by Dennis Meyers on October 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

In a great September 14, 2020 iModeler review of this kit Tom Cleaver said "The kit is a marvel of production design" that successfully deals with traditional shortcomings of P-38 kits and is “modeler-friendly.” I couldn't [...]

by Jaime Carreon on October 24, 2021 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

11 - Academy 1/48 Hughes 500d – Isreali Scheme

by Anthony Ricco on October 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

A nice quick and quite simple build that I put some extra effort into - I wanted to do an Israeli scheme but didn't have the decals to so I made a mask of the Yellow V with tape and got a friend to cut a mask of the Israeli roundels for [...]

by Clark Cook on October 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Just recently off the bench is my rendition of the older but excellent Monogram 1/48 OA-4M in the two tone gray finish. I used Mr. Color paints and their semi-gloss for a final finish. Furball decals were also used and I cannot say [...]

by Stéphane Bredel on October 23, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

by Pip Moss on October 21, 2021 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is my second Tamiya F-16 and was completed in March 2021. I encountered a few small fit issues I don't remember from the first one, but I still really love this kit: clever engineering, not overly difficult, but still an interesting [...]
