OK. Plenty of experiance in just about everything but highlighting the tire white on 1/24 scale cars. I have done a few cars in my lifetime but never have looked into the tires. I have a very nice resin kit of my pickup and would like to see it sitting on the shelf with clean, sharp lettering on the tires. The tires have nice, slightly raised, lettering on them. What is the best way to pick out those white letters? Also, while I am here, what is the best color for the rubber tires? I have some Testors Rubber that looks pretty good, but is there anything better? Thank you in advance. Thank you vurry much ladies and gentlemen. Mark

The best way to really get to know a new kit is to build it. Clayton Ockerby does just that with MiniArt's new 1/35th scale Raupenschlepper OST RSO/01 Early Production kit. Part I in  a weekend? See what he thinks in the first part of his video build guide...Read on... »

Just finished this for the review Corps.......or so I thought. Just noticed I forgot the aerial....DOH! Nice little kit but a bit finicky and some flash/heavy mold seam lines. I like it and will have to do another and hopefully they do a -1 version. Maybe they will do a 48th????

To complement their earlier Type 35B, Italeri has released another version, this one with new colours & parts as the 1928 & 1930 racers. We look at the new colours, etch & history in our preview...Read on... »

B-17s didn’t just serve in the European Theater but began the war under the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines on 7 and 8 December, respectively due to the international date line. The Flying Fortress served on the front line as bombers from December 1941 through late 1943 before transitioning to B-24D Liberators. Flying Fortresses continued to serve throughout the war as transports and commander/VIP transports. This book does a tremendous job of telling the important role B-17s served in the Pacific Theater.

This book contains 88 pages, 63 black and white photos, 16 color photos, 18 color profiles, 6 color maps, 5 black and white maps, and 2 tables. It covers war plans, policy, manufacturers, and the Strategic Air Command (SAC) from 1945 to 1990, and is divided into four chapters.

See what other chapters are doing... Many IPMS Chapters publish Newsletters for their membership. I have been collecting and bundling them into what I call a Newsletter Blast and sending them to as many IPMS members I can reach. Most of this effort goes to the Chapter Contacts though individuals are on the distribution list. If you have not been getting these Blasts, 7 or 8 per month, and would like to, PM me and I'll get you added in. (This is not an "Official" IPMS funtion, but something I do on my own.) Looking forward to having you in the recipients.

It has been a tough month for me, but thanks to Hobby Days, I was able to get these models completed. First up is one of the three large trucks I started a few weeks ago. This is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale US Army THAAD system that my wife bought me: Next is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale HEMMTT Tractor with the TPY Radar System. This was a Secret Santa gift from another Forums: This and the THAAD are designed to work together. This next model is the Trumpeter 1/72 scale US Army Patriot PAC III system. This is another Secret Santa gift from the other Forums: This fourth model I got in trade from a friend on the Braille Scale Forums. It's the Armory 1/72 scale MGM-52 Lance: This fifth one is a model I'd been dreading working on, but I was determined to get it done. This is the Tiger Models 1/72 scale Marine Corps MRAP: Finally this sixth one is the Pegasus Hobbies 1/72 scale German Maus super heavy tank. This is also number 950 in my completed armor and vehicle collection: And that's all for now. I am hoping to finish a few more models this month so stay tuned. More to come. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
