1/72 F4U-1A Corsair
This was a reprise of the Hasegawa Corsair kit that I built two weekends ago as a F4U-4 flying from Bunker Hill in February 1945 in overall Glossy Sea Blue. This build was an attempt to get a good tricolor scheme down, as well as try out [...]
M4A1 (76) W Sherman- Operation Cobra, France Summer 1944 (1/72)
Trumpeter's M4A1
(07222)
A nice little kit but it also has a few disadvantages but if you are looking for quick fun, you should still be well served.
Here I also use the opportunity to reduce my inventory of conversion parts a bit;).
There [...]
Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort Mk.1
This is a kit that is a joy to build, yes, even the canopy.
I wanted to do it as a Mk.1a and chose a scheme from 217 Squadron, RAF Luqa in 1942.
Aftermarket: Kitsworld Cockpit Decals, Eduard Look IP, CMK Resin Brownings and Brassin [...]
Fairey Fulmar series - Raul Hrubisko – 1/72 scale
Hi
My father has just finished this new project. We have been working for a couple of months on it.
This is the final list and the final photos. To be honest, I never thought that the Fulmar series has 22 models. I thought that it would be [...]
1/72 F6F-5 Hellcat
My attempt to make headway on my stash of unbuilt kits settled on a second 1/72 Academy F6F this week. In 2021 I built this kit as Alex Vraciu's F6F-3 - (link). This time I would build the kit as a F6F-5 in overall Glossy Sea Blue.
I [...]
Airfix 1/72 Vulcan B.2
The new tool Airfix Vulcan is superior in every respect (unfortunately, also for the price) to the original issue dated back in 1983. The build is straight forward. However, the massive model size poses challenges along the build. Your [...]
Molesworth's horse
In Searle and Willian's Molesworth books - the delinquent schoolboy tries betting on horses and he chooses a glossy nice looking animal that falls at the first fence. The Renard R-31 reminds me very much of that tale - a nice looking, [...]
Tamiya Corsair
Continuing with my recent Corsair kick, here’s my Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1. I used EagleCals decals for New Zealand 21 Squadron markings and Quinta Studio 3D decals for the interior. The 3D decals were pretty impressive. They really add a lot [...]
Pz.Kpfw.V Panther Ausf.G, January 1945 (1/72)
Panther Ausf.G form Vespid Models
(VS720008)
A kit that can only be recommended.
Fine and sharp details and the accuracy of fit is on the whole quite good.
Only the rollers and the swing arms had slight tolerances during assembly.
But the [...]
M1A1 Abrams- Anniston Army Depot (1/72)
The idea for this project came to me while reading the new issue of the AK Wornart Collection.
Representing an M1 in this form seemed like a good idea to me;).
It is intended to represent a used M1 that is stored in the Army depot and [...]
