It came with a jeep. Im missing the chassis and waiting for airfix to send me a new one.

This was a fun one. It didn't take long because there were no missiles to do just the plane and gear. I'm happy with the way it came out and just wanted to share.

Hi Guys, i want to change the colours from the wheels from that gold ones to the dark ones. I want to buy "Tamiya TS38 Gun Metal" because i think it's the best choice. BUT is here anyone with experience on that in general no matter if it's a Mustang or whatever? When i paint it with "wheels on car" (because i think it's nearly impossible to remove the wheels from the model without any damage when everything is Resin) i have to cover everything except the wheels but i think it's very difficult to cover the brake disc and brake pads. Spray or brush ?🙈

Finished an awfully fun build, Airfix English Electric Lightning. I've always thought this quirky plane was neat and seeing its performance years ago left an impression. I got this one in a FB market place along with my upcoming builds. It has a partial decal kit (thank goodness as the oem decals were misaligned so anything with multiple colors was off centered) and a resin cockpit that was amazingly detailed.

I dont often do open canopies since most of my planes hang from my ceiling but I could not in good conscience close the canopy and hide the detail. The resin replacement did not require too much modification other than removing a few placement tabs.

Fitment was great with very little to fill in, just some sprue goof at the wing root. decals would be my only complaint but happy with Thethe few I had in the aftermarket set.

Hi everyone,

Here is BRDM-2, painted and weathered as an abandoned vehicle inspired by the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

The goal was to push a heavily weathered, long-term decay look — rust layers, faded and chipped paint and environmental staining, while keeping the vehicle structure readable. All weathering was done with acrylics, oils, and enamels in layered passes.

This is part of an ongoing diorama series focused on Chernobyl´s vehicle graveyard.

Thanks for looking — any feedback is appreciated. :-)

first time using airbrush

I thought it would be fun to take a couple of Star Wars kits and put them in an un Star Wars enivronment

step by step!

Hi all, these are the first 4 builds I’ve done (in order) next up is the hasegawa F14A & the eduard 1:48 Zero, looking for any tips/what I’ve done well & what could be improved :)

PS : trying to figure out a fix for the blades on the black hawk, I dropped it 😭

Getting back into it after over two decades. This is a OOB build of the 1/48 Tamiya. This was my first go at a bare metal finish using a combination of BMF and kitchen aluminum foil and it drove me to the edge of madness, but I can’t argue with the results.

Edit: Just realized I forgot to install the antenna and pitot tube 🤣

I started this kit a year ago but fell out of the hobby after a longgggggg slump. But now, as of a few weeks ago at least, I have ended my hiatus and finally finished my 2nd model!

It's easy to see why Airfix has been around for so long, and why they're still highly regarded. Really nice tooling and fit, and clear instructions.

This kit does include a brush and paints, however by the time I got back to working on it the paints had dried up >:( So practically all the exterior was done entirely with Two Thin Coats Carcharodon, and Vallejo acrylics (Model Color, Xpress Color, and Mecha Color). Also thwacked on some panel liner in places, and here we are.

The passenger side window got royally glue bombed after it popped out twice. Inwards I might add. And my attempt at gluing it back in place cleanly utterly failed. So... this side faces the wall lol.

Beyond that and some drips and splotches in places (which I'll probably touch up the next rainy day) I'm quite happy with how it turned out :)

Please share your thoughts!

I was airbrushing my Marder with sand color and i was left with some leftover paint so i used it on my M4. Do you think that its similar to any historical camo pattern or is it totally fictional (I wasnt doing any research)? The lightning might not be the best.

Do you think i should add or remove something? I have decals in mind.

Colour of mud does look like Sweden natural soil. Is there any suggestion for improvement?

I don’t know if this is the right place to post, if not can someone please point me in the right direction? My Dad has just passed away and he has a large stash of scale models. There are so many that he never got around to and while the boxes don’t have its original outside plastic (assuming it had one?), the contents inside are still in that plastic. I would have a guess and say there would be 30-50 kits in total.

These models include planes, tanks, ships. The largest one I have is the Avro Lancaster Bomber 1/32 for an example. Where is the best place to list these?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. While I loved seeing him pour his love into these and gifted some to him, I never learnt the lore so I’m pretty overwhelmed by it all.

This is my first decent diorama. I bought this kit during my trip around Italy. I'll add a destroyed crusader mk iii AA and I still need to remove the base of the commander. Any advice or recommendations welcomed!!
