Let's see your vintage kit builds

by Rob Anderson on April 7, 2023 · in Uncategorized · 10 ≡

Tom's most excellent build of Aurora's Red Knight made me think maybe folks would like to share their vintage kit builds. These have all been seen here before, and are not all my vintage builds. Some are true antique kits, others [...]

1/8 Aurora "Red Knight of Vienna"

by Tom Hering on April 5, 2023 · in Figures · 18 ≡

This model of Medieval jousting armor is Aurora's 1963 reissue of their 1958 kit. The red color is the kit's metallic red plastic. The blue-green is Army Painter's "Wizards Orb." The gold is a 50/50 mix of Testors' Metallic Gold [...]

Republic P-47D “Luckys’ Lady”

by Jay Mitchell on March 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This is a Monogram 1/48 P-47D . The box is dated 1967 and was still shrink wrapped. It’s from the collection of a modeler, Mr Claude Good, that passed away about 1 year ago at age 86. It is my interpretation of Captain Frank [...]

Grumman SA-16A Albatross 1/72

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on January 25, 2023 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

I have always made some effort to build Brazilian theme models, so I have several items in my collection. They usually are hard to build due most of the kits have some differences in comparison to the real thing operated in Brazil, so [...]

Gloster Gladiator 1:72 – a little Matchbox nostalgia

by Gábor Szabó on January 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

I started it about two years ago as a joy model (Matchbox Gloster Gladiator), then it ended up in a box, because the Alclad primer didn't want to bind, I still don't know why. Even after two years it was still a bit tacky (!). I had some [...]

1/8 Aurora "Black Knight of Nurnberg"

by Tom Hering on January 14, 2023 · in Figures · 18 ≡

This is Aurora's 1963 reissue of their 1957 kit. Though molded in black, I sprayed all the armor with Tamiya TS-40 Metallic Black (rattle can). The decoration is Army Painter Pure Red, dabbed on with an 18/0 brush, mostly following the [...]

Fairey FD2 from FROG

by Scott Nelson on January 11, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

This is ancient Frog 1/72 Fairey FD 2. I believe this pop of the kit is older than me! And I’m old! A friend running a vendor table at a local contest added this in for free to the Academy Corsair I was buying from him. A very simple [...]

Matchbox 1/72 Westland Lysander Mk.II, No. PK-7 (1972)

by Bob Torres on January 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

My final Matchbox build from a group build to celebrate Matchbox's 50th anniversary. Added some extra details in the cockpit, did some cutting to add the landing gear lights and rear clear panels. All and all a very nice kit. Most of the [...]

58 year old Hurricane

by Rob Anderson on December 11, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 23 ≡

Those who have seen my posts here know I have a love of vintage Monogram kits, all vintage kits really, but especially Monogram. I always try and get as close to the original release date of a kit as I can find, and afford since the molds [...]
