B-1B Lancer

by Morne Meyer on November 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is Revell/Monogram's gigantic 1/48 scale rendition of arguably the most aesthetically pleasing bomber to emerge from the Cold War, the Rockwell B-1 B Lancer. This model is depicted in a typical 1980's wrap around colour scheme of dark [...]

1/48 Monogram Convair B-58A Hustler

by Alastair Barbour on November 18, 2014 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is another favourite of mine, the B-58 Hustler. The Monogram kit is getting on a bit but still not a bad build and intersting in this scale. Pretty straight forward build, raised panel lines are a bit of a pain but you get over it and [...]

The Last Flight Of The North American Aviation X-15

by Jack Mugan on November 18, 2014 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I ran out of time to enter a club contest for anything that flew in space, so this was a one week build to have something to enter. This model represents the X-15A-2 that was rebuilt from the second X-15 that was nearly destroyed on [...]

Hobby Boss Bv-141B-O

by Tom Cleaver on November 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The asymmetric Bv-141 is perhaps the strangest airplane to fly during the Second World War and one of the strangest ever to fly anywhere. Despite its counterintuitive looks, it was an excellent aircraft which was rejected by the service [...]

Philippines Air Force Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter

by Gary Brantley on November 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I have always loved the lines of the Northrop F-5A. Sleek and elegant with that great area-ruled fuselage, it is a real classic. This model is the one that was built concurrent with my Iraqi MiG-21MF. The kit is the ancient Testors [...]

Iraqi MiG-21MF “Fishbed”

by Gary Brantley on November 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Inspired by the outbreak of Desert Storm, or Gulf War One, I built this MiG-21MF in Iraqi markings and camouflage. So, it's been languishing in the display cabinet since way back then, with no airport pictures taken. Even though it's more [...]

Eduard Messerschmitt Bf 108B Taifun

by Marek Halas on November 17, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 108, completed back in late 2013 & continuing my theme of Polish operated aircraft. The kit is finished to represent the markings of the "Central Staff of the Aviation League" operated by the [...]
