J4F-1 Widgeon. Brand new kit from Kovozavody Prostejov 1/72

by capt. R on December 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

(link) As you have noticed, I have recently excelled in projects concerning flying boats. However, until now I have not dared to make a sea surface. This changed with the last project. In fact, completely by accident I found a new product [...]

USS Skipjack

by Scott Nelson on June 30, 2024 · in Ships · 4 ≡

Another 1/350 modern sub from MicroMir. This one is the Skipjack class. If you want or need a simple kit for a change of pace, these are worth considering. I made the base from some wood bits from the local craft store, then painted it [...]

USS Sturgeon by Mikro Mir

by Scott Nelson on May 28, 2024 · in Ships · 8 ≡

Here’s my second 1/350 scale sub from Mikro Mir. This time it’s USS Sturgeon. I attempted to model it as it looked (according to the instructions) on launching. However, the decal for the bunting, as nice as it looked, turned out to be [...]

Bunker Hill TBM-3 Avenger

by Greg Fabian on December 30, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

This is the second of two kits I bought at an old-fashioned hobby shop in Staunton, VA (the first was an Academy SDB-1 Dauntless). If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and looking at their stock. The shop is in downtown [...]

Grumann TBF-1c Avenger 1/72 Hasegawa. Lt. (JG) George Bush Plane, USS San Jacinto.

by capt. R on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Making a model of the plane of the 41st President of the United States has been my dream for a long time. Already in primary school, I built a simple Frog TBF Avenger model. But now it's time for a more professional construction. The [...]

USS Philadelphia (CL-41), Brooklyn class cruiser

by Marcello Rosa on August 10, 2023 · in Ships · 14 ≡

Here, my friends, is my first foray into the brave new world of resin kits. I have a soft spot for the 9 cruisers of the Brooklyn class, which were extremely good looking ships, and of great historical significance. Thus, it is hard to [...]

Yet Another Corsair

by Scott Nelson on May 12, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

First I did “I like jugs.” Then I created “Spitfirepalooza.” Now I’m on the edge of being obsessed with Corsairs and having to create a name for said obsession. Here’s my third Corsair of the year, the Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D. [...]

Trumpeter RA-5C Vigilante

by Bryan W. Bernart on March 29, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Another case of buy the kit, then read the reviews just before building. Oh, my! One of three kits that I didn't think would be available in the future due to their countries of origin, I purchased this and two other "gotta [...]

F4F-4 Wildcat – Cat of the Pacific War

by capt. R on December 23, 2022 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

(link) Today story will be short. The Airfix F4F Wildcat model is quite a popular model available for many years. I wanted to face him. As it turned out, it has a lot of imperfections that can effectively discourage novice modelers. [...]

Eduard F4F-3 Wildcat, 1/48. 'The Navy's First Ace'

by Harvey R. on September 22, 2022 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Following Eduard's amazing 2022 new tooling of the infamous A6M2, I eagerly looked forward to their rendition of the Wildcat and this kit certainly doesn't disappoint. Unsurprisingly the first Wildcat Eduard releases is the F4F-3, [...]
