by Gregor d on June 30, 2014 · in Reviews · 15 ≡

Hot off the press – the new tool 1/72 scale Bristol Blenheim Mk1 by Airfix (£14.99 converts to $25 US). These, thankfully, bear no resemblance to the old tool Airfix Mk IV in terms of engineering, detail and, hopefully, build. The [...]

by Chuck A. Villanueva on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

by Alan Rush on June 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

It has been a while since I have posted and I have finally finished a kit to offer. My two WIP albums haven't changed but I did finish my first aircraft kit since childhood and thought I would put it up to show my highs and lows and open [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 scale P-40N

by Paul Mahoney on June 29, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

by Ralph Clements on June 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Greetings From Virginia, Friends! Here is my just completed Revell, 1/48 Mosquito Mk. IV. Seeing as how the instructions for this kit were pretty vague on some things and self-contradictory on some, I decided to take a little artistic [...]

Building the Curtiss Ugly Duckling

by Jack Mugan on June 27, 2014 · in Uncategorized · 18 ≡

The first 48th scale kit of this aircraft I owned years ago was an all resin kit, and the name of the manufacturer now escapes me. I know I traded it off quite a few years back. I also know the real aircraft was a real dog, and the Navy [...]
