Hasegawa 1/48 A6M2 Zero

by Boris Rakic on April 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

With Louis Gardner's article series on Japanese aircraft colors ramping up ((link)), I thought I'd deliver my take on the early war Mitsubishi A6M2. Hasegawa's Zero has been around for 25 years now, and it is still a very nice kit. It [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Scale, Ki.61-I

by Frederick J Seitz III on April 24, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Probably one of the best models I've ever built. Tamiya has really upped the game with this kit, with the engineering being amazing. Very little putty is required, and the kit falls together. The only complaint I can point at, are the [...]

My adventure into the 1/72 scale part 1.5 (fail)

by Geir Andersen on April 23, 2019 · in Armor · 1 ≡

So, this didn’t work out. The plan is to have a stand-off diorama and the E-100 Jagdpanzer is way to big for this setup. And as I later discovered the E-100 is something that is found in World of Tanks but probably never been [...]

Su-25 (Frogfoot) 1/72 ARTmodel

by Andrey Rybushkin on April 23, 2019 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Good evening! Another of my work on the scale of 1/72. The set is of poor quality and demanded a lot of effort to assemble. It took me 5 months to turn the pieces of plastic into a model similar to the Su-25. All outboard weapons had to [...]
