1/35th scale German HANOMAG

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on March 10, 2025 · in Armor · 8 ≡

Here is an oldie but a goody of a kit, the 1/35th scale German HANOMAG kit by Tamiya from 1973. Last time I built this kit was probably around 1978, brought back a lot of memories from my early model building days. Easy build with crappy [...]

2024 Recap Video: The Legacy of WWII Japanese Aircraft

by Alex Hu on December 17, 2024 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

(link) One of this year's highlights was dedicating a significant portion of my work to WWII Japanese bombers and fighters—subjects I had previously avoided. However, I was captivated by their fuselage's weathered exteriors and textured [...]

1/72 Me-410 Hornisse, Frog F178

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

One of those planes that looked like a winner and didn’t quite pan out that way, I always considered the Me-410 looked like a mean machine. It did do considerable damage once the Me-210/410 design was finalized, but the history books do [...]

1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco, VINTAGE Revell H-648

by George Schembri on December 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Another inspiration while reading R.S.Tucks biography, 'Fly for your Life', I did not know that the Regia Aeronautica sent aircraft to participate in the Battle of Britain. One learned fact the book does report was that the Fiat C.R.42 [...]

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. [...]
