by capt. R on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

(link) Back to the past again... Academy B-17 F model from 1994. Despite the passage of time, it is still quite good, although outclassed by models from, for example, Airfix. However, the pleasure of an older model is enormous, especially [...]

by Rick Schad on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here we have my 8th build of the year, the 1/32 scale SBD3 Dauntless by Trumpeter. Molding is exceptional, body and cowl are clear plastic for some reason, which I find useless. The instructions are typical Trumpeter, filled with mystery [...]

This is a work in progress. It was inspired by the amazing work of Magnus Fagerberg. Lately, I've been painting the same pieces as those of people whose work I admire in order to better understand their approach -- to sort of 'walk in [...]

by Paul Higgins on February 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hi, guys... this is my most recent build and although I thought it was a bit daunting when I bought it a couple of years back, it turned into quite a nice build. This was the second generation of Fokker fighters produced for the Imperial [...]

Super Bug

Other than the Harpoon missiles, what you see here is exactly what comes in the (very substantial) Meng box... and IMHO is one of the best 1:48 kits available today. Everything fits perfectly, I don't recall using anything more than a [...]

This is a model that I knew I had to get my hands on once it was available. Lo and behold, it was offered for "Presale" at Squadron a month or so ago... Just when I spent too much on other kits for Christmas and I thought my [...]
