by Joe Caputo on July 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Playtime ! I would say it's a "whiffie" but, after the model was finished, I saw a drawing of the OV-10 with proposed floats. To my knowledge, the real deal never came about. I had built this as a joke, along with several [...]

Roland DVIa – WnW 1:32

by Aleksandar Krantev on July 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Well, this is just another Roland from WnW, but this plane is so beautiful and the kit from WnW is so good that the results are usually spectacular. I really, really like the slender, wooden, shark like designs of some German WWI scouts [...]

AMTech 1/48 P-40K/Kittyhawk III

by Tom Cleaver on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is the AMTech P-40K "big tail" which was essentially the AMT P-40E kit with a resin rear fuselage and fin. I used a True Details P-40E/N cockpit. The decals are from an early Aeromaster sheet. The airplane is a KittyHawk [...]

AMTech P-40F-15 Warhawk

by Tom Cleaver on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

The AMTech (ex-AMT) P-40F with the resin corrected nose AMTech provided in their kit to fix the wrong nose the kit had. I don't remember whose resin cockpit this is, but the decals were by Aeromaster. The scheme is the "early desert [...]

Another 1/48 Hasegawa P-40N

by Tom Cleaver on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 2 ≡

Hasegawa P-40N in the markings of "Island Dream" of the 7th Squadron, 49th Fighter Group, 1944. The model is essentially OOB other than the aftermarket Aeromaster decals and the use of a vacuformed sliding canopy, so it doesn't [...]

A Real Lady – Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR XIX

by Editor on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Following the last year's review of the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire PR Mk XIX by Tom Cleaver, this is one of these kits I just had to lay my hands on. The idea was a simple out-of-the box project with a single-color paint scheme giving a chance [...]

Eduard 1/48 Nieuport 17 and rigging explanation

by Paul Mahoney on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Ok... I primarily build 1/48 scale WW2 aircraft, but every once in a while I want to branch out. I was introduced to models way back in the stone age when my father would build the Aurora WW1 kits, paint them in oils (he was a dabbling [...]
