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 [...]

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 [...]

Iteleri Mirage III BZ 1/32 scale Part 2

by Marc Barris on August 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is how far I managed to get after my last post, needless to say I have been working late into the night having lots of fun with this build. I do a lot of Project Management work in the Congo, so when I get time off I become a hermit [...]
