1/72 scale modeling

Airfix New tooled Spitfire XIX

What I love about these new tooled Airfix kits are the simplicity and directness of the design of models. This one was built OOB. The decals work reasonably well given the price paid for the kit and are way better than some more of the [...]

U-96 "Das Boot"

This is the fourth model I built, and after doing three aircraft, I was in the mood to do a warship. The big Revel 1/72 scale U-boat kit was fairly new at the time, and I was eager to see what I could do with it. The kit is absolutely [...]

Worst of the Best? Or: How i rescued a discarded model from certain destruction (Tamiya F4U-1D, 1/72nd Scale)

Hasegawa 1:72 F-14A

Hello everybody, this is my Hasegawa 1:72 Tomcat I made some time ago. This is one of the best kits in this scale I've ever made, full of details and a dream to build with no filling or sanding at all. Painted with Gunze acrylics and [...]

Not Yet a Thunderjet: Heller 1/72 XP-84 Conversion

The old 70s-vintage Heller F-84G Thunderjet in 1/72 was converted to represent the prototype XP-84 by cutting the wingtip tanks off and making new tips with styrene sheet, removing the canopy framing and smoothing out/polishing the canopy, [...]

Tamiya 1/72nd scale Fw-190A-3
