Italieri, 1:48 Scale Macchi C.200 “Saetta”

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 31, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 15 ≡

This kit is one of a few of Italian WWII aircraft that has been released by Italieri. I have to say that all in all I was not over impressed with the kit. The plastic is soft and the detail is kind of lacking. I was not impressed with [...]

1/48 Monogram Do-335

by Joe Caputo on July 31, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 9 ≡

Another old Monogram kit, with an option to build the two-seater. While it shows it's age, it still holds up pretty good, as do most of the older kits, with a little work. As I dip into the stash, I recall why I bought these in the [...]

1/48 AA FBC-1 ("Soaring Flying The Leopard")

by Joe Caputo on July 30, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 3 ≡

This is a BIG aircraft, and a very basic, inexpensive kit of a Chinese fighter in demonstration team colors. Everything about this kit is minimal, including detail and decals, but the overall size is impressive, and it looks [...]

Ted Taylor RIP

by Tom Cleaver on July 30, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 6 ≡

I just heard this morning that UK "modelling legend" Ted Taylor passed away yesterday of the crime of growing old enough to do so. (We're all headed toward that "guilty" verdict) I only knew him the way I know most [...]

F3F-2 encore – F3F-2 of VF-6

by Tom Cleaver on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 4 ≡

Since everyone liked the Marine F3F-2, here's a Navy F3F-2 of Fighting 6 aboard USS Enterprise. This is a model of the airplane that Fred MacMurray's character "crashed" during the high altitude test in "Dive Bomber." [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 Scale Bristol Beaufighter Mk-VI

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

Another great kit by Tamiya, so what else can I say. Fit was spot on and other than the need of some extra detail in the respective cockpits, the kit is awesome. I only say that because for some it's not enough. Others, (Like me) will [...]

Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale, Kawanishi N1K1-Ja, ‘Shinden’ (George)

by Frederick J Seitz III on July 27, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Hey Folks, I've been away for a bit, but still building. Thought I'd post a few pictures of one of my latest builds. Loved the kit and it went together very well. A minimum of fit issues and the detail was nicely done without that [...]

More work on the "Cave"

by Rob Anderson on July 22, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Small room, but feel blessed to have a space, not sure about the other walls, but these I like and I am just about ready to start gluing and painting again! Not sure where to hang my flight jacket, I still wear it out now and again. [...]

F4U-4 of VF-32, Flown by Lt. Frank J. Cronin USN, 1950

by Frank Cronin on July 15, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 22 ≡

I first saw a mention of Lt Frank Cronin on page 24 of the Osprey book "F4U Corsair Units of the Korean War". Considering we had the same name I sought to try to locate him to say hello. I did locate him and wrote him a letter. [...]
