French Army AMX-30B

by Robert on August 21, 2022 · in Armor · 3 ≡

Finally finished this superb model by Meng. Originally found in a charity shop, I was amazed that only 1 tiny part was missing. Meng make some very high quality parts, but the tracks were an absolute pain to make and took quite awhile. [...]

Whoops .....Tamiya R35 in 1:35

by Brian Kirwan on December 5, 2021 · in Armor · 17 ≡

Hi gents Hope everyone is keeping well. I have been away for a while but though it was time to add some stuff to Imodeller. This is a little diorama I made last year using the wonderful Tamiya 1:35 kit. The setting is inspired by a series [...]

Opération Mousquetaire...1/48 Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, Armée de l´Air

by Reinhard Spreitzhofer on November 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

And my dad has finished another one. This time a French Thunderstreak during the Suez Crisis in 1956, using the Italeri boxing of the Kinetic kit. The fuselage stripes come as decals. There are also decals for the blue wing tips but they [...]

R35 French Light Tank Tamiya 1:35

by Dennis Meyers on March 9, 2021 · in Armor · 14 ≡

My first wholly 2021 build--bought, started and finished this year. This is another great Tamiya kit. What more to say? I included Monsieur Le Commandant de Char to give a sense of the size of this petite 2-man tank. The peculiar [...]

Presented for review: Aéronavale F4U-7 F.14.9, USN Bureau No 133690, by Heller, in 1/48. As noted in many French F4U articles, the black and yellow ID stripes were for 'Operation Musketeer', aka the Suez Crisis of 1956. Heller did [...]

Tamiya AMX-13, French army

by Jay Biga on February 26, 2021 · in Armor · 6 ≡

Hi all, This one is almost done. Quick and easy build of the Tamiya AMX-13 kit, which is what you'd expect from recent Tamiya kits. For some reason this model got built, primered, and then sat in my "to finish pile" fort a few [...]

Rafale M Hobby Boss 1/48

by Jérôme Chapelle on December 11, 2019 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

There is a Rafale Marine from Hobby Boss in 1/48 scale. This is not the type of plane I would have built for myself, I had offered this box to my father almost a year ago, and he finally asked me to buid it for him. I did not look for [...]

Ostmodels Char 2C Super-Heavy Tank

by Jeff Groves on September 3, 2019 · in Armor · 5 ≡

This is the French Char 2C Super-Heavy Tank, available as a resin kit in 1/72 scale from Ostmodels. The main hull is cast as one large piece which is a very good thing. The model builds up quickly and is a good representation of the [...]

by Gary Brantley on August 14, 2015 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

The model is the Monogram 1/48 Mirage 2000, the instructions are dated 1986. I built the kit somewhere between '93 and '95. It had never been photographed at all until last Tuesday. When it was built way back then, I had very little [...]
