1/72 PzKpfw III Ausf. L.
This is my first tank build since high school - appropriate since attending TankFest last summer. It's a early 1943 Eastern Front version of a Panzer III - Revell 1/72 kit. The paint went on a little dark, and I tried to lighten down [...]
1/48 Revell PV-1 Ventura, Bureau Number 34623, of VPB-145 at NAS Deland, July 29th, 1943
This true story is based on actual events that happened here at the Deland airport exactly 80 years ago today... on July 29th, 1943.
I wanted to tell their story by writing this article, and building this PV-1 Ventura model, as a tribute [...]
JU 87 - G takes me down memory lane
I saw this old, classic kit and decided to give it a try. Glad I did, but not for the reasons I expected. This is my first post mainly because I have only picked up modeling again after a many decade absence and I don’t this k my [...]
Monogram 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
The 498th Bombardment Squadron was first organized at Columbia Army Air Base, South Carolina, in September 1942, as one of the four original squadrons of the 345th Bombardment Group. Upon finishing training with B-25 Mitchells, the [...]
Revell 1/32 Junkers Ju 88A-4
One of Revell's Luftwaffe giants. Unlike Revell's previous Ju-88A-1, the A-4 with the longer wing span and overall more familiar features makes a better impression. However, the building process is marred by the crude parts resulting with [...]
Revell Tupolev Tu-95RT ((Razvedchik-Tseleookazatel, reconnaissance & target illuminator aircraft), 1/144 scale
This is the Revell 1/144 scale Tu-95 Bear, kit #4727, first issued in 1992 and now out of production but generally available for rather elevated prices on Ebay. I acquired mine years ago when it and shipping was more economical. This kit [...]
Focke-Wulf Ta 154 Moskito 1/48 scale
This is the out of production ProModeler 1/48 Focke-Wulf Ta 154 Moskito, kit#5959, 1999 issue. Revell Monogram Models produced the molds in South Korea and first issued the kit in 1999. Dragon Models later issued the same molds in their [...]
Revell 1/72 Breguet Atlantic 1 "Italian Eagle"
Revell's new boxing was a good opportunity to explore the build of the venerable Atlantic. It is a solid old school build with thick and strong plastic and seam lines to fill. Yet, thanks to the low number of parts it is a quick build that [...]
Pro Modeler 1/48 P-39Q Airacobra
The origins of the Airacobra can be traced back in 1937, when USAAC issued a specification calling for a single-engine high-altitude interceptor. The aggressive specifications called, among others, for a liquid-cooled Allison engine [...]
„En Condor over Danmark!“ The Fw 200A "Jutlandia" in service with DDL
Coincidences, especially chance encounters, are a popular literary topos to start great stories. The already legendary story of the Fw 200 Condor can also boast such an incident: in March 1936, Dr Kurt Tank, who had recently become head of [...]
