Here's our first tour of the aviation tables at the 2019 Moson Model Show. This gallery covers propeller-era aircraft models in 1/48 scale, with occasional objects in 1/32.
Feel free to comment on and discuss your favorites.
Stay tuned for all the forthcoming other parts of this coverage from the 2019 Moson Model Show - additional galleries will be published shortly.
Looks like the level of the competition is high, as expected. The Albatros B is wonderful, suspect it’s the WnW kit? But the one that caught my eye is that I-16 with a perfect sponge applied green camouflage. Makes me think just how did the fellow managed to replicate that so realistically...
I think the I-16 is the work of Istvan Vadasz. I will ask him as I'm curious too.
Appreciate that if you can Gábor!
Hi! I've just spoken to Istvan Vadasz a minute ago and he very kindly appointed me to the makett.org site which is one of the oldest hungarian modeler's site. He publised the build and the painting process there: http://www.makett.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=4843&start=20
Also a gallery about the finished model: http://www.makett.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=4985
He told me that this is his one of the most favourite I-16 camo but he didn't saw it on a model made really right. Also he collected many pictures about this plane and he was so kind that shared these on the site. If You need help translating something that not clear enough just ask.
Super photos super model and dioramas something for the eye and heart.

The Il-2 will take home some medals.
Yes. That was a beauty.
Some amazing talent on display as always...thanks for the pics.
I personally liked the C-47. Superb finish.
Gabpr's Gee Bee Z (photos 60-61) looks great!
Somebody finally got Roscoe Turner's uniform right, but Gilmore the lion was dead by 1939 (when Roscoe flew the Wedell-Turner). My dad worked as a mechanic for Roscoe in 1932 and flew with Gilmore (then a year old) in the cabin of Roscoe's Lockheed Air Express. "The lion's real name was Whiskey, which is how we kept him docile." Poor Gilmore died in 1938, a 6 year old lion alcoholic.
Beautiful models on display!
Thank you very much Tom. Also for the infos earlier about the Gee Bee replica (and for the stories too). This little fat fellow won a gold medal in master category for me yesterday ;). It was a great show again with great people and moments.
