Albatros D.III, 1:32, Roden, Lt. Karl Emil Schäfer, Jasta 28, 30 victories

I saw two nicely built Roden D.III Albatross here recently and I liked them so much I thought I'd build one too. I chose the less presented coloring of the ace Emil Schäfer. I modified a nice looking engine with pipes, cables, spark plugs [...]

1/48 P-40E Warhawk, Colonel Robert L. Scott

This is the Amtech (AMT) P-40E Warhawk, finished as 'Old Exterminator' of Col. Robert L. Scott of the AVG. While the kit itself is an easy build, to bring it up to acceptable standards requires a resin cockpit, wheels, seat, photo etch [...]

The Mil Mi-6 ‘Hook’, a truly record-breaking giant!

The heavy transport helicopter presented here not only occupies a special place among Soviet designs, but also stands out among all rotorcraft designs of its time. From the time of its first flight in June 1957, this giant was the largest [...]

State Partnership...1/48 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, 134th FS "Yellow Scorpions", Vermont ANG "The Green Mountain Boys"

Most modern aircraft my dad has built so far Meng kit, main markings with Caracal decals, stencils are a mix of the kit and Caracal ones. Overall not a bad kit. The new Tamiya kits may be superior but also twice the price... Main colour [...]

In 1939, the Swiss Air Force acquired three Ju 52/3m. For the next 40 Years, the type was the largest aircraft in the Air Force's inventory and was used for a wide variety of tasks. During their long service Lief, the aircraft acquired the [...]

A Canadian Spitfire

Hi All! It is no secret that I like Spitfires. I am not an apologist, the Spitfire had a ridiculously short range and kept its inadequate armament of .303 caliber guns far too long. But it is a beautiful aircraft and the sound as it flies [...]

Group Build: 100 years of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Greetings modeling colleagues. I'm hoping you will join me in a group build honouring the 100th anniversary of the RCAF. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the RCAF, so I'm dedicating it to my father and mother. Aldo Missio Sr. was a [...]

Gotha 244B-2

The Gotha 244 was an experiment for adding power plants to the Go 242 transport glider. It was first conceived as an idea to bolt an Argus As 10C 8-cylinder inverted V air cooled “power egg” engine to the front of the glider so that [...]
