I have been smitten with this little guy for a lllooonggg time. Cooked up a CAD model and 3D printed out a 1/72 scale model and a RC model...the RC model did not work well. Intake sucked and not in a good way! Wing planform contributed to some significant tip stall tendencies that led to the 4...

I was able to aquire this fantastic wind tunnel model / model of the CT41. It has a scale size of 1:10 (the original size was 9,79m / model size is 96cm) My question to all of you (as being much more experienced in this cases) is, if you think it is a real wind tunnel model or "just" a...

I found this photograph on tvd.im, a website that covers militaria and sundries. The entry and caption were for a Curtis SC Seahawk. Obviously, this ain’t it, but what is it? I did a cursory look at Luft’46 didn’t come up with anything that looks like this seaplane. The tail looks like it came...

MAK-10 was made by a russian aviator designer who moved to France. This plane have many designideas influenced by typical typical russian designs of the earlyer times. But had a very unique style anyway. It doesnt have a very wide body, rather a bit thin one vs. the length. That gave some...

Tomy is crowdfunding a 20-pound lighted 1/350-scale die-cast replica of the starship Enterprise, NCC-1701. The goal is to get 5,000 backers at $599 each. That sounds like a lot, but when Quantum Mechanics did some 1/350 lighted ships a decade-ish ago, they were in the area of five or ten grand...

I hope that image is production art for the movie, not a final product. That white spraypaint "aging" looks freakin' low effort.

Hello Just added this model to my collection. I tried to research the design and haven’t come up with an answer. It’s 25” long made out of heavy resin and brass wings. Swing wing, 4-engines, supersonic design traits. Found in Texas. As far as age I’m thinking 60’s, 70’s, or early 80’s

Over many years I have been trying to find images of Bekonscot model village from the 1960s. Unlike today's Bekonscot which is set frozen in the era of Hercule Poirot and offers an escape from the modern world, the 1960s version used to get updated regularly to reflect the exciting world...
