Spitfirepalooza Meets Ancient Hawk Kit

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 [...]

1/48 AMT/Round2 Staggerwing G17S

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 [...]

1/48 Monogram P-38L "Pacific Prowler"

by David Butler on August 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I got this Monogram P-38 (1966 issue) super cheap online and couldn't resist the desire to rebuild one of the very first models that I built as a kid. It was a fun nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it took some careful test fitting and [...]

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 [...]

1/48 Monogram P-51D "Detroit Miss"

by David Butler on June 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I bought this kit on the cheap from a popular online auction site. The finished product falls into the "6 footer" category. Stay 6 feet back and it looks like a P-51 Step a little closer and you will see the thick decals, poor [...]

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 [...]
