Arne (the Model Builder) No. 2

by Anders Svennevik Just before New Year I bought the new Revell Mustang kit. I missed it first time round as it quickly sold out here in Stockholm. Revell’s choice of P-51B, the first Merlin-powered version of the Mustang, is interesting. It offers a welcome change from the plethora of […]

The pros and cons of the new Revell 1/72 Mustang

by Göran Kindlund Det här är en byggsats som jag själv är väldigt nöjd med men som aldrig rönt någon uppmärksamhet på någon utställning. Förmodligen är den för anonym. This is a model with which I am personally very pleased, but which somehow fails to capture any attention on model […]

Nilssons dagbok November

by Göran Kindlund En replika av Björn Waldegårds vinnarbil i Monte Carlo rallyt 1969.  Modellen kommer från Fujimis Enthusiast Models serie. Denna serie från Fujimi är sannolikt de mest detaljerade bilbyggsatser som finns i skala 1/25. Jag har inte ändrat så mycket mer än försett den med tävlingsattribut – stolar, […]

Porsche 911S

by Frank Spahr Given the popularity of Airfix Wallace and Gromit offering, here’s an alternative for those inspired by such kits. Just in short: Werner´s a comic figure rather popular in Germany. He´s a biker, one who constantly fiddles around his bikes and equally constantly has trouble with the police […]

How about Werner?

by Martin Waligorski Bf 109 Reprise… When this webzine was started almost three years ago, I wrote: Could the IPMS Stockholm’s site do without a decent Bf 109 walkaround? Of course not…As our veteran readers will remember, we’ve been on this subject twice already: The NASM Bf-109G-6 was our walkaround […]

Chevy Impala, Restoration Object

by Rick Kent Gloster Gladiator in Profile Throughout aviation history, few aircraft reached the level of design elegance equal to that of British biplanes at the peak of their development in the 1930s.
