McLaren M23 James Hunt in 1/8 scale

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on November 25, 2024 · in Automotive · 16 ≡

Lordy what a project this was! The big 1/8 scale kit of the McLaren M23 as driven by James Hunt by Entex. I have been building models professionally for about 10 years and by far this was the biggest challenge! HORRIBLE fit issues, [...]

Progress on the 1/8 scale James Hunt McLaren

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on November 4, 2024 · in Automotive · 6 ≡

I don't normally post pics of building progress, but this particular kit has been a complete nightmare. This kit is from 1972 and is by the defunct company Entex, from horrible instructions to terrible fit and everything in between it has [...]

Classic Kit: Lindberg 1/72 Me410

by David Garcia on November 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Well, I finished another classic kit. This the 1/72 Lindberg Me410 which first came out in 1966. Lindberg issued many Luftwaffe kits that no one else did at the time. For this I didn't add missing details since I wanted it mostly out of [...]

1960s HAWK 1/72 Me109G Upgrade

by David Garcia on October 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been busy with my photography but now I'm back to modeling. I decided to finish the Hawk kit that has been sitting on my bench for a while. I have a box full of Me109 kits and bits and used [...]

KP 1/72 Yak-23

by Bob Torres on September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

After finishing my last build (MiG-17PF) I wanted to build another KP kit. I've been eyeing the Yak-23 for a while and decided to give this kit a try. The Yak-23 is an early Soviet jet fighter which flew in the late 40's. This is a very [...]

1/72 Heinkel He 100 (a.k.a. He 113), Lindberg kit 435-39

by George Schembri on August 16, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Crikey! This kit is almost as old as I am! Scalemates shows that the Lindberg Heinkel He 100 Kit 435-39 was first released in 1965. Lindberg put the kit out again several times over the years, Revell also issued the kit in 1984. [...]

Two old Revell box-scale kits

by François Riga on August 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

The vintage Revell B-47 and P6M box-scale kits, assembled as desk models. Simple builds, I only corrected some small shape issues (on the jet nacelles of the B-47) and struggled to make some parts fit. Just to show that old kits, these are [...]

KP 1/72 MiG-17PF

by Bob Torres on August 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

I finally got to complete my first build for 2024, this is KP's old MiG-17PF, kit no.7 released in 1974. This was a semi rough build, fit was not the best, some light flash that needed cleaning. Wings to the fuselage and canopy fit had [...]

1:8 1917 Excelsior Board Track Racer-3D Scratch Build

by Matt Minnichsoffer on July 12, 2024 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Like other manufacturers, Ignatz Schwinn, who acquired Excelsior in 1911, believed racing improved motorcycle engineering through track testing. The visibility of racing success helped sales as well. A machine similar to the one I built [...]

1/12 scale Renault F1 car kit by Tamiya

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on July 10, 2024 · in Automotive · 16 ≡

Well here is another completed build. A Renault in 1/12 scale. Don’t let the packaging fool you, these are vintage Tamiya kits with some pathetic photoetched thrown in. Beware that these kits were manufactured before the computer age and [...]
