Mustang I, 1/72 Italeri, RCAF 414 Squadron, F/O Hollis Hills

by Aldo Missio on November 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Hollis Hills was an American flying with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and this aircraft, with Hollis at the stick, was the first Mustang to score a victory, over an FW-190, above the beaches of the disastrous Dieppe raid, a dark day for [...]

B-29 1/48 scale full metal skin

by Rick Schad on November 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 39 ≡

Well after 275 hours of building this B-29 is complete, minus the livery which arrives soon. Each individual panel is painstakingly done in aluminum. This is my fourth all metal skin build, and by far my most ambitious! If I never see [...]

DR.1 Fokker

by Cricket on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

In the words of Monty Python “And now for something completely different” :)- I was talking with someone about Dave Deal’s Tri Plane, so I searched for and came up with this instead. I thought it looked cute and thought what the [...]

Airco DH. 5, 1:48. Fenix, flown Cpt. Roy Williams, 41 Sqn. RFC

by Milan Tesař on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

I've got a few models to finish, but until that's done I'm going to keep showing the planes I've built over the last year since I got back into modeling. DH. 5 from Fénix looks very good at first glance. Unfortunately, the very detailed [...]

Beechcraft King Air 350, A32-346, School of Air Warfare, 32 Sqn RAAF, East Sale Vic 2004.

by Allan J Withers on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 30 ≡

1/72 RVHP, resin kit, started 02-2016 finished 12-2022, probably not the best or worst resin kit but I think the end result is worth the effort !

Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1A Corsair

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 37 ≡

One of the best ever produced prop aircraft models.

Hobby Boss 1/32 F-84G Thunderjet

by Mark Bellegante on November 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

This is a kit I built awhile back. As I recall the fit was good and I had no issues with the build. I used the kit decals which represent a plane from 58th Fighter Bomber Wing . The only additions to the kit were masking tape seat belts [...]

1/48 Hobbycraft P-40F

by Tom Bebout on November 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

It's been awhile since I've posted here, life sometimes gets in the way, so here's my 24th P-40 to add to my collection. Although it's a Hobbycraft kit they use the old AMT molds for their rendition of a P-40F. Since I've build several AMT [...]

Junkers Ju 87 A2

by David Paul Cope on November 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is the 1/48th scale offering from Special Hobby. The kit is definitely not for beginners, having many fit issues especially when joining the wing to fuselage, which required copious amounts of filler to correct but nothing that [...]

"The Two Faces of the Atlas", Part II: John Glenn and Friendship 7 on Mercury Mission MA-6!

by Roland Sachsenhofer on November 19, 2023 · in Space · 20 ≡

NASA's namesakes loved (and love) to be mythological and classical: an overview of the space flight programmes and spaceship names buzzes with gods and goddesses from classical Greek mythology. One god's name in particular stands out from [...]
