I am trying to convert a 1/72 Walrus into a fictional plane called the Vickers Vandal and it had an Early Napier Lion engine. Sadly there are no 1/72 early model Napier Lion engines except in kits so I am trying to find engines that look alike the early models of the Napier Lion.

A few months ago I moved my whole stash from my closest to the attic. I live in a temperate place which can get fairly hot in the summer and cold in the winter which has led me to question if that was a wise decision in the first place, especially considering decals. I plan on storing these kits...

Hi guys, new to the forum and enjoying it. I have also fairly recently renewed my interest in modeling and have put together a small fleet of 1/72 model airplanes with an emphasis on fighters and 'light' bombers from the crucial early to mid-war period. Say June 1940 - June 1943, but I'm...

Hi all! Had an hard time lately trying to detect "who flew what" about Zero during last year of war. My main reference is quite generic about specific model, always mentioning it only as "Zero". It looks that only few units flew A6M until war's end: 205th Ku 252nd " 302nd " 352nd " 381st "...

Hello again, It's been about a year since I've posted anything. I've had a lot of irons in the fire, but have had a bit time to model. I finished this up in October. I should be able to post an A-10 Warthog in a couple of weeks, if I dont muss it up.
