Insides, turning out!

by Rob Anderson on March 10, 2017 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

Ok, so I wasn't going to go hog wild on stuff you can't see. I only added a few things besides the wooden floors. Resin seats fro Resin2Detail, a lamp some odd details here and there and a couple of charts. I just love these old [...]

1/72 Airfix MiG-15

by Tom Rodgers on March 10, 2017 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

I did this kit a few months back. It is an attempt to depict the MiG-15 at the Planes of Fame Museum at Chino, CA. It "started life" as a 1970's Airfix "baggie" kit, hence there were SOME fit and detail issues. This [...]

Airfix 1/72 Cessna 0-1F Bird Dog

by Tom Bebout on March 10, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Thought for once I would do a quick fun build over a week end. And here it is, the old Airfix 0-1 Bird Dog. What a tiny model for me to be doing. The old decals pretty much fell apart so most are from my spares box. Fit was OK but the [...]

Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat in 1/48.

by Tony Prince on March 10, 2017 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Long a favourite of mine, I waited for a better kit than the Academy offering but have not found one. Unfortunately the HB kit seems to suffer from a number of issues which made me stick to what I had in the stash. This one has a resin [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Nakajima built A6M2-N “Rufe” Type 2 float plane

by Louis Gardner on March 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 42 ≡

It's been a little while since I have posted any of my builds here. I've been really busy with moderating the Midway Group build, while trying to get a few more planes built before the 75th Anniversary of Midway in June. Here's a little [...]

1/72 Tamiya N1K1-Ja Kawanishi Shiden

by Geoffrey Abreu on March 8, 2017 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

Just finished this one up today. It is painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered a bit with silver pencil, oils and pastels. It is pretty much OOB. I drilled out the gun barrels and added an antenna wire from Uschi super fine rigging [...]

Trumpeter 1/144 H6K5 "Mavis"

by Ryan Boerema on March 7, 2017 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

From the Water Wings Group Build. Nicely fitting kit, well, for the most part, but quite a few inaccuracies, that manages somehow to be both ugly and elegant.
