The Försökscentralen (Test & Evaluation squadron) is a lesser known part of the Swedish air force. It tests flying materiel, tactics and equipment. Although it probably got less money in the budge than Pentagon use for paperclips in [...]

1/48 Special Hobby "V-173 Flying Pancake"

by Tom Hering on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Completed in 2020. Though I've started half-a-dozen or so aircraft models over the decades, this is the first one I've ever finished. The kit has some serious faults. Even the plastic it's made of is a problem. (It splits and cracks under [...]

Bored at the "phoney war"? A very special Bf 108 Taifun!

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

by George R Blair Jr on September 4, 2020 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

British Fury

by Amari Luu on September 2, 2020 · in Armor · 4 ≡

I wanted to build a 1/48 scale tank and I chose a Churchill Crocodile for the project. I also wanted to see if I can hand paint small letters so I decided to put Fury on the barrel. The accessories are from miniart.

by Robert Knaack on September 2, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The inspiration for this project was the photo of torpedoes being loaded onto Helldivers of VB-2 on the U.S.S. Hornet. The aircraft in the photo is the SB2C-1C version of the Helldiver, and since I had a Pro-Modeler SB2C-4 kit that I had [...]
