Academy MiG-21MF Fishbed, 1/48 scale

by Ramon R. Lomeli on January 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello iModeler! This is one of three kits I managed to finish last year. I used a CMK resin cockpit and wheel wells, and finished it in generic USSR colors using the kit decals and Akan paints. Not a bad kit for the price but I think I [...]

My 2020 builds

by Michael Turner on January 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

These are the four builds I completed in 2020. I posted the Rafale build earlier this year and the three Me 262s are the subjects of a work-in-progress thread ((link)) and I'll post the final pictures here soon. I had hoped to finish a few [...]

Roden Junkers DI, 1/72 scale, Belgium late 1918

by Andreas Fey on January 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Hello, this is one of my first WWI kits ever. To be honest, I'm a little scared about rigging biplanes, therefore I started with a monoplane. The challenge about this kit is the corrugated iron skin. Because the decals of this kit are very [...]

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 3, 2021 · in Photo Collections · 18 ≡

Hi everyone! I had the chance to spend some time near HAF's C-47, s/n KK156. This was one the last flying HAF C-47s, meticulously maintained, its last flight taken place sometime in 2005. Since then, it resides in 114CW, Tanagra, my Base, [...]

Historic Planes of the Hellenic Air Force

by Spiros Pendedekas on January 3, 2021 · in Photo Collections · 19 ≡

Hi everyone! Here are some pics of Hellenic Air Force bird types that are not operational any more. These birds reside in the 114CW, so, understandably, most of them are types that once were operational in the Base. Keeping these planes in [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fokker DR1

by Paul van Acker on January 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

1/48 Eduard Fokker Dr1 flown by Lt R Klimke, Jasta 27. Halluin-Ost, France 1918. Super fun build. 2021 will be my WW1 year... and probably years after. ?

A (Reluctantly) Productive 2020

by Dennis Meyers on January 3, 2021 · in Photo Collections · 10 ≡

Taking advantage of the extra down time from the Covid social distancing lockdown I tried to reduce my stash by finishing some simple no-frills OOB builds (**) in addition to ongoing work on regular long term projects. No frills means no [...]

by Tom Cleaver on January 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Technically, this Special Hobby Bf-109E-4 is a 2020 kit, since I started it in December. But I didn't decal and finish it till today, so it's the first one finished of 2021. This new Special Hobby 1/72 Bf-109E-4, done in cooperation with [...]
