Cessna O-2A “Oscar Deuce” – 1:48 (Testors/Italeri)

by Alessandro Parmigiani on April 17, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Hi all, following my previous articles about Vietnam era helicopters, this is time for a fixed-wing! In late ‘60s USAF introduced twin-powered Cessna O-2A to replace single engine Cessna O-1 (my next project). Testors/Italeri kit is [...]

Tamiya Beaufighter Mk. VI

by Tony Prince on April 16, 2017 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This kit was built originally as a RAAF Mk.21 shortly after the kit was released. I later felt that the foliage green overall finish didn't do it justice & decided to re-do it as a Mk. VI from 30 Squadron RAAF. This gave me a lot more [...]

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XII

by Dale Cole on April 15, 2017 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Finished this up today so that my hobby tables would be available for Easter dinner (paint stains and all!) Have built 5 of the new tool Airfix kits in the past year. Had more issues with this one than the others. That being said I think [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw-190 F-8, MTO, Italy WWII

by Chuck A. Villanueva on April 15, 2017 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Finally able to post this build that was completed in January. Tamiya's excellent Fw-190 F-8, in a desert Scheme of RLM 79/80/76. It was completed about the same time as the D-9 posted earlier, but delayed only because I had snapped the [...]

ITALERI 1:48 SPITFIRE Mk. IXc

by George Henderson on April 15, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This was originally going to be the oddball "beer truck" version as shown on the box-top but investigation has led me to believe that this is now a myth at least as depicted by the aircraft shown. I have found pictures of an [...]

Did I Tell You I Like Jugs?

by Scott Nelson on April 15, 2017 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

It took a week longer than I expected but, here's the second of my 1/144 P-47D razorbacks from Platz. I think this one turned out a little better than the previous one. I had to do some reshaping on the tips of the Curtis Electric prop [...]

NZ Firefly

by IAN JACKSON on April 15, 2017 · in Armor · 13 ≡

Almost two years since I last finished/posted an AFV build... Well as this is written it's exactly five years since we moved here to NZ and by coincidence here's a Kiwi subject. Tasca's superb Sherman Firefly Vc with kit decals and a few [...]

SNIPER FIRE

by Carl Christensen on April 14, 2017 · in Diorama · 26 ≡

This is the Acadamy Ontos (which is Latin for 'the thing' - & was affectionately refered to by the Marines as 'the pig') with HobbyFan USMC figures. The base is MiniArt. The Ontos was a cool build but has zero internal detail which is [...]

Eduard 1/48 Bf-109G-2

by Tom Cleaver on April 14, 2017 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The Bf-109G in Finnish Service: During the Winter War of 1939-40, Finland obtained 24 Brewster B-239 fighters, which were the first completely-modern fighters to equip the air force. These were U.S. Navy F2A-1s, and became the first-line [...]
