by Tom Bebout on November 30, 2018 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Another entry from what Louis Gardner has termed the "Bebout Curtiss Factory." This is my attempt at trying to build two kits at the same time, which is a bit of a challenge, but nothing as crazy as when Louis does 6 Spitfires at [...]

My attempt at the Airfix 1/72 English Electric Lightning F.2A. I chose the version flown by Wing Commander J.B. Michell of No. 92 Squadron, based in Gutersloh, Germany. It’s an imperfect build of a great little kit. It’s so gratifying [...]

A day at the airport – Caribbean cargo operations

by G. Ley on November 30, 2018 · in Diorama · 16 ≡

The cargo operation I flew for out of St. Thomas U.S.V.I, is the focus of this diorama. The diorama is representative of various daily airport operations combined in one setting. One of the more notable aspects of hauling cargo were souls [...]

RAF pilots first reported encountering a new German radial-engine fighter on cross-Channel missions in August 1941, with increasing numbers in September, though their main opponents were still Bf-109Fs. Their reports of its incredible [...]

The world's first production helicopter came on the scene in 1942...Flettner came up with the same intermeshing blade design still in effect today...a radial engine sits behind the pilot with a transmission on the front from which a shaft [...]

1/72 Anigrand Craftwork C-141 Starlifter

by Shawn Bemo on November 29, 2018 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I lived in southern CA and would see C-141Bs flying all the time (Norton AFB). In my opinion, it is a classic airplane. Decided to tackle C-141 in 1/72 made of resin. I can't say this just fell together. I used two metal rods for strength [...]
