by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here we have my 8th build of the year, the 1/32 scale SBD3 Dauntless by Trumpeter. Molding is exceptional, body and cowl are clear plastic for some reason, which I find useless. The instructions are typical Trumpeter, filled with mystery [...]

1/72 Octopus I.M.A.M. Ro.43

by Anthony Ricco on November 16, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This kit was a challenge like I'd never had before, a short run kit with vague instructions, no alignment pins and vac form canopies, but its such a cool plane and I had to do it. So off I went, and what fun I had, yes, yes, I'm a s****r [...]
