Once the Royal Navy lost control of their air arm with the consolidation of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service into the Royal Air Force in April, 1918, the service that had pioneered the naval use of aircraft and the ships [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Spitfire MkIXc French markings. Germany April 1945

by Paul van Acker on March 21, 2015 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Hope you like. I love something a little different in a Spitfire. Love the yellow tail in particular. I used 1/48 Montex masks for the markings, and used spare decals for thé roundels. Painted the tail and all yellow areas with tamiya [...]

by Tom Cleaver on March 20, 2015 · in Show Reports · 18 ≡

"Fi-Fi," the only flying B-29 in the world (until "Doc"flies sometime this summer) is currently over at Van Nuys Airport thru Sunday. So I played hookey from writing the new book today and went over to see her. Hadn't [...]

SMER IL-2 1/72

by Greg Kittinger on March 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I finished this kit in 2011. I had 2 Tomcats in my stash, and wanted to build one "turkey feathers" (flaps, gear, hook, airbrakes all out) and wings extended, and one swept and clean. This one is the first (kinda obvious!). It [...]

I bought the Two Bobs decals for this scheme ages ago and managed to obtain the Tamiya Thunderbirds kit needed to build it from Wifey for one Christmas a few years back before Tamiya discontinued it. It's hard to find now though [...]

by Tom Cleaver on March 19, 2015 · in Aviation · 10 ≡
