Recently came across a couple of YouTube videos detailing the return to service, albeit temporarily, of the OV-10 Bronco in Iraq for operations against ISIS. The two Broncos were sporting a fairly light green colour scheme which looked not unlike the classic US Marine Corp Field...

:D I'm wondering. Should I pop open the cockpit of my Trumpeter Su-34 build, to put in a scaled down Garmen GPS, (that's been 'duck-taped' to the instrument panel), Like in the real life crashed examples, of Russian Su-34s, in the Ukraine?... :lol:

A cautionary tale if it benefits anyone.

For a number of years now I have used the CA gel glue on models, for the most part with satisfaction. With styrene and metal the gel allows for some wriggle time so that components can be properly lined up. I have used it on past resin...

Hey fellas.

While we do have some 144 scale decals for the old movie`s Tomcats (both Chinese and other garage makers as well as a them being a bonus in a large 1/48 Fightertowndecals sheet) I have not found anything for the new Super Hornets (nor the Iranikorean Tomcats). As we...

Recently picked up this diecast model of a SHIELD Quinjet from the Marvel movies/tv show. Nice little model comes on a flying stand and in a clear display case. No interior detail or moving parts and has molded gear down (you can remove it from the stand for a ground display)....

I think some decals for this would just be wonderful. The USMC's second combat squadron in the Pacific for the F35B.

Found this on HLJ. Never heard of it before but assume it is a Japanese anime of some kind with all female pilots.

In any event the range includes genuine modern aircraft that have been modified to a more fantasy/sf style not unlike some of the earlier Ace Combat game designs....

Does anyone make any 1/144 aftermarket for the Gripen? The fuselage pylons are not included with the Revell kit, and the weapons included are not good at all.

The RB015 anti-ship missile would be great!

Hello,

Are there any retail places in America (like in the Los Angeles area) that sell F-Toys 1/144 planes? I've looked at Ebay but the prices they are asking for are out of this world! :shock:

Following on from a discussion in a different thread, I have just placed an order for a couple of models through Ebay from Manna Toys plus some items from Radjapan.

Manna Toys had contacted me to confirm his flat rate postage works for combined items up to say, 5 models,...

Mentioned in another thread that I have next week off and am taking the oportunity to reorganise (or at least restore some measure of order) to the stash (and get an idea of what is there so I dont keep ordering the same things over and over). But what format to follow? What do...

Just started work on the Miniwings resin OV-10D Bronco which I plan to build as the OV-10D USMC NOGS - Night Obersvation Gunship. OK for scratchbuilding the XM197 gun turret but plan on painting in the grey green black scheme as per the Airfic kit but struggling to find colour...

OK is it just me but does anyone else think that the Scimitar has a number of features that resemble the GR1 Harrier? Put the wing higher as opposed to centre line and it would allow for the Pegasus engine exhausts. The final design would look a lot like a supersonic harrier...

Many years back Scale Models magazine ran a contest to design a next gen fighter. The winner was a weird Wasp Insect design but one of the runner ups was an RAF concept attack jet that was kind of a blend of a tougher Jaguar with Tornado features and was designated a GR.1 Wolf....

OK cant add more than the heading? Does anyone do these in 1/144 particularly in injection/plastic as opposed to resin or vacform?

I always was curious about the odd shape (at least to me) of the fuel tanks in the Revell F/A-18E kit.
I have not been able to find a photograph of this fuel tank on the actual aircraft.

The fuel tanks in the Dragon F/A-18E/F look more correct IMHO when compared to the 1:1...

Recently saw these listed at a wargaming site.

Particularly curious about the figure sets seeing as they have 180 plus figures for a shade under £30.00. The finished models on their website look nearly as good as some 28mm plastic gaming figures that I have seen. The AFVs at 6...

By way of context, a friend of mine was over the other day while I was routing through the stash. I have next week off and decided rather than tidy my work space to reorganise the stash as over the last two years I have sold quite a few 1/72 kits and have room on the shelves to...

Haven't used Evilbay for a few years and since I have changed address a couple of times since then and changed banks, I decided to re-register using all new details rather than muck about updating my old account.

Well, re-registered fine and set up new Paypal account. Placed a...

A little early, but putting this out to see whom is attending the IPMS/USA 2022 Nationals in La Vista (close to Omaha), Nebraska, 21-23 July? Having lived there almost 30 years of my life - and my son is still there - I'm definitely attending. 1/144 models being brought will...
