Spitfire MK Vb Tamiya 1/48 scale.

by Terry Schuler on May 1, 2015 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I built this model years ago, and was always disappointed in the results. Finally, a few months ago I'd had enough and pulled it off the shelf and started a restoration. I corrected a few visible seam lines and a couple other flaws in my [...]

1/48 Hobby Boss EMB-314

by Ken Hanson on May 1, 2015 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is my latest project. It's the 1/48 HobbyBoss EMB-314 Super Tucano. I plan to do a straight OOB build. It's my first time using photo etch, and I have to say it's not my favorite material to work with. It was a step outside my [...]

Monogram / Revell 1/48 Swift Boat

by Joe Caputo on April 27, 2015 · in Ships · 8 ≡

The Revell Swift Boat in 1/48th scale is a re-release ot the old Monogram kit. This kit, besides being in an odd scale (for me) seemed very "toy-like" in that a lot of the "detail" was molded on. There was no [...]
