Stearman PT-17

by Ralph Clements on August 7, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Here's my just finished Stearman PT-17, a 1/48 scale Revell kit I built 'out of the box'. It is the smallest model I've built. the kit goes together real well, maybe it should be part of Revell's "Pro-Modeller' series. Maybe if they [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51D

by Tom Cleaver on August 7, 2016 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

I recently picked up the limited-release "P-51D 8th AF Aces" kit from an estate sale at the LHS. I hadn't picked this up when first released because I wasn't sure I wanted to do anything with the kit decals. As it turned out, [...]

Eduard Mk.9e Spitfire 1/48 Royal Egyptian Airforce

by neil foster on August 7, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is the Eduard kit and to be honest I found it a bit of a pain in the arse to build, the wing to fuselage fit was dreadful requiring the removal of about 1mm of plastic on each side ,the kit generally was what I would call pointlessly [...]

Airfix H.P. Hampden 1/72

by neil foster on August 6, 2016 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

When I was a kid in the early 1970's I loved the Hampden and built (at least) one very badly but loved it all the same, I decided for a bit of nostalgia to have another go and this time see if I could make a half descent job of it, you can [...]

Revell/Monogram 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt

by Tom Bebout on August 5, 2016 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I seem to be stuck on building old Revell and Monogram kits of late. Here's my latest effort at trying to build an old uncomplicated kit so that it looks well. Copyright on the box is 1998 and it appears it's been recently re-released by [...]
