Il-2 Shturmovic single seater

by Michael Turner on August 23, 2025 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This was started in late 2022 as part of a group build started by John vd Biggelaar (@johnb). I completed a Tamiya Il-2M3, but paused this one just prior to painting due to other projects taking precedence. This is the excellent Zvezda [...]

Academy MiG-21MF Fishbed, 1/48 scale

by Ramon R. Lomeli on January 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello iModeler! This is one of three kits I managed to finish last year. I used a CMK resin cockpit and wheel wells, and finished it in generic USSR colors using the kit decals and Akan paints. Not a bad kit for the price but I think I [...]

BMP-1 in Iraq 1991- in 1:35 – Italeri

by Michel Verschuere on December 28, 2020 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is my crack at Italeri's kit #6520 of the Soviet-era Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) BMP-1. The kit lists by Italeri as from 2014 but the mold is ESCI dating back thirty years, but more on that later... I got this kit at Modellbau [...]

1/72 Modelsvit Beriev Be-12PS

by Gordon Zammit on December 2, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is the Modelsvit Beriev Be-12PS built straight from the box with one of the decal options that come with it. It is not an easy build, as any Modelsvit large plane is. However the subject for me is a very interesting aircraft, that [...]

INTRODUCTION Object 279 Kontin was born out of the Soviet desire for a heavy tank that could indirectly withstand a nuclear blast and fight in a radioactive wasteland as well as cross terrain considered inaccessible for conventional armor [...]

Zvezda 1/72 La-5fn

by Scott Nelson on June 14, 2020 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

My April no-frills build. This one took more than a month as it turned out to be a putty monster. The wing root areas took several applications of putty and sanding to get them to look good. Fortunately, the wings didn’t have a lot of [...]

by Stéphane Bredel on June 2, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Bonjour chers iModelers, Please find my rendition of the MiG-21F-13 from Trumpeter at 1/48 scale. The F-13 is my favorite version of the MiG-21, very sharp. Finish metal has been realized with Vallejo Metal Color paints with an undercoat [...]

I am quite often in Kiev for business trips. For once I stayed longer to visit this amazing open-air museum. Here a lot of pics with some details which could delight Soviet airplanes modelers. If you would need high-resolution pics, just [...]
