Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader

by David Kopielski on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This build was the Revell 1/48 A-26B Invader. It was detailed with Eduard photo etch detail sets for the cockpit and the bomb bay. I also used the SAC metal landing gear set. The scheme is the “Maggie’s Drawers” of the 416th BG – [...]

Come see my IIc at sea.

by Kyle Koppos on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Are you tired of this one yet? This is my interpretation of the ubiquitous 'Nicki,' a Sea Hurricane Mk.IIc that served aboard the escort carrier HMS Nairana during '44. Its colors and composition, or at least its squadron, has been the [...]

Yak 3 in 1/72 Revell (Zvezda)

by Aldo Missio on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

After spending way too long on the last couple of builds (mostly do to self-inflicted problems and mistakes) I wanted something quick and easy, so scanning the stash, the Yak jumped out at me. Apparently you can do it as a snap-together [...]

Flying Kiwi

by Michael Turner on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This the last of six P-40s I built earlier this year for a club display for the Australian Model Expo. I built them as one group of three and a second group of four. A seventh aircraft was not finished in time for Expo but is now [...]

KSR-5 aka AS-6 "Kingfish" ; Amodel ; 1/72

by Konrad Sołtysiak on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Today I present another model of the "aircraft carrier killer" - KSR-5. This missile was a scaled-down version of the X-22. The main purpose of the modification was to allow the Tu-16 to carry missiles of this class. The Tu-16 [...]

Tamiya 1/48 scale Kawasaki Ki-61-1 Tei Hien

by Pip Moss on February 10, 2024 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

I finished this on February 1, 2024, just about a month after completing the Tamiya 1/48 F-14A, which I thought, given its size and complexity, was the best engineered kit I had ever built. Well, this Ki-61 is obviously smaller and [...]

Fujimi 1/700 HMS Eagle (a blast from the past)

by Marcello Rosa on February 10, 2024 · in Ships · 6 ≡

Dear friends While working on my next model, I share today pictures of an older build. This was completed more than 3 years ago, and was my first 1/700 ship, and also my first sea base. I decided to share images of this model to [...]

24-hour build: Heller 1/72 Arado Ar 96

by Mike Grant on February 9, 2024 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I've previously published an article about my 24-hour Airfix Widcat, and this build followed much the same online format: start-to-finish in a 24-hour period with frequently posted updates. Unlike the new-tool Wildcat, the Heller Ar 96 was [...]
