Vintage RevellFord Pick-Up 1/48

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.

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 [...]

Republic P-47D ThunderboltMonogram 1/48

I've finally completed this kit after a long period of in-process limbo. But first I must briefly explain how this kit came to be on my work bench in the first place. It all started when I purchased a second-hand Hasegawa P-47D, mainly due [...]
