by Paul Mahoney on June 5, 2014 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Here is my first contribution to this great new (to me!) site. It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]

Hi, While my father is finishing to paint the pair of De Havilland DH 91 Albatross he started a new model from scratch. In this case he is dealing with the huge AW 27 Ensing. A friend of us will make the decals for the BOAC Albatross and [...]

Here is the kit that got my on my large-scale building bing, the mighty Hasegawa 109G-6! I built this kit very soon after it came out back in 2002 and is still in my collection, along with 2 others I've built since. Yes the kit has a few [...]

Monogram 1/48 F-101B Voodoo…

by Robert Bausch on June 2, 2014 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I built this one a couple of years ago. Wow, what a big airplane the F-101 is! Makes the F-105 look little! And those tiny wings. I have always liked the Voodoo, in some ways it is more distinctive looking than the more famous F-4 Phantom [...]

Torn between BoB or Balkans markings. Hmm...

P-40E Aleutian Tiger

by Ken Patterson on May 31, 2014 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I built this a while ago but thought it would be good for my first iModeler post. This aircraft is from the 343rd FG, 11th FS in the Aleutians 1942. I thought this was different in that there were no blue surrounds on the national [...]
