Revell's 2007 Bismarck / Tirpitz tool error?
While I was looking at the 2007 Revell Bismarck/Tirpitz, I couldn't help but notice that the Bismarck kit is 1mm longer than the Tirpitz (71,8mm and 71,7mm, respectively). Most online sources state that the Tirpitz was in fact a few meters longer than the Bismarck (250.5m vs 253.6m according to...- BlackMamba

Josef "Pips" Priller's Messerschmitt Bf109E 1/24,
Here is my Bf109E, flown by german WWII ace Josef "Pips" Priller, G51 during the autumn in 1940. I've had this kit laying around and collecting dust for ages, so I finally decided to give it a go. I had to pick apart the cockpit and sand it down after my lousy attempt at hand painting it nearly...- BlackMamba

AMK MiG-31BS "Blue 16" (1/48)
This is my MiG-31B/BS built as BS "Blue 16" from AMK. It is an excellent kit (a fact I believe has been stated more than once), and I really did enjoy building it - especially with the KittyHawk MiG-25 fresh in mind. This kit ALMOST built itself. Still, I managed to do a few screwups. For those...- BlackMamba

Douglas C-47A/DC-3 "OO-SBH", Libya
Long story short, my step father was sort of a "bush pilot" some twenty years ago before he eventually got into flying jetliners. He was in Libya from 1989 to 1991, and "stumbled" across a crashed DC-3 in the desert. About 15 years ago, he showed me some pictures he took from the crash site. A...- BlackMamba

Trumpeter 1/48 Su-11 Fishpot "Red 14" (The flying stovepipe)
So I'm finally done with my 1/48 Su-11 Fishpot from Trumpeter. The kit went together fairly well without any major problems. The only real issue was the poor fitment of the cockpit tub inside the fuselage. The tub seems a tad too wide, which in turn causes a gap between the two fuselage halves...- BlackMamba

KittyHawk MiG-25 PD/PDS Foxbat 1/48 - "Red 31"
This is my first kit as a "grown up", and my first step back into the hobby after about 15 years. I've had quite a few kits during my childhood, but the only thing that mattered at that point was to assemble them as quick as possible... :rolleyes: This is the KittyHawk MiG-25 PD/PDS, slightly...- BlackMamba
