Bristol Fighter Roden 1/48th Scale

by James Robert Feuilherade on July 3, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Built this a while back, but as others have posted oldies but goodies, decided to show I do actually manage to get somthing across my work bench occasionally! Good kits the Roden's, if maybe not for beginners. Soft plastic can make [...]

Last P-40Es

by Tom Cleaver on July 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

The P-40E-1/Kittyhawk IA flown by CAPT Andrew Reynolds of the 49th FG is actually a Kittyhawk IA - the Lend-Lease version of the P-40E-1. When the 49th FG arrived in Australia in March 1942, there was not much attention paid to whether [...]

HobbyBoss F-84E 31st FG in 1/32 scale

by Juan Benitez on July 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I'm from Ohio, born on Wright-Patterson AFB and on of my earliest memories is one of me at an Armed Forces Day airshow, sitting in the cockpit of an F-84 with a huge 50's style flight helmet plopped on my head, and not being able to see [...]

Academy 1/48 Hawker Hunter F.6…

by Robert Bausch on July 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

I am a big fan of Sir Sydney Camm’s Hawker fighter designs, from Kingston on Thames, especially the Typhoon, Tempest and Hunter. The Hunter has always been one of my most favorite aircraft, for many, many years. Aircraft shapes don’t [...]

1/48 Testors OV-10 Bronco

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 [...]

Hello! My new job. Elegant French fighter. In my plans for another three or four models of the S-13. Happy viewing! Sincerely, Vlad.

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 [...]
