PT-217 Twin Kaydet
Here's what happened when I tried to build two Revell PT-17s at the same time. I spent more time sniffing glue than reading instructions and things got a bit confusing...whatever,
As I was thinking about all the thousands of future [...]
Avro Lancaster "Dambuster", Revell (04295) 1/72
As part of the "80th Anniversary of Dambuster Raid - group build!" created by Bernard @lis, I entered with the Revell kit 04295 in 1/72 scale. It was already 10 months ago that I received this kit and it still took two months [...]
Revellogram's 1/48 P-61 Black Widow "Jukin Judy"
The reputation of this kit proceeds itself. I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby, the box art caught my eye. That was when I was still fresh to the hobby, and didn't know how bad this kit was. Fortunately before I attempted it I [...]
Yellow 5 flown by Horst Petzschler.
This is the old Revell 1:48 scale Bf 109 G-10 with wings from Fujimi's 109 series (The more modern issue from the 1990ies). This is my representation of the plane flown by Horst Petzschler.
This is what Horst Petzschler later told about [...]
Revell 1/72 Hawker Hunter P1109A – with FreightDog Conversion.
The Revell FGA.9 goes together really well and with the lovely conversion kit from FreightDog Models this builds up very nicely
Only a modicum of filler was required with only one bit of actual surgery.
This enables a completely ham-fisted [...]
LeMans 2017 - Ford GT
It was time to do something different to pull myself out of a recent modeling funk, so after the Stoof, I pulled this little gem out of the pile. I'm usually an aircraft modeler, but I do like race cars and this one particularly caught my [...]
Heinkel He 177 "Greif": Now and then
The revolutionary German heavy bomber that had two engines driving one propeller shaft received the attention of model makers over the years. In 1967, Airfix came out with an impressive 1/72nd scale that was highly detailed by comparison [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang
In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]
1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle
This kit was built about 5+ years ago in what I would describe as my first serious attempt at building scale aircraft. Up until that time I had mostly been doing 1/350 ships but after I saw an article in Fine Scale Modeler with this kit I [...]
Revell 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Kit #85-5253
A nice little kit with a few problems. Took a little over a month to complete. The cockpit is pretty sparse. The rudder pedals were blobs so I placed Eduard pedals over them. I made harnesses supplied by a company called Kam I Zukuri or [...]
