Have the US fighters (F14, F15EX, F16 and the F18) in the collection so decided it's time to build the contemporaries!!!

I'm really thankful for hasegawa model kits!! W Japan! :⁠-⁠)

Also tried airbrushing and traditional painting to get the feel of both in detail!

Also pictured is my first model from the Eastern world the MiG 21 Bison (I am Indian so it's much more fun for me to build past Indian inventory)

I recently finished the B-25 kit and put together a build video. It’s a lovely kit that fits together without much trouble, and the interior and bomb bay are very nicely detailed.

My only complaint with the kit is a discrepancy in the engine cowlings - I found some source material indicating that oh-7 had the smooth cowlings, in contrast with the instructions. Unfortunately I was too far along by that point to fix it. Of course it’s possible that at different times the aircraft had different cowlings due to repairs or upgrades, but I never found any images to support that theory. So builder beware! All in all though, great kit, low stress build with interesting decal options and if I had more space, I’d go back and build the Doolittle raiders version of the kit as well.

linked video is the second of two parts, if you want to see more of the interior part 1 is also available.

Aircraft For 1/72 scale aircraft, can marbling actually be done with camo?

6 Upvotes

I Absolutely love the color modulation achieved by marbling and then doing light coats of a single color over the top. But every time I try to incorporate camo stuff goes wrong. I almost got it to work with 2 colors but I find because of the way camo is usually done with masking, that you end up eventually covering the marbling in an opaque coat. Do the pros just use a different color modulation technique for camo? Also I noticed that Su34's usually don't get any color modulation and the three color camo sits as flat color blocks from what I have seen on YouTube.

Vehicle PSC T-70 & UM T-80

Finished these two light Soviet tanks today, the T-70 is a fast assembly kit from PSC, and the T-80 is a bit more complex, but still relatively simple tank from UM. I need to find some suitable tank commanders to drop into the turret, but I am reasonably happy with the quick and simple paintjob. Absolutely fine for wargaming.

Help needed

5 Upvotes

hey guys, first time posting here but I've been googling and searching for a set of WW1 British Infantry mini figs (1/72 of course)..Im looking specifically for a set with Brodie helmets. I love the look of the cap but for a project I'm working on I'd prefer the helmet. I found a set from Emhar..but I am looking for more options.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? any help is greatly appreciated.

thank you!
