On This Day…October 30th.

On October 30th, 1938 Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre, New York City, staged a radio adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel 'The War of the Worlds' in an "as live" format that fooled at least some Americans into believing that Martians real[...]

Diecast model aircraft 1/72 WWII

Hi! Some years ago I did a collection of some very nice and very well done military aircraft from WWII, all nations involved included, on 1/72 scale. They do have plastic bases and supports, and some are on fly mode, others as on land (these o[...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 “Wildcat”: My First Build of this kit…

Before Tamiya released their 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat", there was only the old Monogram kit. The Monogram kit was little more than a toy, having folding wings and other "Features" that just made the kit a very inaccurate model of Grumman's stu[...]
