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 [...]

1/8th scale Norton GP Bike vintage kit from 1970 by Protar

by Rick Schad "The Pope of Plastic" on July 7, 2024 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Well, this is a terrible kit with even worse instructions. Somehow I managed to get it together, I’m actually shocked it’s built. My 29th customer build of the year. I did this to look as if it was found in a barn, so I could hide [...]

1/72 Airfix Pe-2

by Brian Riedel on July 2, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Nothing special, just an old build of Airfix’s 1/72 Pe-2. Brush painted, kit decals, a little scratchbuilding in the cockpiit and turret. Brian Riedel

Revell Douglas P-70 Night Fighter

by Eduardo Augusto Rodrigues Conci on June 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Hello modeler friends, continuing my task to find and assemble the old kits that my father and I assembled in the past, (the first one I assembled was the Nakagima Gekko that I posted some time ago) the time has come for this Douglas P-70. [...]

de Havilland Heron II by Airfix in 72nd Scale

by John W Summerford on May 27, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The DH.114 Heron was developed as a follow-on to the popular DH.104 Dove. It was designed to be used in less developed regions as a more rugged four-engine upgrade. As well as switching to four-engine, the Heron also had increased wingspan [...]

Glencoe 1/32 XV-1 Convertiplane

by Spiros Pendedekas on April 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 44 ≡

The origins of the unconventional XV-1 can be traced back in the early 50s, when aviation designers tried to figure out ways to increase the contemporary helicopters’ airspeeds. By that time, the Air Force collaborated with the Army, in [...]

Rivets? I'll give you rivets.

by David Odenwald on February 25, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

So found a local bargain place with some model kits. So snagged the Atlantis repop of the box scale B-26 Invader. Talk about Brooklyn Bridge scale rivets. We got it so good nowadays. What amazed me was the framing in the clear parts were [...]

1/24 Monogram "Orange Hauler"

by Tom Hering on October 26, 2023 · in Automotive · 14 ≡

Monogram's 1990 reissue of their 1966 kit. A straight-out-of-the-box build. I kept it simple, which made this project a pleasure from start to finish. The first car model I've built since I was a kid in the 1960s. One of my favorites back [...]
