Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread and helped me with research and suggestions on this post https://www.scalemodeladdict.com/threads/p-47-thunderbolt-research-help.15715/ I have purchased a kit, and some after market. I am ready to get started. I am pinning reference photos here...

I started working on the new Arma Hobby P-39Q. So far it is going together very well. It comes with ball bearings to weight the nose down. It even has little spots to hold them in place. I used CA glue (Bob Smith enterprises medium) to hold them. One popped out this morning. Is there a better...

I am working on an Airfix P-40B. I managed to damage the wheels I want to use. I have contacted Airfix's spares department, but it might take a couple weeks to get anything from them. I have completed most of the painting on the plane, but still need to do some gloss coats and weathering. THE...

$75.99 marked down from $95?! Look I have paid $55 for an Arma Hobby 1:48 kits, but this feels like an escalation. That is a lot of money for this scale. https://spruebrothers.com/clpcp48024-1-48-clear-prop-models-f-86a-sabre/

New release from Airfix. I have built an earlier version of this as a USA P-40B Warhawk. I think I will do the Turkish markings. I am doing this one straight out of the box. I had a frustrating time with an Eduard Kit recently and thought I would a “mojo” build.

I am fairly new (started in 2020) to scale modeling, and even newer to airbrush techniques. but I have never seen presiding like this. He uses fluorescent colors under the panel lines. I am having trouble seeing how much impact it has from the video. Has anyone else had success with this?

Hello, I have not been too rigorous about doing research and finding reference photos, mostly content to use reference information from the kit manufacturer. I suspect I might be in the minority in that way :-). So, I was chatting with my sister's partner, and she said she had a relative that...

I have ordered paint masks several times in order to paint insignia like roundels multiple times, and it has been a great experience. I just tried making my own, and the results were not great. I borrowed a scanner and a Silhouette Cameo from a buddy, and bought some masking sheets from Ammo by...

Hello! I have been trying out the new ATOM paints from Ammo by Mig. I like them, but could not find a color reference for them. so I emailed the and they sent me the chart for retail display.

I am converting this Tamiya Me 262 to wheels up. Finished sanding and priming. I did a rush job on the cock pit and pilot, but I am not into cockpits right now. I am going to try the new AMMO by Mig ATOM paints. The primer is AMMO One Shot.

I am feeling like new Sci-Fi model kits are a little slim this year. I am waiting on Round 2 to announce some new Star War or Star Trek kits, maybe because there are no big franchise releases? Lots of good vintage re-releases. Did I miss any announcements?

Picked this up at my local hobby shop (The Model Cave in Ypsilanti MI). Some of the nicest texture and detail I have ever seen in a kit. Very excited to get started. But I can't figure out what the knobs around the ejector pin marks are for.

If you have not seen Godzilla Minus one, I recommend it. It also does a better job than most movies of having historically accurate planes and ships. Pretty cool. Here are a couple of write ups https://www.historynet.com/godzilla-vs-shinden/

One of the YouTubers I like is crazy about Clear Prop models. I thought I would give one of their models a whirl, and I liked the bare metal finish on this Curtiss Hawk H-75. So why not? My goal this year is to finish more models. I feel I am getting better, but need to work more kits beginning...

But no promises... I used Kits World 3D decals in the cockpit. They were to very good. I have been happy with Quinta Studios and Red Fox, but these are faded and flat. .

Another back to basics kit. I feel a bit calmer this time. I primed it with grey, and then was worried the blue would be two bright. so I took an old sprue, and primed the left side grey, and the right side black. Then U painted the main blue color on the whole thing, and added a dot of the...

What to do with old built kits? I don't want to assume anything about folks her, but is it true that most people keep and display their models? I am not interested in doing that very often. I will keep a couple around. But honestly, I find it a burden to kep the whole bunch. I hate to throw...

After trying to rush through a few kits, and abandoning them I decided to try a simpler kit. This Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire did the trick. I did get some Quinta Studios 3D cockpit decals, but other than that I am going to do it out of the box. Primer time! Stynyl Rez from Badger

I like this kit so far. One of my first jets. Working on the cockpit with the help of some Quinta Studios 3D decals. The sprues go up to "Z", but there are a lot of tiny ones. The fit is really good. I decided to make it wheels up, and was able to use the landing gear doors that came with the...

Hey all. I can no longer post photos. I get an "Opps Image is too big" error every time. Even if I export the image as less than 1mb in size. Any advice?
