Flak 88

by AL HOFFMAN on August 4, 2013 · in Armor · 11 ≡

Here is the nemesis of a lot of the aircraft posted here. It is an original release Bandai 1/48th scale kit that came with figures & transport carriage (not shown). These were exceptional kits for their day. There was a whole series [...]

1/12th Revell "Gambler" Chopper

by Joe Caputo on August 4, 2013 · in Automotive · 3 ≡

As my wife's collection of 1/12 CRevell Choppers grows, I couldn't help but wonder what all the fuss was about. She just loves building these things, so I thought I'd give one a try. Now, I knew it had to be different from hers, and I a [...]

Eduard Spitfire Mk.IXc

by Bernard Wylie on August 4, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Another kit finished, this one is Eduards excellent Mk.IXc with Brassin cockpit, wheels and exhaust. It's finished as an aircraft from No 453 Squadron RAAF.

Supermarine Seafire XV in 1/48

by Nick Newell on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

Let me start by saying I’m not the world’s greatest modeller. Nor am I the fastest. I am however a Spitfire/Seafire-holic and what you’re now looking at is a seven month labour of love. But let’s start at the beginning… This is [...]

For those who can’t afford the big Tamiya – try the 21 Century Toys Corsair

by Tom Cleaver on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here is the 21st Century Toys F4U-1A Corsair, done as Ike Kepford's VF-17 F4U-1A, and another one modified with the Montex conversion set to do an anonymous Marine F4U-1 "birdcage" circa the Rabaul campaign in late [...]

1/48 Monogram Stuka

by Joe Caputo on August 3, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Another nice, old kit from one of our favorite companies of years past. As with most Monogram models of that era, a fairly straight forward build yeilds a decent looking replica. These kits provide a good starting platform for [...]

Hi My father has finished a new model to our glider collection. This model was made completely from scratch. Here are the final photos. I hope you like it. Cheers Santiago

1/72 Airfix Short Sunderland

by Joe Caputo on August 2, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This was another old kit that I decided to "experiment" on. Since I already had a 2nd kit to build "stock", I thought I'd back date this to an earlier Mark. This required moving the top turret and changing the hull. [...]

1/32 Seafire L. Mk.III.

by Erich Goldbach on August 1, 2013 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

This modeling project was done about 10 years ago and is the results of a conversion of the Hasegawa 1/32 scale Spitfire Mk.Vb to a Seafire L. Mk.III. This build was a joint venture. The basic building, cockpit interior and resin Seafire [...]
