First Post : Building a DH Vampire

by Richard Hanson on April 27, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I'm new to this blogging thing, but my wife blogs extensively about her quilting/patchwork and really enjoys the process and feedback she gets, so here goes. I've restarted modeling after a 25 year (i guess) break and I am amazed at the [...]

Fujimi 1/48 Focke- Wulf Fw190 D-9

by Joe Caputo on April 26, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

When Fujimi came out with this beauty, it was "state of the art". Decades have passed since then, but it still sits on my shelf collecting dust. Back when I built it, my reference material was limited. I had a picture post [...]

Italeri 1/48 C-130 E/H

by Josh Patterson on April 26, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I can only take credit for the last 75% of this build. Way back in 93 I helped one of my Mom's friends move out of his roofing buisness. He was an avid gardener, which is how my Mom knew him, but he was also a modeler. I always liked going [...]

Hasegawa 1/72, Mitsubishi G4M2 Betty

by Milan Vukovic on April 26, 2014 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Real icon of WWII, Betty was a long time on my list of must-do Japanese a/c. As she's big plane, I always opted for some smaller subjects, to be able to finish them more quickly. When I started building it, all went incredible easy and [...]

Kinetic E-2C Hawkeye

by Martin Dytrych on April 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is my very last build. Just finished before competition in Mosonmagyarovar. I found many issues when building it, some of them too late, unfortunately. The biggest one was balancing the model - I put around 80-90 gr until the model [...]

Hasegawa 1/72, Mitsubishi Ki-51 Sonia

by Milan Vukovic on April 24, 2014 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Ki-51 was a versatile airplane, built in over 2.300 units. Although easy pray for modern American fighters, it had very important role in secondary war theaters. I choose to present a version in controversial dark blue camouflage, which [...]
