Just as introduction, this is an Me 109 E from Academy, look very nice but has some minor troubles. It was made some years ago I paint it with xtracolor, free hand with Badger 100 LG fine needle. Best regards from Uruguay Ural

KC-135R Stratotanker 1/72 Italeri

by UGUR KENEL on April 5, 2016 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Model is Italeri, 1281 box number, 1/72 scale KC-135R/FR Stratotanker kit. Grey color plastic parts and engraved detailed panel lines. Not an easy kit. Parts are not symmetric. A lot of gaps between parts. And some details are missing on [...]

Finished! - 1:48 Scale, Airfix Hawker Hurricane

by Frederick J Seitz III on April 5, 2016 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I got this one done, my third for this year! A honey of a kit, loaded with detail and great fit! Loved building this model and I'm gonna have to pencil in another one, just because! I hope you like the end result, and I saw earlier, one [...]

Academy 1-48 scale F-16A/C with Two Bobs Decals

by George Tufnail on April 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Started this one in January as a hedge against the missing parts in the Kinetic Sufa,(which showed up too late for the deadline) and the unavailability of the Skunkworks F-16XL. Cheap, quick, cool markings. Turned out to be very cheap. [...]

Heinkel He-115, Matchbox 1/72

by Jaime Carreon on April 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

My first completed build of the new year is the venerable Matchbox He-115, a kit that I think was first issued the year I graduated from high school back in the '70's. It's also the first model to come out of my new model room. Built [...]

Hobbycraft+ 1:48 F8F-1 Bearcat

by Pip Moss on April 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

When my friend Jim Sullivan sent me the photo of the NAS Glenview Bearcat, I knew that was the one I wanted to replicate. Fortunately, SuperScale has those markings on their sheet 48-1008. I possessed both the Hobbycraft and Hobby Boss [...]

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane

by Scott Nelson on April 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Today I fire a 1/48 scale salvo at my good friend Dennis Meyers in our friendly model competition (I know he's working on the Eduard 1/48 Spitfire he received from imodeler). This is my fourth completed kit for 2016, the Airfix 1/48 Hawker [...]

Hobbycraft 1/48 P-40 L/M

by Clark Cook on April 4, 2016 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Again this was supposed to be a quick out of the box build but ended up with me spending a lot of time on the model. First of all, I "canvassed in" the wheel wells using coffee filter paper. Then I detailed the cockpit with [...]
