Building Northrop’s XP-61C/D

by Jack Mugan on July 15, 2016 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

About a zillion years ago when Monogram first released their 48th scale P-61 Black Widow, I built the black version but I have no recollection what ever happened to it. Over the years I always wanted to do the natural metal version, which [...]

1/48 Pro-Modeler P-40E Warhawk.

by Tom Bebout on July 15, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hasegawa 1/72 P-40N – Desert Scheme

by Greg Kittinger on July 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

A friend of mine bought me this kit so that the two of us could both build P-40N's (although his was 32 scale). I liked a couple of the Pacific Theater schemes that came in the box - especially the white-tailed version - but as I was [...]
