Polar Lights Seaview Submarine (1/350 scale)

by Bob Torres on October 13, 2022 · in Sci-fi · 16 ≡

The theme for this month's club meeting was Sci-Fi and I decided to do something that I once made when I was 9, the Seaview from the movie and series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." I have two Seaviews in my stash, one from [...]

by Scott Nelson on October 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here’s the other half (I posted the Bf- 109 earlier) of the duo kit from Round 2 ne Lindbergh ne Hawk Models repop of the Spitfire Mk. 22. Lots of rivets, no landing gear or cockpit detail and lots of memories of my uncle and I making [...]

Airfix 1/72 Halifax B.III

by Spiros Pendedekas on October 12, 2022 · in Aviation · 47 ≡

The Handley Page Halifax was a four-engine heavy bomber, developed under the same specification as the contemporary twin-engine Avro Manchester. Its origins can be traced in the twin-engine HP56 proposal of the late 1930s, itself being a [...]

Two Old 1/72 Model Kits of the Grumman Wildcats (Revell and Frog)

by Bob Torres on September 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

A couple of months ago I started work on these two kits, Revell's and Frog's F4F-4 Wildcats. I wanted to build them together like the way I did with my Bearcats back in March and enjoy the whole process. My original game plan was to build [...]

by Eric Berg on August 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

The Beechcraft model G17S was the last of the Staggerwing series and approximately 20 of these were built between 1946 -1948. Staggerwings are considered one of the world’s most beautiful vintage planes. A grand total of 781 of various [...]

Lindberg kit, USS Nautilus (SSN-571)

by Emmet Molloy on August 14, 2022 · in Ships · 6 ≡

This kit was first introduced in the early 1950’s and is still apparently in the same mold configuration. I had recently ordered it through Amazon and the two hull sides came a bit warped but some rubber bands helped to hold the sides [...]

Rare as hens teeth, classic plastic Monogram's Sand Crab is built!!!

by Rob Anderson on July 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 22 ≡

Monogram's Sand Crab was a Tom Daniel design that only saw one release in 1969, after that the molds were modified to make another kit Lil' Van. I had one as a kid, and started searching for one I could afford for about 10 years. Until [...]

Mustang IV (and a nod to Matchbox c.1974)

by IAN JACKSON on June 28, 2022 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Been determined to build 'Dooleybird' for years simply because of 'that' box art from 1974. Had the MA sheet in the stash since the early 2000's and even had a set of resin 'gills' to fit the Hasegawa kit. BUT WAIT, Airfix announced they'd [...]

Classic Kit: Airfix #387 1/72 Junkers Ju 88 A-4 Tweaked Just A Bit

by David Garcia on April 8, 2022 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is original Airfix 1/72 Ju88 molded in light blue plastic. Since I've built the Revell 1960s version I decided to give this kit a go. First off the clear parts are not. They are thick, scratched and difficult to mask. That left me [...]

Classic Kit: FROG 1/72 Ta-152H Tweaked

by David Garcia on February 19, 2022 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I first heard about the Ta-152 in the popular magazine "1001 Modeling Ideas" around 1972 in an article on how to build one using parts from various Lindberg kits. The article showed by using the Lindberg FW190D how to begin. The [...]
