by IT Lahtinen on April 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

New Air Force One 747 is rumored to be solid gold! Made by BoingFinland this is the widest body design used so far. Solid gold engines, too. 24k. No fake news here. Model is an egg size item. Good cholesterol, plenty of protein.

My PB4Y-1 ‘Dem Bones

by Ralph Clements on March 31, 2017 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This has taken me since mid-January to get done...not because it is so great but because I am so slow...It is the Revell 1/48 B-24D that I have tried to make represent an Atlantic Theater ASW PB4Y-1 (I think that would be the proper USN [...]

1/72 Breguet Alizé

by Rapid27 on March 31, 2017 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

Hi, I present to you my last built. I started it in August 2016 and finished on March 4, 2017 ... This model represents the best know embarked French anti-submarine fighting plane in the heart of the 80's. This Breguet Alizé is stationed [...]

Airfix P-40B in 1/48

by Tony Prince on March 30, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Being a veteran of two Monogram P-40s, one by Trumpeter & another by Academy, I really looked forward to the Airfix offering. There were few issues & none that couldn't be corrected easily, although the spinner nearly defeated me - [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-3

by George Henderson on March 30, 2017 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I started building this to be marked with the kit decals but a photo on the web blew me away. This is more of a study in interpreting B&W colors than being correct so this is my take right or wrong. I messed up placing the wing [...]

And now for something completely different… A “What If”, a “Definite Maybe”, and a “Just Because”!

by Roberto Silva Cuevas on March 28, 2017 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

Hi Everyone... Today I finished up the Mitsubishi J2M in the colors of an actual Ki-61 that was captured by the U.S. Marines during WWII. I think it catches the spirit of the "What If" without going to overboard. Next is a P-39 [...]

RAN De Havilland Sea Venom FAW.53 cockpit (yes, another one...)

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on March 28, 2017 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Time for another black cockpit, been a while now. Although I have filed a Sit-Around from a RAN Sea Venom before I think you can take one more. This time it´s the very nice cockpit from from the WZ 939 at the Classic Jet Fighter museum at [...]

Tiny Hunter

by Scott Nelson on March 28, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I think the Hawker Hunter is one of the most esthetically pleasing aircraft ever to fly. I've made Revell's 1/32, 1/72, and, now 1/144 Hunters. I have to say I like this 1/144 kit the best. If I can find a 1/144 Hunter decal sheet, I'd [...]
