Next up 1975 1/32 scale Revell F-4E with literally zero detail.....looking to bring in some 3D decals, kinda pricy though at $40. Looks like sanding off seat harness/belt detail and adding new ones, maybe seat EJ handles. Might paint the pilots but they are not....well just not. I owned this...

Yesterday's birthday haul.....the 1/144nd Academy Memphis Belle 4 and a new work stand. This after her telling me you ain't getting any more models. Truth is she doesn't have to work hard to get me the perfect B-day present

So, working on my present project I'm laying down decals, AND looking through my spare decals I found some warning decals for this or that from an old Vigilante kit and I decided to put them on the F-14. Purists might disagree but man they are looking cool.....what say the masses?

One of these kits have my name on it....sadly my buying out paces my building but the local hobby shop trip tomorrow Taking suggestions

I prefer to display aircraft on the ground, wheels down and canopy open but often wonder what to use to affix the canopy in the down position temporarily on the aircraft to paint fuselage and canopy frame? Any suggestions? I found a removable adhesive gel or dots that could work but with my...

Alright, as a rookie I've done this twice now. Model in question is the terrible F-14A from Revell. Brother asked me to build one for him. Using Mission models white primer and Vallejo model air paints. First time I thought I didn't wait long enough for masking but 14ish hours later using what I...

Anyone built the Iron Maiden Spitfire yet, I have watched some reviews and I have b-day coming up and looking for ideas to give the fam. Thanks

Anyone knows of an exact replica model kit of John's 1969 Mustang. I have the Chevelle kit. I found a 1/25 scale resin John Wick figure looking to make up a little display. Thanks

Looking at real aircraft I see a reinforced glass plate sometimes different colors from the rest of the canopy. I have a model air transparent blue to recreate that effect, would you shoot that on the underside so it shows through or would spray on the outside for the effect?

Hello all, Wanted to share one of my holy grails, I bought this assembled model when I was eight years old for five bucks from a fourteen year old hanging from his ceiling. He had about five models I bought that day, each time running back to my house to ask for more money from mom and...

Hello all, Happy new year. Over the holidays I picked up a T-Bird F-4E, F-16 and an Angel's A-4 Skyhawk, all 1/72nd scale....Those birds are very well maintained, should I go with straight out of the spraying booth and decals right to display or is there some weathering someone can do?

Anyone build the Revell 1/48 Top Gun Tomcat recently? It uses the older Monogram and Revell kit molds (in my stash), but man... the newer level 4 Revell kit is VERY rough, lots of flash and just not clean.

Has anyone experimented with pilot helmet decals or only mired in painting them.....kinda rough first attempt at Goose

So, pretty excited by my builds after 43 years, feel free to critique any easy changes that would improve the results. Could only post 10 images so here are additionals

So, new around here....I picked back up the hobby after 43 years, needed some stress reduction and added stress of a different type I guess. My wife bought me a Harbor Freight compressor and airbrush. I have picked up a couple of vintage holy grail kits I built as a kid. Current completed kits...

New to the site, picked back up the hobby after throwing it away at 12 in favor of chasing girls and since I have my gal now for the last 30 years I thought I might pick the hobby back up. I'm almost finished with the Monogram Century series F-106 and went white wheel wells versus the Chromium...
