Tamiya M26 Pershing
This kit was started a good while ago and, for some reason, stayed aside, almost completely built, for a few years. I decided on a hunch to get it done – with a base, no less. The kit was built mostly out-of-box, with some added cast texture, metal tracks, a beautiful Alpine Figure, and some…
Takom AML-90
This is a quick post-summer, get-back-into-it OOB project. It’s Takom’s AML-90 with DEF.Model sagged wheels. It ain’t Takom’s best, to be sure, but it’s a pretty cool little subject that was perfect for my purpose. I do regret not giving it a little more love on the construction side to get some of the details…
RFM’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle
Here’s my most recent project, a kit that now claims the distinguished honor of being the best armor kit (actually, the best kit period that I’ve ever had the pleasure of building), a title that was previously held by Takom’s Merkava 1. Seriously, I’ve never experienced this level of sharp and crisp molding, ease of…
Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 3 – Final Pictures

Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 2 – Some Construction Notes
This project didn’t exactly go as planned. Well, it did, but I did not document it as I initially wanted to, so there is a bunch of info on the lower hull and not much for the turret. I do however have extensive comments to formulate on this kit, now that I have built it,…
Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 1: The Project
Although the Leopard 1 is my favorite AFV of all time, I only ever built one, the old Tamiya kit, when I was something like 12 years old. During all these years, I’ve accumulated a pretty decent amount of references on this vehicle and its many variants, but I never actually got around to building…
GWH Ukrainian Mig-29 Fulcrum-C
I recently bought Great Wall Hobby’s limited edition “Ghost of Kyiv” Fulcrum kit on a hunch. When I got the kit, I was so thrilled about the general shape of the plane I was seeing in the box that I decided to get started right away. After the simple Spitfire summer project, I wanted to…
Tamiya Spitfire Mk. I
As the saying goes, in Québec we have two seasons: Winter and July. So in July (say, June to August), we tend to leave the bench alone and go outside. This is particularly true for those who ride a motorcycle: we only get about five months of nice weather. However, I often try to get…
Joycraft F-16D Viper Toon
Last year, Joycraft launched a new series of products: fully 3D-printed aircraft kits. You may recall a review I posted here a while ago of a book from that company, written by master modelers René Joyal and Jarek Rydzyski. When Joycraft announced its first kit, I jumped on it for a number of reasons. First,…
