Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader…

by Robert Bausch on July 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The Vought F-8 Crusader has always been a favorite of mine. It has to me some of the same classic look as the Hawker Hunter does. And it was one of the greatest Navy fighters ever, a fitting jet descendant of the famous Vought F4U Corsair. [...]

Orange you glad you aren't trying to match this scheme?

by Rob Anderson on July 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

So I am well on the way to what I am currently calling the "clownfish" scheme for my HU-16C. White, yellow and fluorescent orange are done. I may "red" up the orange a bit, but looking at the two color pictures of [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fokker DVII

by Paul Mahoney on July 20, 2014 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This is one I did a while back - my first 1/48 WW1 subject. One of Eduard's (then) new and improved line of WW1 kits. I think it was released in 2005 or so. I recall this one just coming together effortlessly. It was a lot of fun to [...]
