Review: Sprue tour! Revell 1/72 Vought Corsair F4U-1A
One of those surprising finds one finds when one finds one isn't looking for one.
Kingfisher…Rode Hard & Put Up Wet
Here is my Kingfisher, Revell (Monogram (c) 1967), 1/48, just drug up out of the water it seems. I can't do any more for it... or to it! So...Yay!
The poor old girl was suffering from a 2" abdominal fracture in the left rear fuselage [...]
Getting Snarky
Revell's Northrop SM-62 Snark missile, originally tooled in 1957. A pretty basic toy-like kit, but a fun build. I sanded off all the rivets and re-scribed some of the lines, and added a bit of detail here and there. Revell supply decals [...]
More Pictures of the Revell 1/48 Type IXc.
My love for U-Boats started back in the early 70's when I first read Herbert Werner's "Iron Coffins".
I bought Revell's Type IX U-Boat as soon as it was out.
The build was pretty much straight forward. The size of the hull (42 [...]
Revell 1/72 Type IXc U-Boat, U-505 Capture June 1944.
Built out of box. First time using salt treatment. The conning tower is insignia blue, ya, I couldn't belive it too but according to a couple of sites this was the color. Figures are from Czech Masters with some modification.
Revell 1/28 Fokker Dr.1
I've always loved these big planes by Revell. This is probably the fifth triplane I've built since the sixties. Details include etched brass from Tom's Modelworks, decals by Americal Gryphon (crosses only, the rest was painted [...]
Revell 1/72 PT-109
Since watching "McHale's Navy" and the movie "PT-109" when I was a kid, I've been fascinated with PT boats. I decided I needed a change of pace and this was what came of it.
The kit is the oldest in Revell's inventory, [...]
Revegawa 1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1
My latest build...
The Revell 1:32 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1, in fact it's a "mongrel" Revell parts and Hasegawa parts in one box sold under the Revell brand.
Let me tell you first that I do not like Spitfires, nor do I [...]
Heinkel He-111 H6 – Hail and Farewell
Here's Revell's reboxing of the Hasagawa 1/72 Heinkel. My oldest daughter asked if I had a model for her youngest son's bedroom (I'd already given her older boy a 1/48 F4 Corsair), and when I looked through the garage I found this little [...]
Something about the P-38…
The P-38 will always be a special airplane for me. I grew up in San Gabriel, CA from 1939 to 1947, all during WWII. Ages 1 to 8, a very formative time in a young person’s life and mind.
We had all kinds of warplanes flying over every [...]
