Boeing B-38 Whiffer Conversion in 1/72 Scale

by Jeff Groves on February 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a “What If” conversion of the Academy B-17 kit into what the B-38 project might have evolved into had it gone into production. I’m not sure what it would be called, I have been thinking of it as the “Frankenfortress” but [...]

by Milan Tesař on February 12, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is my second 1:32 scale model that I have built in my life. So training for better models. A fairly simple model with very little detail. I modified the engine cover, rebuilt and modified the headrest to remove the hole and made the [...]

Justice Gundam – ZAFT Mobile Suit, ET 102

by Brian Mennenoh on February 11, 2024 · in Sci-fi · 10 ≡

I love Gundam model kits. Bandai just loads these kits with detail and they are incredibly well engineered. Fully articulated after building and they're all press fit. I did glue parts as I was adding LEDs and won't be disassembling [...]

Airfix 1/72 Lockheed Hudson – RAF Coastal Command

by Carl Smoot on February 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 36 ≡

After about three months, (give or take), my update on the old 1963 release of the Airfix Hudson kit is finished. It was a fun project, but as usual for me, it highlighted some areas of my building skills that still need improvement. I [...]

Revell 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Kit #85-5253

by George Henderson on February 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

A nice little kit with a few problems. Took a little over a month to complete. The cockpit is pretty sparse. The rudder pedals were blobs so I placed Eduard pedals over them. I made harnesses supplied by a company called Kam I Zukuri or [...]

Romanian Fighter

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on February 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

After all the hassle of complex conversions and difficult kits I felt I'd earned an easy build. Looking around I saw that IBG had released an early P.11B which fitted the bill perfectly. I like IBG kits - they go together easily and are [...]

Air battle

by Serg S on February 10, 2024 · in Diorama · 4 ≡

The officer shows with hand gestures the details of the air battle in which he took part. That's why the diorama gets its name.

Dragon 1/48 Ju 88G-6

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

In spite of some fit issues, Dragon's Ju 88G variants have been a favorable topic. The variety of FuG antenna arrays and camouflage schemes culminated in the build of nearly two squadrons.
