Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Me-262 Kit # 110 (1960)

by David Garcia on July 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

When Airfix issued their new Me-262 kit I decided to build the original kit for a fun comparison. The original early kit is built out of the box and I used the second set of markings from the new kit. As most early kits from that era the [...]

Classic Kit: Monogram 1/48 P-38 First Edition (1964)

by David Garcia on July 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

Here is Monogram's P-38 built out of the box. This is an original first edition, kit PA97-200, and as the code shows it was priced at $2.00. Later boxings of the kit showed yellow cowlings, but on this one I painted it as the [...]

Vintage Monogram 1/72 F-105B (1958)

by David Garcia on July 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

First issued in the late 1950s Monograms F-105B included moving parts and a pilot that could be ejected. This is a later version without those features and showed an F-105B in Vietnam. The first time I built this kit was in 1973 and [...]

Vintage: Lindberg 1/51 F-94 Demonstrator (1954)

by David Garcia on July 9, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is an oldie and dates back to early 1950s. Heck it's older than I am. It does not look like much in the box but I thought lets build it anyway. The only thing holding me back were markings. Due to the scale finding decals were a [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX PK-2

by David Garcia on July 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I build old kits, the older the better. I especially like Revell, Aurora, HAWK, Matchbox and Airfix from the 1950s and '60s and 1970's. This Matchbox PK-2 of the 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX upgraded [...]

Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic, 1/8 snap kit Revell.

by Roberto Colaianni on May 19, 2021 · in Automotive · 14 ≡

Well, this time I had to build something unusual for me: a very old Revell snap kit 1/8 of an Harley Davidson. First of all the strange think is that the commitent, a former Harley owner, would like to have a reproduction of the model, as [...]
