by bob mack on November 8, 2018 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

The Bell AH-1 Cobra came on the scene in 1967. It was the first dedicated gunship platform from the ground up in the world. I remember how impressed I was the first time I saw one with that signature front profile of three foot across from [...]

From the Cockpit

by Jim Harley on November 8, 2018 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

When I was on the road with Collings I shot hours of video footage. The GoPro camera really opened new avenues of filming. I haven't posted many videos, more or less a lack of time to edit, but I'll slowly add more as time permits. The [...]

by G. Ley on November 7, 2018 · in Diorama · 21 ≡

I've spent some time working on old, round engines everywhere, from in the shop to replacing parts like propellers busted hoses and "blown jugs" in the field. Therefore, it is only natural to included a radial repair scene in my [...]

by IAN JACKSON on November 7, 2018 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Hey folks... so this is a Tamiya 1:48 Mustang and as such requires very little in the way of explanation or comment from me. However I would crave your collective indulgence for just a moment or two... Over the years I believe I've built [...]

by Robert Royes on November 7, 2018 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

After enjoying building Airfix's 1/72 DB Defiant, I was all set to tackle the F-4K. either my skill set is diminishing or maybe I should give it up. This build was a struggle for me almost all the way. It is a well engineered kit, great [...]

by Boris Grgić on November 6, 2018 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

As the title says, last month I spent with wonderful Hasegawa kit. Model is pretty much out of the box, except I added pilot figure from old "decomissioned" Revell's F-8 Crusader. The kit itself was fun and easy to assemble, only [...]

G.W.H 1/48, Su-35S “Flanker E”
