by Joe Bianco on October 13, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I finished this 1/48 scale Eduard A6M2 Type 21 Zero a few months ago but I am just now getting around to posting it. The plane represents a Zero that was in the second attack wave on Pearl Harbor. All markings including the tail codes [...]

Revell 1/32 Heinkel 111P

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 13, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

ProModeler's boxing of Revell's giant Heinkel depicts the MTO camouflage scheme version. It is a very good kit offering a trouble free build experience. The model is less detailed than you may expect for the size of model to show. Yet, [...]

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on October 12, 2023 · in Show Reports · 6 ≡

A quick report from the SAPMA show in Adelaide last weekend. Didn´t participate with any models but the friendly organization let me in as a judge for a few classes. As inspiration for you I publish a few photos in a somewhat messy order [...]

An inexpensive P-38

by Clint Miller on October 12, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Not sure how many modelers have built the Hobby Boss easy assembly kit of the Lockheed P-38, but here is my take on it. As far as P-38 kits go, it really is an "easy" kit, but you do have to deal with very long seam lines that [...]

Heinkel He 112B-1, 1/48

by dale travis on October 11, 2023 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is a kit by LF models and I think it may be their first all plastic kit in 1/48. It is a limited run product of very good quality. Options include cowl panels to do either the in line exhaust or the tubular. The clear parts are very [...]

1/48 US Navy SNJ-3 (Revell 1/48 AT-6G): Jim Sullivan Memorial Group

by George R Blair Jr on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

I wanted to do one more model for the Sullivan Memorial Group, and a photo in Golden Wings of a US Navy SNJ-3 caught my eye. It was a very weathered SNJ-3 photographed at NAS Moffett Field in 1944. The camouflage seemed to be a cross [...]

1/72 Arado 555

by Clarence Novak on October 10, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Finally after sitting on my shelf, it's finished. A lot of new things like Vallejo Color Magnesium and a bit different than the usual camo versions? Still had a lot of leading edge seam separating? I need to learn a more reliable way of [...]
