Working jackstands

How many of us have asked ourselves, “just how am I going to put that gear retraction test in my diorama? What am I going to do for jackstands?” That was the very question I faced while planning my 1/48 scale Caribbean air cargo [...]

Hasegawa, 1/48 P-40E

My last post of 2017, and yes it's another of Tom's P-40's from his on going collection. This is the first Hasegawa P-40 I've completed and it's really a sweet little kit. Went together very well, and no putty or filler was used. I did add [...]

THE FRYING PAN CHALLENGE! Part 4. The fun has begun.

Playing around with the airbrush over large surfaces is the best part of aircraft modeling in my opinion. Before I painted the black underside, I laid a foundation of reddish brown. That was followed by a thin layer of dark grey and then [...]

Mitsubishi A6M2b, Model 21, Type 0, Reisen or “Zero”

Revel 1/48 P-40B

This is my first post and I'm happy to be apart of the society. This is my P-40B from Revel. The tow cart is from a B-24 as well as the crew. Please note the base ball cap on the driver of the tow cart. Base ball was a popular sport in the [...]

1/48 Nakajima Ki-27 by Hasegawa

This is an early Hasegawa boxing of the Mania Models Ki-27 from about 1977...I think. I put some Eduard details in the cockpit including a seat, belts, and instrument panel but since its so small I really didn't do much more there. The [...]
