Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Bert Stiles is the most famous author to graduate from South Denver High School, having written “Serenade to the Big Bird,” one of the true classics of Second World War literature. I’m the only other writer who graduated from that [...]
The Mi-6 "Hook" from Amodel is a real challenge in many respects. The fact that I have built two of them in parallel is directly related to this: solutions that have been found in one model should be given the chance to prove [...]
This is my build of the Hobby Boss North American FJ-4B Fury in 1/48 scale. I started this kit earlier this year prior to knowing about the “Sabre and FJ Fury” group build here in IModeler. Therefore, I initially started a build thread [...]
MiniArt's first fixed-wing aircraft kit, the P-47D, was produced.
The reproduction of this kit was excellent, and even the basic version was wonderfully complete.
This time, the parts where we were concerned about the strength were [...]
The latest addition to my collection of obscure Navy dive bombers is this 1/72 scale kit from A&A Models, the Martin AM-1 Mauler. Like the Douglas Destroyer in my previous article, this was another aircraft that was intended to [...]
Today is a very good day because i did and completed what every scale modeller should do at some point: Build a Spitfire.
This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a in 48th scale. It is in the markings of 611th squadron in [...]
GWH's Shooting Star is a very nice kit. It featured finely recessed panel lines and is relatively simple to build. Some shape anomality was attributed to the tail unit. The front nose cover part requires sanding to fit with the rest of the [...]
The Skyraider was a late WWII Douglas design to fulfill the United States Navy requirements for a carrier-based, single-seat, long-range, high performance dive/torpedo bomber that would be a follow-on to the Dauntlesses, Helldivers and [...]
Improved with the Eduard PE set for this kit, Master metal cannons, and a Cutting Edge resin reflector sight (OOP), and scratchbuilt details on the cockpit. I used an old Super Scale decal sheet following most of its painting guide. This [...]
This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]
