USS San Francisco 1944 (Trumpeter 1/350)

by Boris Rakic on October 21, 2025 · in Ships · 8 ≡

Here is the full build: (link) One of the most decorated US Navy ships of WWII, the USS San Francisco is a fascinating subject for ship modelers. A bit of a shame the only plastic kits on the market are Trumpeter's mediocre efforts from [...]

1/72 scale F-14 Tomcat kit by Academy

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on September 16, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I’m not really a fan of Academy well until I built this F-14, arguably the best 1/72 scale F-14 there is, a contender for best 1/72 scale kit period! Amazing molds, fit, instructions and Cartograph decals. If you haven’t built this, [...]

Son of a Bi… Well, IYKYN

by Scott Nelson on August 30, 2025 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Here’s my Academy 1/72 SB2C-4. A nice kit with good fit and good detail. If I had to do it again, though, I’d have the canopies open. I tried a light gray panel line wash for the first time and I like how it turned out. For fun I also [...]

1/72 scale "Italeri" Sea Dragon

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on August 27, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Here is my 1/72 scale "Italeri" Sea Dragon, don't be fooled it's actually an old Revell kit. Kit has some fit issues but over all it is a fun build. Really cool subject for you helicopter freaks. This one is on it's way to it's [...]

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 [...]
