Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale P-40, “Kittyhawk III” (Longtail ‘K’), RNZAF

by Frederick J Seitz III on September 23, 2019 · in Uncategorized · 16 ≡

I think Hasegawa's line of P-40 kits are pretty much, the best of the type in this scale. They are loaded with fine detail and the fit is pretty good throughout, suffice to say, they are kits that have been very well engineered. They have [...]

Let’s try this again…

I have a thing for the Panther G, those who followed my now "paused" build of the RFM Panther will understand this. I still plan on tackling that beast again after I figure out how to deal with some of the kits problems, the [...]

1/350 Imperial Russian Battleship Knyaz Suvorov

by Won-hui Lee on September 22, 2019 · in Ships · 11 ≡

1/350 Scale (Zvezda) This kit is so terrible. In the end, I omitted a lot of this. I wanted to give up more than a dozen times. I didn't even have the will to paint. I don't want to look at this again. I want to attach meaning to the fact [...]

1/700 Scale Flyhawk The ship capsized as soon as it was finished and the mast was completely destroyed. The terrible accident completely destroyed my mental state.

1/350 USS Montana & US Navy WWII

by Won-hui Lee on September 22, 2019 · in Ships · 5 ≡

1/350 Scale Manufacturer : Very Fire The quality of this kit is pretty good. The quality of etching is good, but I think it's a pretty serious problem that there's not a single spare part of it, such as anti-aircraft guns. If you lose [...]

by Scott Snow on September 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The Sanka Mk.B is a prop driven interceptor from the Sky Crawlers (anime) universe. This is my 1/48th scale, Fine Molds, Sanka. The design closely resembles the Japanese Shinden. Unfortunately, the kit is out of production, and it was [...]

Monogram B-36 Peacemaker

by Thomas Probert on September 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Evening all, I'd been suffering from a serious case of modeller's block and had ground to a halt on all my projects and just couldn't get restarted. I'd actually built this kit on and off a while back, and all it needed was painting and [...]

À la recherche des maquettes perdu

by Aldo Missio on September 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

One of my resolutions on retirement was to finally re-indulge in the long-abandoned pleasure of scale model building. I built my first models when I was confined to hospital for long periods around age 8 to 12. My dad, a former RCAF [...]
