Zip da dee Zipper! Kinetic 1/48 F-104G Starfighter

by Daniel PerezVertti on September 3, 2019 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Kinetic 1/48 F-104G Starfighter Box Packaging/Decals/Pubs: 7 This is the biggest letdown of the whole kit. But I’ll get to that. The decals are cartograph, so they are of perfect register, glossy, and colorful. There aren’t many, as [...]

I won't be doing a blow by blow, but here is just what the Dr ordered after a long detailed build like the Tomcat I just finished. A good old Monogram Tom Daniel kit...More to come later!

1/35 Das Werk 3cm Flakvierling 103/38

by Djordje Colovic on September 2, 2019 · in Armor · 6 ≡

It was too hot in Serbia this summer, rarely one day was under 35c in shade, real hell on earth. My compressor couldn't normally operate, paints were drying on the needle of the airbrush... So it was very difficult to make some fun, even [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 A-37A Dragonfly

by George V Guimaraes on September 2, 2019 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

Hello, This is my Dragonfly as used in Vietnam in the '60's. It's a special kit for me because I graduated in the Air Force Academy in his older and less powerful brother, the T-37C. Nice little bird though. I wish they had a kit for it, [...]

by Aldo Missio on September 2, 2019 · in Aviation · 11 ≡
