MonoFix SHAR FRS.1

by John Martincevic on October 21, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Before Kinetic released the British 1st Gen. SHARs the only good way to build one was a kit-bash. Here is my bash from 2013/14. There is too much to describe here so I have included a link to my WIP on BM. This is old school modeling [...]

1/32 Scale Silver Wings Gloster Gladiator Mk 2, SAAF, 1940

by Marc Barris on October 19, 2016 · in Aviation · 44 ≡

This is a kit that I have wanted to build for a long time, I want to try and build as many 1/32 SAAF Aircraft as I can, so this Gladiator was one kit that I had to have, I was busy building the Vampire T Mk 55 when this kit arrived, and [...]

F-16I Sufa (Hasegawa, Eduard, 1:48)

by Christian Ristits on October 19, 2016 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This one I have built a few months ago - always wanted an Isreali F-16 as the camo is really nice. It is not 100% correct, as I have airbrushed free-hand. I have used an Eduard PE Set for the cockpit and also some exterior parts. Painted [...]

Otaki 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW-190

by James Kelley on October 18, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

An old kit from the 1970s, but went together very well. No putty or filler needed anywhere. Painted with Gunze-Sangyo acrylics, and markings are from an old Cutting Edge sheet. The only modifications done were drilling out the gun barrels.

Hasegawa 1/72 RF-101C Voodoo

by Greg Kittinger on October 18, 2016 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Started this over two years ago. Got a bit distracted trying to decide what to do with all the raised panel lines that got obliterated by sanding down the seams, and other builds seemed like more fun! In the end, rather than sanding the [...]

Corsair build, some tips, and what a great fit

by Rob Anderson on October 17, 2016 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

First, the beer. I am not in general fond of Pumpkin beers, especially ones from larger breweries. As often as not it is like they tried to stuff a pie in a bottle with some alcohol. But here in the Pacific Northwest I have found 3 I [...]
