    A Shelf Queen No More, Hobbycraft P-35 1/48

    AT-6M Texan/Zero

    Hi Guys, I'm not much of a modeller and until recently I have not spent much time at all in the last 20 years making models. When I was a teenager, like the rest of you I suspect, I had model planes all over the place, but my modelling got to a certain level and has been there ever since. I...

    Instruction Manuals?

    This might seem like an odd question, but why don't we have a section about kit instructions? Some of you may recall that I have the Revell Me410B-6/R2 kit (OOB build) and it turns out that the kit is an up-graded 1997 release of Revell's Me410A-1/B-2 kit. In my search, I have found a few...

It also took me back to the first kits I had as a kid and so here we...

    How to improve an old Tamiya 1/48 A6M2 T.21 ?

    I would like to "recycle" my old Tamiya kit in an aircraft "probably" flown by Toshio Ota from Tainan Kokutai, 2nd Chutai during summer 1942. Not a big problem to engrave panel lines on the fuselage, but I think the cockpit is very poorly detailled... I looked for some photo-etched or resin...
