Tamiya 1/48 Douglas Skyraider VNAF

by George V Guimaraes on September 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Hello! This is my VNAF Spad, a very nice kit from Tamiya. Used some Eduard PE and decals from AOA, since the originals were too old. Cammo was free hand painted (Gunze) and I scratch built a few details, like the wiring to the ejection [...]

1/48 Hasegawa P-39D-1 Air A Cutie

by Dan Lee on September 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

From the limited Edition Air-A Cutie boxing. A fairly easy kit to build for the most part. Much easier to build than the Eduard P-400 but with less detail (I had built an Eduard P-400 Profipack kit over a decade ago), but if I had to [...]

1/48 Scale SEAFIRE XV.

by Rodney J. Williams on September 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I don't remember who's kit this is as I never took a photo of the box art and I don't remember when I built it. However with hardly any photos, I must have built it "OOB." Enjoy!

An X-wing wreck crashed on a swampy planet

by Carlo Farina on September 19, 2020 · in Diorama · 18 ≡

Looking to an old model of a Bandai 1/72 x-wing, I had the idea of refreshing it a bit with this choreography. I imagined it crashed on a swampy planet after an hard battle with the empire. This is the result.

Messerschmitt, Battle of Britain… so everything as usual- or not? Bf 108 of I. JG 54 /summer 1940

by Roland Sachsenhofer on September 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

As soon as the terms "Messerschmitt" and "Battle of Britain" are mentioned together, then in most cases one type of aircraft is the subject of discussion: the Bf 109E. As the only single-engined fighter on the German [...]

ZVEZDA 1/72 Medieval boat

by PHILLIP EVANS on September 19, 2020 · in Ships · 7 ≡

This model kit is titled 'Medieval Life Boat' by ZVEZDA. On reading up about it I found it was the type of boat used to transport men and stores to and from the ships used by the Crusaders. If required it could also be used as a ships [...]

Spitfirepalooza: an Old Addition

by Scott Nelson on September 19, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Here’s one I did some years ago, the notorious Hasegawa Spitfire Mk. IX. I remember it being a typically good Hasegawa kit. The short nose is obvious and a bit distracting for me. Fortunately, the Eduard Spitfires have come along o give [...]

1/48 Seversky P-35A.

by John Healy on September 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

This is the recent Wolfpack re-issue of the Hobbycraft kit. While it is old, the basic plastic is pretty nice with a few accuracy issues. I remember building the HC P-35 around 1995 and enjoying it, so I thought I’d give this one a go. [...]

1/48 Tamiya P-47D “Nut Cracker” 405th FG

by Darren Dickerson on September 18, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is one of my favourite all time markings for the P-47. The decals are from the Aeromaster Special "P-47's of the 405th FG" and I have quite a few more to build from this series of sheets (3 parts) if interested contact [...]
