    1/48 Hasegawa P-40E

    This is the Hasegawa kit that is royal pain in the butt because of how they planned to make various variants and thus cut up the fuselage to accomodate that. Needless to the say the fit is not the greatest. However, the detail is excellent. Here's what I've done so far. I added an Eduard...

    Think I'm gonna jump in with a...........Tomcat?

    Seeing as finally finished up my two fighters (havn't gotten any pictures yet), I suppose I'll jump aboard this group build. I have a 1/48 Revell F-14D that's been sitting on the bottom of the stash for awhile, so I'm gonna pull that out and do it. It'll mainly be a quick build, nothing...

    Pastel Pigments?

    My LHS carries about everything BUT pigment powders. Not wanting to order some stuff online when I may be able to make it myself, I ask this....is there any way I can make pigments with pastel powder? I have plenty of pastel chalk sticks in a wide array of colors and was thinking maybe mixing...

    Other Hobbies?

    While it's obvious we were all drawn to this site because we share the same love for scale modeling, we have other things we like to do other than obsess over seam lines and getting the proper sag on armor tracks, right? I myself am an avid outdoorsman; hunting, fishing, camping, I love it all...

    Pulling out

    Remembering Doolittle

    On April 18th 1942 80 brave men risked their lives to strike back against the Japanese after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Jimmy Doolittle led 16 B-25s off the deck of the USS Hornet in what would be America's first bombing strike against the Japanese. This mission did little damage to Japan...

    Bought my first jet today....

    I got bored and had yet to visit any hobby shops in the area since I've been in college and figured if there was something for the right price I would get it.....I decided I couldn't pass on a 1/48 Revell F/A-18E Super Hornet for $17. I read some good reviews on it and up until today all I had...

    1/48 Tamiya P-47D Razorback

    Like my P-51, this P-47 is being built as part of a group build on another forum. The Mustang is sitting idle cuz I'm still waiting for a package from Ultracast that contains replacement parts I need for it before continuing the painting. So, I got a good start on the Razorback today. This is...

    I just started this for a group build on another forum so I'll post progress here too. This is Tamiya's 1/48 P-51D and I am adding a True Details cockpit, Quickboost exhausts, and Aeromaster decals. I started fitting the TD cockpit yesterday and this is what I got done

    1/48 B-17 Diorama WIP

    This project has been going on awhile but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. First off a brief history.....On April 11, 1944, "Man O War II" (LG-V, #42-38083) was one of 10 B-17s from the 322nd BS, 91st BG dispatched to Gotthen, Germany to attack a Focke-Wulfe aircraft...
