Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I early

by Ken Hammer on January 14, 2016 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This is the new Hawker Hurricane Mk.I by Airfix. I added a ring and bead gun sight, made out of twist tie wire, as well as the pitot tubes made of the same wire. I also added Quickboost exhausts, and CMK five spoke wheels Decals are Iliad [...]

Eduard 1/32 Bf 109E-3, Weekend Edition

by Mike Still on January 14, 2016 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Even with whatever Trumpeter and HobbyBoss may have released, the Eduard series of Bf 109Es are just about the best available in 1/32 scale. They do require careful fitting during assembly, but your reward is a model with very little [...]

Stage Coach (With Apologies to John Ford and “Duke”)

by Jack Thompson on January 14, 2016 · in Uncategorized · 23 ≡

I had so much fun with, and got such good comments on, my last posting of a model I built (a USMC M50A1 "Ontos",) I thought I’d try another one. This is a really stimulating and worth-while website! I’ve loved stage coaches [...]

Pacific Coast Models 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXc

by Mike Still on January 14, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

It may not have all the bells and whistles of Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire IX, but the Pacific Coast Models kit gives you a pretty accurate Mk IX without having to worry about a stratospheric parts count. While in many ways a limited-run kit not [...]

Revell/ProModeler P-47N, 1/48

by Mike Still on January 14, 2016 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

One of two 1/48 injection-molded P-47N kits out there (Academy's N coming out around the time this one came out in the late 1990s), the ProModeler kit was repopped a few years back by Revell. While it's the most accurate N kit in outline, [...]

Revellogram A-4E Skyhawk

by Mike Still on January 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The classic Monogram A-4E/F Skyhawk still lives 36 years after its initial release. Yeah, the Hasegawa kit may offer finer details and cleaner moldings, but you can do a lot with the Monogram kit too. Revell's most recent repop of this [...]

Airfix Folland Gnat T.1, 1/72

by Mike Still on January 13, 2016 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Except for a lot of add-on details in the cockpit (punched instrument faces, reworked ejection seats, sawn-open canopy, it's basically stock. Solid overall detailing, but still before Airfix really hit its stride in the past couple of [...]
