AMT’s 1/48 F7F-3N Tigercat

by Josh Patterson on March 22, 2014 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

Well, not only do I love vintage jets, but I'm also a s****r for anything with a round engine! (Hearing EAA's B-17 flying around yesterday got me thinking about it again!)I think the Tigercat ranks among the best looking of them all! [...]

Another Lightning Strike! (92 Sq F.1A)

by Josh Patterson on March 21, 2014 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Seems like a lot of lightnings have been showing up lately, so I thought I'd show my 92 Sq. F.1A as well. (I like the early Lightnings before they added chord to the fin and squared it off!) I built it when the kit was new, so it's about [...]

Academy 48th Scale F-4B Finally Complete

by Jack Mugan on March 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

It's hard to believe it was seven months ago that I posted some in-progress photos on this project. There was a lot of decal work even before I added the Mike Grant rivets. I liked the kit and built it OOB.

“Big Fish” – Rotterdam Oude Haven, 1952

by Rob Pollock on March 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Here's an aircraft diorama I worked on for about three months (250+ hours). The overall size makes it difficult to photograph, so apart from a few overviews at middle distance I've included several shots of local areas in the scene. [...]

U.S. Coast Guard Post War Aircraft

by Mike Maynard on March 19, 2014 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]
