1/16 Minicraft Jaguar SS100 1938

by Clarence Novak on December 12, 2021 · in Automotive · 2 ≡

1/16 Minicraft Jaguar SS100 1938 For some alleged personal sins I build (or try to build) vintage kits? I just put some effort into improving them a bit without the time required to re engineer the old tech. Of course the wire wheels are [...]

Airfix 1/72 Lysander Mk. III (SD), Burma

by Greg Kittinger on November 5, 2021 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I saw a couple of images of the Lysander in this Burma scheme, found decals for it, and boom! - project on! I had this old bagged Airfix kit in the stash, and with the ribbing and rivets already there, it had a surprisingly good exterior [...]

Blast From the Past: Atlantis (Revell) F11F-1

by George R Blair Jr on November 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This is a "new" kit from Atlantis, which is actually the 1956 Revell 1/54 model of the "short-nose" F11F-1 Tiger used by the Blue Angels in the 1950s. Atlantis has been re-releasing old Revell kits for a while, at [...]

Vintage Revell – Ford Pick-Up 1/48

by Roberto Lúcio - Bob on October 27, 2021 · in Automotive · 10 ≡

Resume from kit instruction sheet: One of the most utilitarian commercial vehicles in use in the 1950s in the USA, the Ford Pick-Up represented a combination of passenger car styling and functional industrial design. Used by countless [...]

1/35 Scots Greys M3 Grant.

by John Healy on October 14, 2021 · in Armor · 16 ≡

I enjoyed the Stuart so much that I knocked out another old Tamiya tank kit that lurked in the stash for decades. This one is the 1974 vintage M3 Grant. Not a bad model for 1974. One thing the kit lacks are rails above the sand [...]

Junkers Ju.88 A-4

by Michael Smith on September 20, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This build is of a 1967 boxing of the 1964 Frog kit, alas, without the “F 20 Spin-a-prop motorizing kit!” I had read in numerous Detail & Scale books about Frog kits, but had never built one, as such. So when I saw this one for [...]

Gotha Go 244 in 1/72 scale – Italeri 1974

by Doug Thost on September 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Having just made a tentative return to the modelling world, thanks to COVID-19 lockdown, it was with some trepidation that I embarked on this build! When I was modelling back in the 1970's I was probably just OK for a teenager, but looking [...]

1970’s survivor

by Jay Mitchell on September 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This Monogram F-100D Super Saber is my oldest model airplane . I built it when it first came out in the late 1970s when I was in high school in Monument, Colorado. My Badger Wren airbrush was used to paint it with Polly S paints . I’m [...]

Afrika Korps 88mm Gun and Tractor

by Michael Smith on September 6, 2021 · in Armor · 5 ≡

I’ve always wanted to build a 88mm on its wheels, and was glad to see this in my preferred scale of 1/72 (1/76 is close enough) for $7.99 at an Austin hobby store a couple of weeks ago. I painted the completed assemblies Panzer Grey to [...]
