Wasn't going to post it, but.....

This is the Gavia 1/48 Westland Lysander. I hated it. Nothing fitted well, the wings to canopy fit was very hard and decals unusable. I used spares. Even photographing it was a nightmare. A random gust of wind blew it over. I lost a [...]

Revell 1/32 Ju-88 A-1, Norway, 1940

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

The airframe depicted has been raised from a lake in Jonsvatnet, Norway in 2004 where it sank through the ice in 1940. Even though it was a relatively new airframe built in 1940, it already had a new wing and had been recoded on the [...]

Tamiya 1/32 F-4C Phantom USAF early scheme. Vietnam 1965

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is my Tamiya Phantom in the early USAF gull gray & white colour scheme used until around 1966 when the SEA camo scheme came into use. I loved building this kit even though it was a few years ago now. Cockpit is Black Box and there [...]

Dig his 'Fu Manchu'! He was actually watching TV when I interrupted him for this photo...

Monogram D-335A4 Pfeil Luft'46

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Another What-If? - Luftwaffe1946: After much drawn out fighting, the Germans finally capitulate. Leaving behind items such as this D0-335 much abused & repaired Arrow. Replaced wing & lower fin in case you hadn't noticed! Have fun [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Kyushu J7W1 Shinden (Greased Lightning?)

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Another silly take on what could have happened... This was an experiment in flaking paint as well as another captured trials aircraft. Cheers!

Hasegawa 1/72 RF-29G (for Germany!) - What If?

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Just some fun stuff with Hasegawa's old X-29 kit. No one can say this is the wrong colour eh? 'Ave a larf why don't you...? Cheers guys!

Tamiya 1/32 F-14A Tomcat of VF-84 after Gulf War (1), 1991

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

A small number of pics of my Tamiya 1/32 F-14 Tomcat which I still believe to one of the best looking of all the Grumman 'Cats! Please forgive the bombs but they were in the box - & I like bombs... Rather heavy weathering on top but [...]

FAA Grumman Wildcat AL426 being stripped, restored & preserved at Yeovilton, UK

by Gary Stevenson on February 8, 2017 · in Photo Collections · 16 ≡

These few pics are from a visit we paid to the FAA Museum at Yeovilton in around 2006 when they were restoring their Wildcat AL246. I found it amazing that the colours inside had never been touched up or replaced and were a true depiction [...]

Midway Marauder

by Bill Koppos on February 7, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Saw that Greg Kittinger wants to do a Midway B-26. Here was my interpretation, done a couple of years ago. "Susie-Q" was an early bird with short wings and different tail gun position. Valom had a kit of it, it got crucified by [...]
