Hello, guys.
This is my latest project just completed. Macchi M.C.72 established the world speed record (709 km/h) of piston-engined hydroplanes in April,1934. This record has not been beaten until now, and will not be broken in the future [...]
With some modelling projects, it is quite clear what motivated you to build them. In the case of the rare DC-10 modification presented here, I can easily identify three factors that I would like to present below.
Fascination number one: [...]
They can't all be winners, unfortunately. But you can always learn something along the way. I am not sure whether it was the kit or me, but I ran into issues that I couldn't fix. The fuselage is very thin and flimsy and when I tried to [...]
This is the 1/48 AMP HO3S-1 Dragonfly. Its amost straight from the box but some added seatbelts. The figures are bashed together and the torsos modified from Luftwaffe pilot figures because the closest i could get to a Korean War Navy [...]
After receiving the invitation to participate in this great helicopter group build from our friend Colin @coling, I felt fotunate to participate in it.
Since my building preference is the WWII, I thought it would be difficult to find a [...]
I generally build in 1:48 except for helicopters, for which I stay in 1:72. This is one of two that I've been working on for my model club's annual group build theme, "Rescue and Recovery." It's a Sikorsky H-5, the first [...]
I completed the AMP 1/144 B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber. The kit comes with good details, has very good fit, and very good decals. This was ordered by a client who wanted it for a display in his office. The scheme he chose was the “Spirit [...]
In 1911, a time when floatplanes and flying boats were barely capable of leaving the water, Jacques Schneider introduced the Schneider Cup at a banquet following the 4th annual James Gordon Bennet race for landplanes, for a similar race [...]
Lovely kit by AMP of this rather odd-looking but useful early helicopter. Being a fan of the non-mainstream I couldn't help myself.
The kit is very complete in its offering; Besides the plastic you get a p.e. fret and masks. I did some [...]
The “Horse”:
The H-5 was originally built by Sikorsky as its model S-48, designated as the R-5 by the United States Army Air Forces. It was designed to provide a helicopter having greater useful load, endurance, speed, and service [...]
