, I showed a friend, Jerry Hendrickson, a photo of an F-111D I was flying when I lost most of my rudder on a supersonic run many [...]

Airfix Bf-109E1 (converted from E3 kit)

by Andreas Fey on June 28, 2019 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hello, This is another Emil from my workbench. I converted a E3 to an E1 by removing the ammo bulges under the wings and recessing new hatches. The canopy is from spare parts, cause Airfix is providing the E4 - E7 canopy only. The decals [...]

Airfix 1/48 Curtiss Tomahawk II

by Tom Cleaver on June 28, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

1/32 Tamiya Mosquito

by George Johnson on June 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Progress has been slow on this and not because it's a difficult kit to build. We're fostering a 6 month old Teacup Yorkshire Terrier who has taken up a lot of time so modeling has temporarily taken a back seat. Anyway, Ihave done a little [...]

by Colin Latta on June 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Yet another oldie! This is Otaki's 1/48 FW-190A-8 that I originally started as just a 'paint mule' to try out a paint mix. One thing lead to another and, well, here you are. I added details to the cockpit, belts from aluminum tape and [...]

Takom 1:72 M1070 w/M1000 w/D9R Bulldozer

by Dennis Meyers on June 27, 2019 · in Armor · 12 ≡

by Ulf Lundberg on June 26, 2019 · in Ships · 23 ≡

I always wanted her. Who? The Duca d’Aosta of course, the Italian Beauty! Between the two World Wars, the Italians built a series of twelve light cruisers in five classes, the so called Condottieri Cruisers. The first classes were weakly [...]

Matchbox B-17G: Fools Rush In Where Wise Men Fear To Tread

by Dan Lee on June 26, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the iconic aircraft of World War 2 and easily one of the most recognizable bomber type in the world (although fans of the Lancaster might have something to say about that.) When it first flew in combat [...]
