A hungry giant: Me-321 “Gigant” and Sd.Kfz.9 Famo

by Roland Sachsenhofer on July 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Like its namesakes, the giants of classical mythology, the Messerschmitt Me-321 "Gigant" is the subject of numerous myths and stories. Unlike mythology, however, the facts are verifiable here, but they remain remarkable [...]

A bit of exoticism, i.e. oval wings over the Solomon Islands.

by capt. R on July 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I remember quite well when I bought the first Spitfire from the matchbox kit in elementary school. It was a great joy! The model seemed difficult to me then, requiring working with a modeling knife. Of course, everything was painted with [...]

1/72 Airfix Royal Navy Buccaneer S2C, 800 NAS, HMS Eagle, June 1971

by Michael Drover on July 12, 2021 · in Aviation · 33 ≡

G'day all. It's been a while between drinks. It just so happens I reduced the stash by one over the weekend. This is the lovely 1/72 Airfix S2C Buccaneer. It's a great kit to build with only two real gripes. I found that the inserts for [...]

MiG-19PM Heller 1/72

by George Schembri on July 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Another model completed which was started in the last century and was pulled out of storage. Checking the web, this Heller kit No 251 was probably released in 1979, with the initial release in 1973. Considering the age, I think Heller did [...]

Hasegawa 1/72 P-47D Engine run up

by David Garcia on July 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I enjoy photographing my models just as much as I like building them. Here's an example. I shot this scene with a Nikon Coolpix 950 ($18 on eBay). This camera has excellent depth of field. Tarmac is sand paper, crew chief is from the [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX PK-2

by David Garcia on July 8, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I build old kits, the older the better. I especially like Revell, Aurora, HAWK, Matchbox and Airfix from the 1950s and '60s and 1970's. This Matchbox PK-2 of the 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX upgraded [...]

by Bob Torres on July 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

This is a build I completed a few months ago of AMT-FROG Famous Fighters Series I, No. 3955-130, 1:72 (1967 boxing). I started work on the first plane this past September while involved with two different FB group builds on a totally [...]

1/72 Hasegawa Rockwell OV-10 Bronco

by Don Weixl on July 4, 2021 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I started this simple little kit around 1980 when I was still in college. I was quite ambitious at the time by cutting out the flaps and cutting off the cargo door, planning to detail the interior. At the time I numbered the flaps and wing [...]

Does “Famo” stand for “Famous”? It would be justified! The Schwere Zugkraftwagen 18t/ Sd. Kfz.9 Famo

by Roland Sachsenhofer on July 4, 2021 · in Armor · 11 ≡

The Sd.Kfz.9, also known as the "Famo" for short, represents a kind of end point in the most remarkable development history of German half-track vehicles: the design officially known as the "Schwerer Zugkraftwagen 18t" [...]
