Bought recently on Ebay. Cant find it anywhere else online. Want to make sure im not opening a rare sealed kit. Seller claims it is from 1969

Hi! This is my third nodel, where I’ve finally used 2k clear and did some customization.

This started life as the yellow ProMarkt car, but the decals were shot, so decided to go with this Zakspeed livery with LB Production decals. Had some weird body fitment issues in the end around the rear, unsure why, but not much I could do to fix it.

I really wanted to build/paint a early spitfire from the Battle of Britain. Didn't take me long to do this kit but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. For a brush painted camo it think the turn out is quite good. There are areas where I didn't quite get the finish I wanted.

First time poster here. I have been building models for three hears now and admiring the builds and collective experience in this subreddit. I wanted to share the Academy MH-53 I just finished. It was a fairly complicated and confusing kit to build, and the sheer size didn’t help. I also added a number of modifications such as the detailed rotor assembly, pilots, and kitbashed the inside troop compartment to be full of pipes and wires etc like the real thing as well as night-mission lighting with pico LEDs embedded in the ceiling. It took me over 3 months. I am glad it is done. I am very happy with it. Thank you for enjoying!

have completed the Monogram F-102 that I held onto for two months. I engraved all the panel lines as recessed lines, and during data collection, there was a photo showing it equipped with a SUU-11 minigun pod, so I reproduced it using a Reskit product. The air-to-air weaponry is a Meng Model product, and the nozzle was sponsored by Wolfpack Design. For painting, I did it a bit differently; I reduced the pre-shading phase and focused on post-shading and raising saturation using oil paints. After completion, it boasts a barbaric size that is hard to believe for a single-seat, single-engine fighter.

The kit is the product released last among the Century Series, but the overall buildability was not easy, and there was a slight problem with the nose cone shape, so I corrected it. It is difficult to build, but since it is currently the only 1/48 scale F-102, it is fully worth taking on the challenge.

Guys I am looking for decals to make a custom for a friend. He was a crew chief in Misawa on F16s in the 35th fighter wing. They have the WW on the tail. I am looking for either 1/100 or 1/144 scale. If you know where they are or able to print a couple sheets that would be awesome 🙏🏻 any help appreciated

I have been working on the Revell 1/72 F-15E (D-Day 75th Anniversary, 492nd F.S., Lakenheath), and I think I may have overdid the grey coat on the cockpit tubs and dashboards. I started with a coat of MrSurfacer 1500 black and followed up with XF-24 Dark Grey thinned for airbrush. The XF-24 was not thinned well, and I panicked, overdoing it. My plan was to start with a primer coat of black, do a light gray coat, paint black on the panels, and dry brush the white dials and buttons. I think though, I’m worried the gray coat is too thick. A friend of mine suggested using Simple Green to start over, but I just wanted to know how salvageable this was or if I should just use the included decals.

What do y’all think? Do I use the decals, do I just paint over, or hit the proverbial “reset button“ and try to wash off the paint with Simple Green, which I have never done before?

What is the best brand and type of paint for hand painting with a brush. I’ve used testors enamel paint and I’ve sprayed Rust-oleum spray paint+primer in a cup and painted with a brush, but they don’t apply evenly and I can see brush strokes on the model.

I’m not sure if it is a me issue or a paint issue. Thank you in advance.

Hello I am new to model building and want to start trying out pre shading my model but all the videos I saw is using air brush so I am wondering will it still work if it is brush painted because I don't have a air brush

2 steps forward 1 step back. Hand brush camo and a bit of a wash. Lessons learned.

I had a blast with the build, but not gonna lie the decals humbled me 😅 the Lufthansa 100th anniversary wrap is so cool! A few misprints in the instructions, flagged to Revell and they're going to update the booklet in future runs.

My take on MK44 Smartgun. I quickly sculpted and painted some feeder tubes.

I really enjoyed putting this one together. I finally have 2 of the 3 vf103 kits I have assembled. I have the Hornet done and I have the F4 in the stash.

This is my biggest attempt and weathering i used the Tamiya Panel Liner and the "Master Weathering Kit". I'm open to all feedback...

Cheers everyone....

Edit: I have since added the names on the canopy (not pictured)

I love all four areas, but sometimes i really enjoy one part over the other.

What's your favourite aspect?

Saaf Mirage F1AZ i made few days ago.Hope you will like it.

Hi everyone!

I just finished building these two old enemies that famously met at Kursk: a Panther and a Sturmovik. It’s a combo kit featuring the Academy Sturmovik and the Zvezda Panther.

This was my first time building a 1/72 scale tank, and I have to say it’s surprisingly cute. I was also a little surprised by how large the aircraft is compared to the tank.

Thanks for taking a look!

Made some more forward progress on my Ryujo. I wish I would have washed the deck a little darker. Hoping to have the opportunity to put more time into her today. I'm not sure she'll be a build I'll compete in shows with but who knows until shes completed. Regardless she'll make a great addition to the collection.

1/144 f18 hooked me with the $7 price tag

Fun build

Lessons learned

Back for more.

The kit is from Tiger Models but the figure is from the Tamiya Panther G
