Base done, olive drab coat on the Huey

by Steven Davis on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This is the Verlinden helo base with a Hobby Boss UH-1C that I added the weapons mounts and 40mm grenade launcher "borrowed" from the Monogram hog kit. Still working on the D-Day Beaufighter too! Can't just do 1 thing at a [...]

AFV Club 1:48 F-5F

by Emeterio de la Iglesia Blanco on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Hello everybody! This is the F-5F, in my opinion, one of the most graceful aircrafts. This particular model was finished some time ago and went on without problems. It is outside of the box except for the scratch made harnesses and [...]

1/48 Pfalz D.IIIa, SPAD XIII, and Albatros D.Va.

by John Healy on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

A few more older builds I was e-mailing this morning that I thought I'd share. The Pfalz and Albatros are Eduard kits. They were painted with Humbrol enamels, except for the mauve on the Albatros' wings. I used ModelMaster Napoleanic [...]

Gotha P.60 C-1

by Dmitry Stropalov on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

This one is a late-war German "paper-plane" (Luft'46), initially a two-seat night fighter equipped with a FuG 240 radar and 4 autocannons. No known mockups or prototypes were ever built. So, this model should be a fantasy [...]

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1

by John Healy on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I was e-mailing these pics to a friend who just purchased the kit and thought I'd share them here as well. I built this one way back when it came out. Aeromaster enamel paints and Superscale decals finished her up. Not much else to [...]

Mojo restoration – Tamiya 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3

by Editor on March 16, 2014 · in Aviation · 38 ≡

It's time to call this one ready. The Bf 109E is my first completed kit in almost three years, a period when my modeling had been falling victim to other commitments in life. Although I'm the one who started iModeler, little did I know [...]

Review: A very serious book recommendation

by Tom Cleaver on March 15, 2014 · in Reviews · 7 ≡

As someone now recognized myself as a military historian, it's easy to say that the military historian who has been my greatest influence is Sir Max Hastings. In case you missed his book released in Europe as "All Hell Let Loose" [...]
