1/350 Mikasa

by Amari Luu on March 27, 2021 · in Ships · 5 ≡

The 1/350 Hasegawa Mikasa has been sitting around in my stash for a while. I had gotten the photo etch upgrade and wooden deck. Since I was on spring break and the speech and debate season ended I decided to finally build it. The lifeboats [...]

Ford Flivver. 1/48 Williams Bros.

by Josh Patterson on March 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Here's one I've been wanting to add to the collection. It started out as a weekend build last week, but I needed time for my gloss blue to dry. As it is one week is stellar for me in terms of getting a kit done! I don't know the actual [...]

Airfix B-17 G 1/72

by George V Guimaraes on March 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Hi there, This is my recent project, a nice Airfix kit. Not my usual scale, but this bird in 1/48 just won't fit my space here. Except Eduard Masks, a must for all these clear parts, everything else OOB. Fitting is nice in general, [...]

1/144 LS P-3 Orion

by Dan DeSilva on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

In Bermuda in the 80's I was in high school and grew up with P-3 Orions flying overhead. The Atlantic Soviet sub threat had to be monitored, so squadrons rotated through Bermuda regularly. Interesting how there isn't an NAS Bermuda any [...]

Cyberhobby 1/72 S61A Sea King Antarctica Observation

by George Chatzidakis on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

A very good kit, very rich in detail. Comparing the kit with photos of the real helicopter, the kit gives some extra pieces that I'm not sure if the were to be used, yet other details aren't there at all. Eduard interior and few scratch [...]

1/144 R5D-3 Blue Angels

by Dan DeSilva on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Here is the Minicraft 1/144 C-54 kit released as the Blue Angels R5D-3. I think this livery is one of the most attractive schemes for Blue Angels logistical aircraft carried. I think it perfectly suits the lines of the aircraft. it also [...]

1/144 C-121 Blue Angels

by Dan DeSilva on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Another of the Blue Angels Logistics aircraft. When you read the history, it is incredible that The Blue Angels used this aircraft, as it would need a large forklift at every location to load or unload from the very high fuselage! The [...]

1/144 TC-130G Blue Angels

by Dan DeSilva on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I built the Minicraft 1/144 C-130 kit as the TC-130G flown by the Blue Angels. This is the only kit that has these markings in the box, and no one produces aftermarket decals for the TC-130G. You can quickly tell the TC-130G by the [...]

Hi guys, Another IDF M-113 version. this time it's the excellent M-163 kit by Academy in 1/35+ Legend "Machbet" conversion kit. "Machbet" in Hebrew means: racket. Have a great weekend!

1/200 Hasegawa C-130 Blue Angels

by Dan DeSilva on March 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

So, many many years after I built a 1/200 C-130 for my wife's yearly Christmas ornament, I finally got around to using the alternate decals in that kit to make a white C-130 the Blues flew! One odd thing about that airframe is that the two [...]
