1/350 Graf Spee by Academy

by Michael Wayne Knowles on August 28, 2013 · in Ships · 15 ≡

This is one of my earliest big ships and it was a joy to build. Despite Academy's heavy handed molding of the finer details, I found the model to be very satisfying. I was able to replace most of them with extra/alternate parts from the [...]

1/72 Academy PBY 5A "Black Cat"

by Joe Caputo on August 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

by Tom Bebout on May 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A couple of years ago I'm visiting my brother and sister-in-law and noticed she had displayed a photo of her deceased father and the crew of his B-17F Double Exposure. Bernard Brailer is in the second row, fourth man going from left to [...]

by Frank Cronin on May 30, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡
