Turkish Bomber

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on April 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

by Mark P Hartig on April 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I got this kit as a practice run for Academy's B-50D with the idea if I was going to bungle something it would be something that was easy to replace. No one glaring problem presented itself thru the build; if I was to whine about something [...]

Let me post a Flyhawk Dauntless. I am a Flyhawk devotee by nature, and they have brought us a kit that lives up to our expectations in aircraft modelling. I was amazed to learn that this was their first model aeroplane kit. The aircraft I [...]

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

The Revell Victor is a 1982 Matchbox mold that builds into an impressive model. Yet, much work is required to eliminate the seam trenches. The engine intakes area is particularly problematic. Also the exhaust area is crudely molded. I [...]

by Brian Kirwan on April 5, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

A few words to the KV-85: KV-85 was the last version of the KV tank series to be produced (mid 1943) and was intended as an interim solution until the IS-1 tank, which was still under trial, was put into service. The latter IS-1 was [...]
