by Robert Royes on May 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I always wanted to model this aircraft. There was a limited run 1/72 kit with these markings but I missed the boat when they were more easily available, I found the kit recently on a site overseas, but it was cost prohibitive. There was a [...]

1/24 Academy Mazda T600 Truck

by Jeremy Millan on May 28, 2023 · in Automotive · 17 ≡

The next installment in my 1/144th bomber fleet. Academy has upped their game quite a bit in recent years; this was a fine kit with excellent fit and detail. It assembled seamlessly. I tried to finish it in Mission Models Gunship Grey but [...]

by Michael Smith on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

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 [...]

by Mark P Hartig on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

For some time now I've schemed to build a collection of post WW II US bombers but never could find enough space for display. Thwarted for years, I finally discovered Academy's 1/144 scale kits and the problem was solved. These are [...]
