by Simon Whitney on October 31, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Well here it is, un veiling day. The story so far. The good Lady Biggles (Rose) built the Beauty, a Spitfire MK 1 (Tamiya 1/72). Her third ever build and first solo so to speak. Well Tamiya speaks for itself, shake the box and it goes [...]

Group Build. JU-87B Stuka, Italeri 1/48

by Ralph Clements on October 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

For my first time in a 'group build' I chose the Italeri 1/48 Ju-87B Stuka. It is also my first German aircraft, which I am generally challenged by since many of them have such complex paint schemes, and I am a 'hair brush & rattle [...]

Kitty Hawk’s Grumman F9F-8T Cougar in 1/48

by Tony Prince on October 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

As soon as I saw the advance notice I put in my order for this magnificent & much neglected model. It seems that most kit manufactures have forgotten about the 1950's & '60's so a Cougar was great news! It arrived (of course) [...]
