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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
