by Michelle Edwards on December 25, 2015 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Airfix's great representation of the C-47 Dakota this time finished as `Franche-Comte' in French Indochina, using Berna decals and using a mix of Vallejo Model Air, Gunze and Citadel paints.

1/48 Mig-21UM

by Lloyd King on December 24, 2015 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I wanted to do something a little different on this build. I had run across several pictures of abandoned Mig-21's in warehouses, so instead of a warehouse I used a field. The kit is the Trumpeter 1/48 Mig-21 UM built OOB and painted [...]

Here's my final model completion for 2015 - the new tool Airfix 1/72nd scale Shackleton finished as an AEW2. I've completed it as Avro Shackleton AEW2, WL747 'Florence', of 8 Squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth. "Why not wait for the [...]

ProModeller 1/48 P-47N

by Dan DeSilva on December 23, 2015 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

1:72 Heller Criquet

by Michelle Edwards on December 23, 2015 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Heller's classic old kit, yes it has raised detail, yes the decals were nearly shot and yes it needed some engineering skills, but I loved every minuted of the build.

1/48 Hasegawa FGR.2 Phantom

by Dan DeSilva on December 22, 2015 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Here is my 1/48 Hasegawa FGR.2 Phantom. I obtained it from another modeller as a "partial build" kit- I think only the wings were asembled- it was so long ago, i forget! I bought some Seamless S****r resin intakes for it (UK Spey [...]

1/48 Monogram F-5N

by Dan DeSilva on December 22, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡
