Kitty Hawk’s 48th UH-1H in 134th AHC markings circa 1969-1970 RVN

by Bowman Roberts on March 26, 2018 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is but one of the Hueys I flew during my tour with the 134th AHC. This is a 2nd Plt Huey as noted by the white accent markings. 1st Plt birds carried red marking where these are white. The UH-1Cs and Ms, our gunships, had light blue [...]

by Brian Riedel on March 26, 2018 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

1/48 Sierra Scale Models Aviatik Berg D.1, markings for Frank Linke-Crawford. Lozenge decals by Americal-Gryphon. I did this one a long time ago. My first successful vac form kit (in my opinion). It was also my first attempt at spoke [...]

Random Award in November 2017

by Charles King on March 26, 2018 · in Uncategorized · 34 ≡

Ok all. This is a bit of a long overdue article about me being chosen for the November 'Random Award 2017'. My sincere apologies for not doing this last year, but I had other engagements that took priority over modeling. But as the saying [...]

1/48 Eduard Pfalz D-III

by Brian Riedel on March 26, 2018 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

The most unlucky kit! 1/48 Eduard Pfalz D-III with decals from the Glencoe kit. While building this one, the control stick broke at least three or four times. The decals shattered and I had to buy another kit to get a complete set (though [...]

Hello fellow i-modelers! I wanted to share with you this final reveal of my entry to David's Battle of Kasserine GB here. I picked the scene of a Tiger I tank of the 501st heavy heavy tank battalion (Dragon #6608) reloading near [...]

by Ferry Dierckxsens on March 25, 2018 · in Show Reports · 32 ≡

Again I visited a modelshow, this time the 10th jubilee edition of the German Euro Model Expo. It's held in Lingen, and for me just over 2 hours driving from home. The Netherlands is a small country and driving to Germany is within easy [...]

Nose art group build....

by Joe Caputo on March 25, 2018 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Inside the fuselage, it says, Revell, Inc. Venice, Calif., Copyright 1954. No doubt a re-pop. I built it as a 12 year old (and still have it). I thought I'd give it another try. Actually, the box art got me again. The nose art group [...]

Pilatus PC 21, 1/32 Scale Scratch Build, Part 9

by Marc Barris on March 25, 2018 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

I just had to post this, I finished scribing the panel lines on the nose and the upper wing surfaces, and I thought I would give it a coat of the blue. I love this color, I think its better than the red, I am so happy with it so far. Work [...]
