Matchbox 1/72 Douglas A-20G Havoc (Green Hornet)

by Bob Torres on December 10, 2022 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Another build from the Matchbox Group Build to celebrate Matchbox's 50th Anniversary to when they first released plastic model kits. This may not be the best A-20 out there but I feel for its time, Matchbox did a nice job on providing the [...]

1/72 DH.98 Mosquito Matchbox PK-116

by George Schembri on November 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I finally found time to complete a build that’s been hanging around a while. It seems that I’m busier being fully retired compared to when I was working. I built this as a birthday gift for my brother and it will be a display on his [...]

Completed in 2013. This is the 2011 Monogram reissue of Aurora's "Gold Knight of Nice," first released in 1959. I added the base. The armor is hand brushed with a 50/50 mix of Testors Metallic Gold and Metallic Copper, and the [...]

This Spitfire was built for a Matchbox Group Build that is still currently going on to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Matchbox to when they first started releasing their injected mold kits in 1972. In regards to this group build, I [...]

1/8 Aurora "Blue Knight of Milan"

by Tom Hering on October 30, 2022 · in Figures · 12 ≡

Completed in 2022. This is a bagged kit of the Blue Knight, first released in 1957. The nameplate on the base said "Sir Galahad," so it was part of the 1967 "Camelot" reissues. Fortunately, I was able to get a pre-1967 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
