by Jim Sullivan on June 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

Years back, I read an article in Air Classics telling the story of 'Sally'. That Corsair was a salvage job constructed from the remains of several Corsair hulks from the boneyard by mechanics of Marine Service Squadron Eleven out in the [...]

Here for my 2nd post is a Tamiya 1/48 scale Storch. It is completely OOB except for some Eduard pre-painted seatbelts. Decals are from "Lift Here" and represent an aircraft from the Royal Yugoslav Air Force, ca Spring 1940.

Gloster Javelin FAW 9 in 1/48 by Airfix

by Tony Prince on June 9, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Having built the Airfix Canberra PR 9 & the Sea Vixen with a great deal of pleasure I was lucky enough to win this kit at our monthly IPMS raffle. I think the Javelin is Airfix's best yet. Fit of parts was perfect; no filler anywhere. [...]

The Typhoon was done for the Group Build, the others are D-Day aircraft I've built over the years.

Merkava Mk IV LIC

by Rob Pollock on June 8, 2014 · in Armor · 13 ≡

As this was the last model in my stash, I thought I'd complete the build and dust-off the 'Armor' category for a change of pace. This is Academy's 1/35 kit (13227) of the Israeli Main Battle Tank, the Merkava Mk. IV, in its LIC (Low [...]

Wings of the Red Star Volume I – MiG-29

by Josh Patterson on June 7, 2014 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Well, at least I'm not the one to break the D-Day streak. Honestly I think it's the kit's fault as it kept horning in on my own D-Day build. Well, anyway here goes the rest of the article. It will sound way better if you imagine it being [...]

This aircraft was flown by the Group Commander of 94TCS / 438TCG, Colonel C. H. Young. The painting on the nose of the aircraft is of a sailing ship named Argonia. Argonia was the hometown of Colonel Young. I have the utmost respect for [...]

D-Day C-47 Skytrain

by Josh Patterson on June 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Well, it's 9:15 p.m. Central and I just finished mowing my Dad's yard. Now that work is over, I can contribute to the D-Day build. I know I said I could get this done in two weeks, and I probably could, but a Gloster Javelin, Yak-38, [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1b

by AL HOFFMAN on June 6, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

It is still June 6th over here so here is my contribution. It is Mn317/ZYB of No. 247 (China British) Sqn., 124 Wing as of June 1944. Late in the build I convinced myself that it was a 3-blade prop not a 4-blade like came with the kit. It [...]
