USS Ethan Allen

by Scott Nelson on April 30, 2024 · in Ships

Before seeing Dan Lee’s build of the USS Thresher, I had not heard of MicroMir models. I’ve always had a fondness for modern subs (especially when needing a simple modeling recharge) and Dan’s excellent job compelled me to order a [...]

WIP: Tried the Mr Color Rapid Thinner. Me Like!

by Graeme Street on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I used the Mr color Super silver and Stainless steel on my Mustang with the Mr color 400 thinner. In general I was happy with the results. Although I wanted a tighter silver and less "sparkles". (link) I had read somewhere [...]

1/144 SBD Dauntless (Brengun Models)

by Robert Joseph Cookson on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I seem to have moved away from the larger scales. God knows what I will do with about 45 Wingnut Wings 1/32 kits, but here we are. As my eyesight deteriorates my modelling subjects are shrinking! I thought I'd try a 1/144 subject, so got [...]

P-35 & its relation to te RE 2000

by Steven Corvi on April 29, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This was a nice little build from Special Hobby and it seemed appropriate after the RE 2000. These two airframes share a lot in common Steve

ICM 35451 German Truck KHD S3000 1/35

by Harm on April 29, 2024 · in Automotive · 8 ≡

After reading about the (short) fights at Bridge Eleven during operation Market Garden I decided to build a German Truck. I didn’t manage to find out which German truck entered the bridge at Grave shortly after lieutenant Thompson and [...]

Meng 1/35 Magach 6B Gal

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 29, 2024 · in Armor · 6 ≡

On the outset, Meng's "Magach" (rampage) 6B is a promising kit. A detailed kit of the Israeli adaptation to the M60A1 with enhanced armor to meet increasing threats in the battle field. The fit of parts is very good and the [...]

Trumpeter 1:32 Stuka

by Tony Anderton on April 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Finally finished this Stuka from Trumpeter. I had no issues building this, apart from spending ages painting the engine, only to find its invisible once you add the cowling and I didn't fancy doing "plastic surgery' (I'm not [...]

Tamiya Panther Panzer V Ausf. A in 1/35 scale

by Joel Rogers on April 28, 2024 · in Armor · 4 ≡

I was walking through my local hobby shop a few months ago and saw this on the shelf for $20. I couldn't resist getting such a classic tank for that deal. I figured it was probably an older model that had been created decades ago and had [...]

AMT Turnpiker

by Stephen Booth on April 28, 2024 · in Automotive · 7 ≡

Hey everyone. So, I've always wanted to build this kit, ever since I first saw it. For those of you who are unaware, this is a 1978 issue, that's never been released since. These things can sell for a pretty penny, but I'm about building, [...]

Academy 1/48 T-34B Mentor

by Derek Bowen on April 28, 2024 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is a good kit overall and a quick build. I definitely love the bright colors and markings on this trainer which really stands out from my other models. I scored the joints for the ailerons and flaps and that made a huge difference [...]
