Matchbox/Revell 1/72 Dornier Do28D Skyservant

by Joe Caputo on March 6, 2016 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This was an old, simple Matchbox kit, that I threw together, for a change of pace. I thought a "civilian" paint scheme would look decent, compared to the other Skyservants I've done. It's a decent kit for it's age, and the only [...]

Here are a pair of box scale oldies I recently completed, the A-5A Vigilante from Monogram and the A-3D Skywarrior from Revell, I tried tweaking both of them with a little detail. I used the kit decals from the A-5 as you can tell from the [...]

1:48 Scale Eduard, F6F-5, “Hellcat”

by Frederick J Seitz III on March 3, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Not going to get in too much of a chat with this one, as I already have written about their F6F-3. Same build experience with this one. Great overall detail most of the time, and could be improved upon in others. It's an excellent [...]
