by Alvin Betson on October 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]

1/72 Hasegawa P-51B/C Mustang

by Alvin Betson on October 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

A semi fictitious P-51 out of the Hasegawa Mustang Mk.III 'RAF Combo' kit. Wanted to build Henry Brown's The Hun Hunter' Texas but couldn't find any after market decals so robbed these from an Aeromaster Debden Jugs Pt.III set. Lt Duane W. [...]

1/72 Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt

by Alvin Betson on October 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 1 ≡

Not a completely accurate depiction of Lt. John Godfrey's P-47, changed a couple of little things to suit what I wanted to build, dropped the emblem and made him an ace.(I know he clocked up around 16.33 kills but in Aeromasters Debden [...]

by Rob Pollock on October 7, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here are a couple of shots of Trumpeter's 1/24 Hurricane. I bought the kit second-hand at a model show last spring and built it in the summer. It's OOB except for replacement belts. The livery is for a night fighter of 87 Squadron in [...]

1/144th scale New Ware Thor Able II-Tiros 1 LV

by Erich Goldbach on October 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is another non-AC subject I completed in the past two weeks. New Ware is a company that produces high quality all resin kits of various rocket designs. This is the first kit I have built from this company and I will say that it was [...]

Third time's the charm . . . yet another A3D Skywarrior

by Michael Wayne Knowles on October 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here again is another Hasegawa Skywarrior, this time in the early attack scheme. This is in the out of box markings for USS Independence in the early 60's. I am still working on a scratch built bomb bay with the two nuclear shapes she [...]

I'm in the mood for love . . . the KA3D Skywarrior by Hasegawa

by Michael Wayne Knowles on October 6, 2013 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

It seems everyone likes the Whale, so I present another of my Skywarrior models, this time the KA3D. Not much to say, except that this is the carrier borne refueling tanker version out of the box by Hasegawa. The diagonal stripes are a [...]

How big is big? the H-K B-17G in progress

by Tom Cleaver on October 6, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 20 ≡

So, how big is big? This is the H-K B-17G hanging in its storage area on the wall, next to a 1/48 Tamiya Lancaster. Those of you who have the 1/48 :Lanc in your collection think of it as a big model, yes? Not so much here! Ten days of [...]

Tamiya 1/35 Scale FLAK 37 Anti-Aircraft Gun

by Erich Goldbach on October 6, 2013 · in Armor · 16 ≡

Lately, I've been in a rut when it comes to working on any of my current AC projects so I figured that I would put them away and tackle some subjects that I usually don't model. This FLAK gun model is one of my non- AC projects. I got [...]
