by Martin Dytrych on May 23, 2014 · in Reviews · 9 ≡

As I promised, here I bring my review of Hawkeye kit. Enjoy your build! This is going to be a kit review only, so if you would like to know history or anything else of this aircraft, you should look somewhere else. At first, I should say [...]

Yossarian: “Is Orr crazy?” Doc Daneeka: “Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all the close calls he's had.” Yossarian: “Why can't you ground him?” Doc Daneeka: “I can, but first he has to ask [...]

Fw 190A-8 II./JG 301 1945

by Juan Benitez on May 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

After seeing so many excellent models on this site, I have decided to add a few of my own humble efforts to this site. In the last decade kit makers have been redoing my favorite aircraft in larger scales so when Hasegawa released their [...]

Airfix 1/48 Seafire 17 (repost)

by John Healy on May 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I just took a few better pics and posted them. Again, it's a great kit straight from the box. I painted it with Humbrol enamels including my last tins of Humbrol Authentics Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey. I must have had these tins [...]

Wingnut Wings 1/32 LVG

by Eric Larson on May 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

If anyone were to ask what my favorite built model is, this is it. My aviation interests span all eras of flight but only in recent years have I dared tackle some WWI subjects. Anyone with even a passing interest in WWI aircraft has no [...]

32nd Me109 G6

by Robert Aspinall on May 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Hasegawa kit with MDC canopy and cockpit sets. This has been lurking in my stash for the best part of ten years before I gave it any attention! Rob.

Tamiya 48th scale P51D with Part detail set.

by Robert Aspinall on May 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Built from the "Aces of the 8th" and finished with Alclad. I spent a lot of time blending the windshield and canopy and making barrels and blast tubes. I also dropped the elevators and added some extra detail to the [...]
