1/48 Arii FW-190

Hi All, Love all the recent FW-190 postings, so I thought I'd add another Butcher Bird. Here's my 1/48 Arii kit I finished +/-20 years ago. Sorry, too many years ago to add any details about the construction. Keep on modeling!

Spitfire Mk,VIII (Arii 1/48)

Hello everyone. This is my first post, since I just landed. I usually only build on 1/72, but I wanted to try to give this kit a go. At present there are brands that manufacture Spits with a higher level, but otherwise it would never have [...]

Arii Otaki 1/48 F6f-3 Hellcat

one for my bucket list...always wanted to build one of these...Al Vraciu...like cashew with a V

Water Wings group buildCessna 172 floatplane, Arii 1/72

Here's my warmup for the group build. This is the Arii Cessna 172, which contains parts for both wheels and floats. The model represents a late 1970's Skyhawk equipped with Wipline floats. Fit was ok but not great, and the decals were [...]

1/48 Yokosuka Type 93 Willow 1935

The old Arii kit but still come up nice. Rigging g done with the wire that came in the kit. I want to try using EZ Line when I can get some. Looks interesting. Hope you like all.

Arii/Otaki 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

This is the first model I've built in seven years! I have been so busy pursuing my career that model building was put on hold for a long time. Aries cockpit, True Details wheels, a bit of scratch building here and there, and a combination [...]

1:48 Arii F4U-1A Corsair, Kepford’s “White 29”

Here's my rendition of the Arii (originally produced by Otaki?) 1:48 scale F4U-1A Corsair. Even though it's well over thirty years old, the Arii kit builds into a nice Corsair. The good points are very accurate outline and shapes, finely [...]

ARII 1/48 Nakajima Ki 44 "Shoki" (Tojo)

The Ki 44 was a Japanese Army Air Force interceptor. The ARII kit, while old, was at one time, "state of the art", and is still a no-problem, fun build. By today's standards, there's not much detail, but this kit comes from a [...]

Riverside Scale Modellers club group build, 2013.

Every year the scale model club, Riverside Scale Modellers that I joined in August this year has a club group build, after some discussion a subject is chosen and providing that a kit valued at no more than $10 to $12 AU is available in [...]

Arii 1/72nd Mitsubishi G3M3 Nell Medium Bomber PTO WWII

Some really outstanding builds lately. Very inspirational. Today we have Arii's Nell which I believe is a rebox of the LS kit in 72nd scale. Something we don't see to often other than the Betty is the Nell medium bomber. Though quite [...]
