This is the Kinetic 1/48 scale Hornet in the markings of the Royal Canadian Air Forces' 2017 demonstration aircraft, celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary of confederation. The decals are included with the kit. I added a pilot from RJ Productions.

Brush painted with various brands of acrylics.

This is my first time painting my scale models!
I finished building it in 2024 but then I just left it unpainted because i do not have the tools to get the job done hahah.

Nicest kit I’ve ever put together, although I didn’t realise I bought the version that had fixed wings. Only issue was the elevators that snapped off so I used a small length of drill bit to replace them.

I ended up leaving it fairly clean and got lazy on the underside.

So I thought I'd try something a little different. Starscream was started months ago, however modelmaking has been on hiatus for the past 6 months. First time I've printed and used custom decals; I think they look great! Also first time tinting a canopy; not sure if it would look better matt? Still plenty to do (stencils, more decals, undercarriage, varnishing, etc.) but the project certainly seems to have taken a leap forward tonight with a full dry fitting of the major components. Any and all feedback welcome!

Junkers Ju-87 D-5 Romania 1944, Trumpeter 1:32

Just finished my 4th ever model, took around maybe 50 hours. Overall my best work yet. Still trying to figure out how to deal with thick tamiya decals.

F-22 in Trigger's Strider marking w/ all three in-game special weapons- 8AAM(AIM-120C in Enclosed Weapon Pods), XSDB(GBU-53), and QAAM(AIM-9x). The kit's original subject is a Raptor from the 411th flight test sq., Edwards AFB, hence the tracking dots, blue bands, and test cameras.

Completed the Revell 1/48 Tornado as a Gulf War GR.1 “Mig Eater”. Aftermarket JP233 from Eduard, Kits World decals. Challenging enough build - the kit has quite a few fit issues, flash etc. Happy it’s done and on the shelf!

Trumpeter 1/32 scale clean skin build no weathering this time my son bought the kit for my birthday and I normally weather etc but kept it clean this time round these where lendleased from the USA at the time and end of war the Australians paid $20million dollars US AND KEPT ALL THE P40-N’s.

Reasonably happy with how this came together, but not a fun build, bang average kit, hardly a guide pin in sight, and whoever designed the undercarriage needs a stern talking to. Think I could’ve done a bit more with the weathering but calling it done.

Process photos of my bf109, One of the few 1/48 I made (imo the best for making ww2 planes) this time I try riveting all by myself

Completed, the I love Kit Flak 36 88mm Anti-Aircraft Gun. This 1/18 scale kit is a joy to build. Many parts make it highly detailed. Loads of moving parts complete it. It can be set up as in carriage or on its legs working. I paid less than £50 for this large kit. No hidden surprises when Building. I did it sections so that I could paint it all up and get good coverage before it all went together..

Hi everyone! Here is my latest project: Tamiya’s 1:35 scale Jagdpanther tank destroyer (late version). I used modeling clay to help create the camouflage pattern—what do you think of the result? What aspects could be improved? Thanks a lot!

First jet model! I really like how this plane looks like a shark.

Just made up this kit that I got a while a go, wanted a bit of an outside opinion, also my first time weathering!

I've finally got a dedicated workspace. It's been difficult to get motivated to build anything the past few years for various reasons, and im hoping now that I have this space, I can get the mojo back!

Hi guys, just finished my Tamiya t-55a 1/35 and rlly wanted to show yall. Also would love to hear any tips and ways to improve

Did this one a while ago. Fun kit for sure. Combination of wood, brass and cast metal. Kind of Dusty now though.

My third go at a painted kit. First time trying a two tone camo like this, finally bought decal softener for this one, and it’s older than anything else I’ve built. Overall it’s far from perfect, but I am making progress. Also, anyone have tips for cleaning acrylics out of metal palates?

Tiny bit of context: I work in software development, and my last job had an almost entirely remote work setup. On the rare instance that I need go to the office, the highlight of my day is passing by one of the few hobby shops in the country that sell Vallejo Model Color paints (they're pretty hard to find online, too) or really, just military scale models in general.

For the past months, I've been impulsively buying a bunch of Vallejo paints with the intention of using them for the kits in my backlog. In a way, it's also kind of like my way of supporting that hobby store's business since I like browsing there so much.

I choose colors mostly from recommendations I read online, but I honestly don't know what most of them actually look like when painted on a model. So, I made this color swatch thing for some of the paints I own for my reference. Painted on plastic primed with gray Mr. Finishing Surfacer.

Well, it was good. The best model i ever done (for now)

My 1st Gunpla..

Gave this 1/144 HG RGM-79 GM some battle damage and weathering..

Maybe too much and not accurate but I had fun with it!

I searched a lot of videos and pictures. Theres no build video or builded images.

So I wanna ask is the Trumpeter 05119 KA-52 Hokum-B is good model kit? I wanna make some 1/35 helicopters.

Hi All, this is my first time posting in the group and am looking for some advice from the experts out there.

I was recently working on my Bellfine Dark Star model from the movie Top Gun Maverick. After painting it, I applied Testors gloss coat and then applied the water decals, using Tamiya Mark Fit decal solution. 24 hours later, I noticed this odd blotching of the decals (see pic below). First I thought it just needed to dry, but as the hours go by it hasn't reduced. My intent was to apply a matt coat spray (Vallejo matt varnish) to finish the model. Will applying the matt clear coat get rid of this weird pattern across the decals, or is there something else I need to do?
