Another silly take on what could have happened... This was an experiment in flaking paint as well as another captured trials aircraft. Cheers!

Hasegawa 1/72 RF-29G (for Germany!) - What If?

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Tamiya 1/32 F-14A Tomcat of VF-84 after Gulf War (1), 1991

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A small number of pics of my Tamiya 1/32 F-14 Tomcat which I still believe to one of the best looking of all the Grumman 'Cats! Please forgive the bombs but they were in the box - & I like bombs... Rather heavy weathering on top but [...]

by Bill Koppos on February 7, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

by Louis Gardner on February 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Revell 1/48 F-84E Thunderjet

by Gary Stevenson on February 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

One of Colonel George Lavens F-84Es from his time in charge over in Europe with the 527th FBS, 86th FBG, USAF . Decal sheet is by Aeromaster and kit straight OOB otherwise. Very colourful paint job and a lovely kit to build!

Italeri (Accurate Miniatures) 1/48 B-25D Mitchel 'Tondalayo'

by Gary Stevenson on February 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Still on the workbench and propped up to avoid strain on that original, fragile plastic nosewheel leg! - A metal leg would have been nice on this one, especially with all the weight in the nose to contend with!
