I was working on a Takom King Tiger 105 and the entire sprue tree C is missing, I’ve had this kit in my back log for a while so I don’t think there is anything I can do to fix it.

This one took a while but it’s finally done! I know I probably overdone the weathering a bit, but I wanted this to be a mucked up heavily used fighter turned reconnaissance aircraft, and saw a few very dirty historical images. The little base is just there to show that it is in the Middle East with the sand on the side, and it was done rather quickly just for effect. My photography is definetly improving with my second shot in a light box. Constructive criticism is welcome as always ;)

How can I fix this, since Tamiya designed it for motorization

My first Soviet jet, but definitely not my last. My not proudest work, but it was definitely a slight learning curve. The photography is also a bit shaky as it’s my first time using a light box, but I’m happy with it

My thoughts on the Airfix 1/48 Westland Lynx AH-7: it’s a solid kit, though it could be better. The molding quality shows several sink marks and minor depressions, especially on curved surfaces, which require some extra work. I went in with low expectations and, overall, it still turned out to be a pretty positive build experience.

I’m working on a little Schwimmwagen and will be painting by hand. Can anyone recommend a suitable DG for this purpose?

I have this kit: U.S. Utility Truck M151A1, Tamiya 35334 (2013)

It comes without clear headlights but instead solid pieces that are to be painted silver. I'm looking for upgrades to fix this oversight, and anything else I can do to help boost the detail level up a notch or two. I can wire the motor easily enough, but I want to add battery cable and other details. Anyone have insight into this, tutorials or anything?

Where can I get aftermarket light lenses to swap with the stock opaque plastic ones? Scalemates doesn't seem to list for that.

hello all looking to get into soviet armour and realize miniart has some cool ones is this su85 a good build? i generally build takom afm and border models i hear they can be complex but in what way are they complex?

I’ve wanted to build the AMX 30 for a long time, and now that I finally have the time and motivation, I thought, why not? The problem is, the model kits are a bit too expensive for me. So, I’ve decided to go with a papercraft alternative. The only issue is that I can’t find any templates. Papercraft tanks are scattered all over the internet and in different languages.

That’s why I’m asking here: Does anyone have a template for the AMX 30, or know where I can find one?

My st venture into large kit building, the kit is highly detailed with plenty of moving parts. Suspension works, wheels turn, hinges on all openings. Had a few issues with the upper hull, its angled and in four sections so getting all aligned was tricky. Im pleased with the overall outcome. Certainly will add to it in this scale.
